Features of choice
The first thing that comes to the owners’ minds is to name the kitten by the color of its coat. However, often these nicknames are completely silent and too long. It has been scientifically proven that cats, like dogs, understand perfectly well when their owners are turning to them. If they are accustomed to their names from childhood, they will respond to them, and the kitten gets used to the name in a couple of weeks.
The cat's name should be short, but not stupid. However, it may differ in status. For example, it is inappropriate to choose a nickname that is too simple for a cat of an aristocratic breed. No Vasya, Murzik, Barsik will be associated with something special, distinguished by high status. Therefore, choosing based on the breed is an important criterion when choosing a name.
You can’t come up with frankly stupid nicknames for animals like Khmyr, Neft (Neftyanik), Vurdalak, Abrek, Honduras, Spice, Churka. You should not give animals offensive names. For example, the following nicknames are not suitable: Niger, Rogue, Shaitan, Witch, Crow, Zamarashka, Negra, Scarecrow, Basmach, Bzdyn.
You cannot come up with a nickname based on racial hatred or associating color with dirt (Gryazka, Gryaznulya, Chukhan, Pig, Hryun). The fundamental factors when choosing a nickname can be color features, for example, the presence of light spots, characteristic socks, as well as nuances of character. In addition, you can rely on the type of breed, the “star historical” ancestor, and the sex of the animal. You can give a name with meaning that sounds beautiful, short and has a meaningful meaning.
At the same time, you can use a creative approach that will allow you to give your cat an exclusive name. If the kitten belongs to a certain breed, the best solution would be to choose a nickname based on the name in the pedigree. In this case, the name can be its shortened or affectionate version (for example, Marty from “Martin”). At the same time, it should not sound harsh, like in dogs.
It’s good that the name has two syllables, it feels soft. Dog names for cats are not suitable, such as, say, Jack, Gray, Count, Jaeger, Goofy. Sometimes even the brand of a car sounds much more interesting than borrowing a name from a dog (Lexus, Porsche, Boomer, Merc). There is no need to name your pet after famous cartoon characters that have nothing in common with representatives of the cat breed, for example, after the ant Flick, the drake Daffy.

Names for black cats boys with meaning
Cats can also be called by names that reflect the names of precious stones and carry a certain meaning:
- Onyx. The black mineral of the same name removes spells and helps to acquire and increase wealth.
- Morion. Black quartz with this name absorbs negative energy, transforming it into positive.
- Carbonado, named after the black diamond.

- Atsuko (Atsuk), meaning - warm.
- Daiti means smart, intelligent.
- Naoki (Nao) – correct.

List of cat names
When the choice of gender is of particular importance, the owner tries to choose a name for the pet that will convey his inner “I”. This could be the name of some ancient historical figure, as well as a nickname with meaning. For example:
- Miyako (night child);
- Tsushiko (lunar);
- Daf (black world);
- Dwayne (dark);
- Erebus (god of darkness).
The name of the animal can be based on the nuances of color. For example, a black kitten with white spots can be called Yin-Yang, Feng Shui. If a small pet has a white chest, a suitable name for him may be Bond, Mister, Sir. A completely black kitten can be called a foreign word “black”, which has a different sound among different peoples. Let's say that for the British it is Black, for the Germans it is Schwartz, for the Kazakhs it is Cheren, and for the Japanese it is Kuroi.
A large breed cat can be named after a significant character from a cult film. For example, nickname ideas can be drawn from the names of good characters and villains. For example, noble nicknames will come from the names Harry, Potter, Sauron, Voldemort, Ron, Snake, Aang, Zuko, Soko, Gandalf, Draco, Malfoy, Hagrid. If you delve deeper into the Greek theme, you can glean from there such variants of nicknames as Orpheus, Erebos, Theristis.
You can name your boy pet by the name of a gemstone, mineral, or star. For example, the nicknames Shungite, Agate, Morion, Onyx would be quite euphonious. From the world of legends and myths you can take such rare but original ideas for names as Baku, Balam, Fenfir and Shilikhan. When choosing a name for a pet with black fur, some people prefer to use the theme of national desserts made from cocoa or chocolate.
It is thanks to these breeders that today the cats received the names Ganache, Bachi, Tiramisu. If you look around, you can see a lot of options thrown up by what surrounds us. For example, a fluffy can be called by such nicknames as Yandex, Google, Twitter, Line, Viber, Byte. Nicknames such as Dove or Nettle sound no less beautiful.
The original name could be the nickname Antibiotic. Despite its length, this is a meaningful option, because in most cases, furry pets have the ability to calm their owners. Some even believe that cats have healing powers.
What not to call a black kitten
It is undesirable to give some nicknames to black kittens. Among them:
- Names of deceased relatives or friends.
- Offensive or obscene nicknames given to animals by their not very decent owners.
- Names associated with dark forces are She-Devil, Devil, Witch, Demoness, otherwise you can invite trouble.
- Paraphrased nicknames of a cat or cat, for example, one calls Chernysh - Cherni, the other - Black. The animal must have one name. It should respond to him.
Whatever nickname the owners choose for their black cat, it will remind them that another full-fledged family member has appeared not only with his own character, but also with his own name.
Double names for royalty
If you want to emphasize the royalty of your pet, you can choose a double, complex name for her. It’s clear that in the process of communication it will be reduced to something convenient, but why not get creative.

Myths and legends
Cats were worshiped in many ancient cultures. The goddess Bastet, a woman with the head of a cat, “ruled” for more than two centuries – from the 10th to the 8th centuries. BC. The Celts also had a beautiful myth about the fairy Sith, who could turn into a black cat with a white mark on her chest. By the way, fairies in many ancient legends were not good creatures and in some languages, for example, Avestan, Farsi and even Old English, fairy (parika, pari, fari, feri) was translated as a witch.
In the Middle Ages, Pope Innocent IV, with a special bull, declared all black cats to be the devil's spawn, accompanying and helping witches, and ordered them to be mercilessly destroyed. And today a huge number of cats die in the world, especially on Halloween, whose only sin is a fur coat the color of the night.
But in many countries, a black cat is considered a symbol of good luck. In ancient Ireland, a black cat crossing the road or entering a house meant good luck. In England they believe that the owner of such an animal will have no end of admirers. In Scotland and Australia they believe that with the appearance of a black cat in the house there will always be happiness, wealth, and good luck. In Russia, it is believed that a black cat protects the home from thieves.
By purchasing a black baby, the owner receives not only an affectionate and cute pet, but also an extraordinary magical animal. Therefore, choosing a name should be taken very seriously.
