Top 5 Tips to Name Your Kitten

It can be so much fun to come up with a name. Sometimes, you can draw a blank and need help figuring out what to choose. Other times, you see so many good ideas, you just can’t possibly pick. Or you’re a super social person and would love the input of loved ones.

So, if you just can’t make up your mind or want to find inclusive ways to choose, here are a few ideas from us to you.

1. Choose Your Favorite Musician

Everyone has a favorite musician. Do they have an interesting band or solo name? You can always choose to name your kitty after someone you’ve admired for years.

2. Draw a Name from a Hat

Sometimes you think of a ton of good names, and you’re not really sure which one of them to choose. If that’s the case, you can always let fate decide for you. You can go the classic route and draw your favorite names on a few pieces of paper. Or, you can go to a virtual website, put in your options, and it will generate a random choice for you. This takes out all the guessing work.

3. Pick a Family-Favorite

If you share your home with others, you should get their input too. Have them choose their favorite musicians or a music-related input and see what you all come up with.

4. Take an Online Poll

Everyone online loves giving their opinion about every last little thing. So you will surely have lots of participants in naming your cat should you choose to take it online.

You can start a poll on Facebook, giving your friends a list of options. Or you can ask for their own name suggestions to see if they have anything to contribute.

5. Ask Your Music-Loving Friends

We all have friends that we share a common ground with in terms of music. If you and one of your friends are melodiously connected, you can always ask them for their input. Maybe they will think of something that you won’t. Plus it might make it more special if someone you love helps contribute to your best buddy’s name.
