Final Thoughts: Girl Cat Names
We hope you found inspiration in these 350+ girl cat names. Getting a new pet is an exciting experience, and brainstorming name ideas is a fun process.
It can also be a bit stressful, however. Cats live 10-15 years on average, sometimes even longer, so you’ll be saying the name for years to come. (1)
First things first, take time to gather lots of ideas. Then, if you see a name you like, write it down. You can also click on the heart icon to the left of the name on our site to save.
Once you have enough options, the next step is to narrow down the list.
Go through each name and say it out loud. Does it sound like a good fit? Also, think about whether it works for your cat’s appearance and personality.
And if others are in your household, ensure you get their input, too.
Before long, you’ll have a shortlist of ideas. Do a gut check and see which one feels right. When you find the best cat name for your kitten, you’ll know it!

After looking through all the options above, you may need to search just a bit longer. Picking a pet name is a big decision, after all.
Don’t worry – we have even more ideas for finding female cat names.
Cat Name Generator
Did you see our cat name generator? This handy tool provides ideas based on your favorite name styles and interests.
You can select styles like cute, funny, sporty, tough, elegant, classic, and themes like movies, TV shows, books, history, mythology, and more.
And best of all, it allows you to combine different search criteria. For example, do you want a name that’s classic and historical? Cute and from a TV show? Your wish is our command!
Discover Your Own Cat Names
Going in another direction, why not brainstorm ideas on your own? Inspiration is everywhere, and these prompts can lead you to some excellent options for pet names.
Hobbies and Interests
What do you like to do in your spare time? Do you have any favorite hobbies or interests?
Your pastimes provide excellent inspiration when naming a cat.
For example, a name like Lyric or Melody could be a fun choice if you love music.
We know someone who is a massive fan of the Boston Red Sox and named their pet Fenway after the team’s famous stadium.
Favorite Locations
Geography is another source of ideas. For example, you could select the name of a city, state, or country you like to travel to or one you’ve always wanted to visit. Or tie it to where you grew up or live now.
One woman we knew studied abroad in Sydney, Australia, and picked the name Sydney for her pet to recognize that special time in her life.
Famous Figures
Another option is to turn to famous people you admire, like actors, athletes, singers, leaders, and other notable figures.
You can use their name or nickname for your feline friend.
Entertainment
Your favorite forms of entertainment can also be mined for monikers. For example, what TV shows do you watch? Do you have a favorite movie? Or a book you read over and over again?
In this case, the character names can be repurposed for your dog.
The Lion King is an extremely popular source for cat names. (Nala and Simba continually rank at the top of the chart for popular cat names.)
Disney films are full of great ideas.
Brands
Last but not least, brands are another place to look for girl cat names. Someone who loves Apple products could call their cat Mac, for example. Or a person who enjoys Lululemon sportswear may pick the moniker Lulu.
These tips and tricks can help you find an excellent name for your new addition!
