How to name a kitten: practical tips and names

Are you going to start a purring pet? Or maybe the kitten is playing next to you or is it eagerly drinking milk from its bowl? Then you have quite naturally matured the question, how to name the kitten ?. Here are a few recommendations, which, of course, will help make the new masters the right choice.

First, to determine how to name a kitten, you need to take into account its individual characteristics, which may well be the basis for a nickname:

• floor. First of all, it is necessary to start from this important characteristic, some of the names that come to mind will disappear by itself;
• Color and other characteristics of wool, body . The name of the animal can be almost the full name of its coloration in Russian (Chernysh, Belyash, Ryzhik) or a foreign language (Blackie, Rufus, Blanca). Can be tracked simply by association with the color of the wool (black - Coal, white - Snowball, gray - Cloud, cream - Ryazhenka). If a fluffy cat can easily be called Pushcha, then in the case of the short-haired, this is the worst option. You can fantasize for a long time, using periodic printing, the Internet and other sources;
• breed. The name of a thoroughbred kitten is simply obliged to reflect its origin or features of this particular breed (for home use a long "thoroughbred" name can be shortened to a few sounds). For example, how to name a British kitten? It is appropriate to note that it is best to choose an English name (Chelsea, Sophie), as for a Thai cat, for example, the best name will be the eastern one. The name of a Persian kitten or exotic can sound in any language, however, it must necessarily be melodic and tender. Representatives of breeds of impressive size are best called "to grow up", so that later there would be less comical situations (for example, Behemoth, Bogatyr, even if so little lump is more associated with the Droplet);
• Character. It should be taken into account only if it is clearly expressed and you have already noted it. Lazy kittens are often called Sonya for this quality, and mischievous can get the name of Pirate, for example.

You can try to choose a name for a kitten, based on your own hobbies or the specifics of the profession. Motorist? Name one of the favorite brands of cars. Geek? Accessories, games, equipment and stuff. A medical professional? Names of medicines and tools. There are a lot of options. Just remember that the nickname should be laconic, kind, short and sonorous, as funny as possible. Let you and all household members be pleased to pronounce it, and a four-legged friend - to hear and respond to it.

Human names, especially not infrequent, it is better not to call a kitten so that you do not have to blush before the owner of the same name among people, especially if they find your new friend. Try to limit yourself to rarely used, foreign or ancient names. You can consider variants of the names of the characters of cinema and cartoons, foreign actors.

By the way, if several people live in the house / apartment, then it is best for them to discuss how to name the kitten, on the family council, in order to choose a name that everyone will like without exception. Even the smallest animal can try to find out which of the proposed nicknames is most to his liking. To do this, take the baby in your arms and speak slowly and clearly chosen nicknames. It happens that for a certain combination of sounds kittens react more actively than others. Whether to listen to the opinion of a new member of the family is up to you.
