General information about nicknames
If you bought a kitten at a club from a breeder or at a kitten show, they will give you the necessary documents, including a passport. This document indicates a name containing the name of the nursery, the letter by which the entire litter is named, and sometimes the first letters of the kittens’ parents. In most cases, these names are very long, since the nicknames of the same breed in the nursery should not be repeated for 30 years. But at home you can shorten the name or come up with your own. To make this easier, below are the main selection criteria:
- Nicknames should be short and clear. Say your chosen name out loud several times. How well can she hear? Is it easy for you to pronounce it? What does it sound like?
- The nickname must contain hissing sounds (sh, shch, s, h, zh) and end with vowels.

How to choose a name for a boy kitten?
Do you remember what Captain Vrungel said in Andrei Nekrasov’s story? Whatever you name the ship, that’s how it will sail. There is some truth in the statement. Therefore, make your choice responsibly. Start by writing a list of names that you and your family like. It is quite possible that you will have the same names. And the question of choosing a nickname will be resolved by itself.
It will be good if children take an active part in the choice. This will bring them closer to their new family friend and give them a sense of responsibility and pride for the four-legged bundle.
Child and kitten
Look carefully at your cat, study its habits. Perhaps his character, appearance, manners will give you an idea of what to call him. Pay attention to the fact that soon your pet will turn from a small lump into an adult, independent cat. Therefore, you should not give an infantile name. It would be ridiculous to name a Maine Coon boy, for example, the name “baby”. After all, the breed of these cats is one of the largest. Such kittens are suitable for majestic names that reflect a masculine character and large size, like wild cats. For example, the name Wulf, Conor, Knight, Gray, Osiris.
You can use the Internet, or books with names that are sold in bookstores, or rely on your own imagination. Don't despair if on the first day you still can't figure out what to call the cat. You can leave this activity for a couple of days, perhaps during this time the kitten will tell you what to call it, or you will get inspiration. As they say, the morning is wiser than the evening.
