What other name options could there be?
A Siamese cat in human form would certainly be a successful, daring, purposeful person, so the names of celebrities, historical figures, and mythological characters are suitable for the breed. To emphasize the elite origin of the breed, you can give your pet an old European or intricate Asian name.
A great option is to give your purebred pet a double name. For example, Amalia Taya is suitable for a cat, Duke Benjamin is suitable for a cat.
Simple nicknames are also held in high esteem, but not entirely primitive. Barsik, Murzik, Pushok - calling a purebred Siamese pet this way is absurd. It's better to come up with a cool, funny nickname. The main thing is not to name the cat after a friend or neighbor, because the person may be offended.
Exotic nicknames
To distinguish the pet from other representatives of the breed, the owners choose an original nickname, which is probably not the name of any cat in the area. Friends and guests are delighted and amazed when the owner introduces the pet.
The choice of nicknames is greater than it might seem; look at the beautiful and original options for Siamese kittens in the table.
| nicknames for boys | nicknames for cats |
| Absinthe, Basil, Cardinal, Harley, Cahors, Mirage, Elf, Mercury, Relax (a nickname for a calm and imposing pet), Reckless (for a mischievous and nimble cat), Typhoon, Tyson (the name of a famous boxer for a lively cat), Byron, Casanova (for a loving pet), Velvet, Dubai, Trophy, Garnet, Magellan, Napoleon, Armani (the name of the Italian fashion designer), Beckham (famous football player), Belmondo, Poirot, Behemoth (the cat from Bulgakov's novel), Benefit, Dresden, Amulet, Tulip , Tamerlane, Unicum, Sidney, Wagner, Pascal | Cadence, Katana, Goddess, Venice, Arabesque, Weasel, Nymph, Moon, Kenya, Mauritania, Navarre, Burma, Guinea, Verona, Valkyrie (the name of a Scandinavian warrior for a lively cat), Amazon, Barcelona, Grace, Dulcinea (the heroine of the novel “Don” Quixote"), Mademoiselle, Pennsylvania, Taiga, Fantasia, Citadel, Savannah, Sakura, Tasmania, Shakira (famous singer) |
From films and TV series
When you think of cartoon kittens, a Siamese kitten named Woof comes to mind. It sounds cute, but you need to understand that the small animal will grow up to become a respectable and wayward cat, and the touching name will turn into a ridiculous one. Parents usually ask their children to choose a name for their pet, and they remember their favorite characters from cartoons and fairy tales. Think carefully about whether the nickname invented by a child is suitable for a Siamese cat, and whether it will become absurd in the future.
For purebred pets, it is better to choose the names of characters from films. Every adult has movie idols, remember a worthy option. It is desirable that the character be positive, with a positive destiny.
| Siamese boy | Siamese girl |
| Garfield, Cheshire (cat from Alice in Wonderland), Tom, Leopold, Simba (lion from the Disney cartoon), Basilio, Castiel (angel from the TV series Supernatural), Winchester (any of the brothers - hunters of evil spirits), Merlin (sorcerer), Nermal (kitten from “Garfield”), Bond (spy), Tarzan (nickname for a clever cat who loves to climb furniture) | Fiona (from Shrek), Jade (the heroine of the Brazilian TV series), Buffy (the vampire hunter), Kit (from Charmed), Jasmine (the princess from Aladdin), Arya (the heroine of Game of Thrones), Leia ( princess from “Star Wars”), Narnia (the name of the magical world), Bagheera, Malvina (a lilac Siamese girl can have this name) |
Cool and funny
Siamese cats have a lively and inquisitive character, so cool pet names are quite suitable. The main thing is not to cross the line of decency: do not give your pet an offensive, vulgar name that will cause bewilderment and indignation among others.
| nicknames for cats | nicknames for cats |
| Gigabyte, Biceps, Joystick (a cool option for a nimble kitten), Skype, Musket, Gingerbread, Dollar, Sauce, Cartoon, Croissant, Shampoo, Sensei, Balm, Pennant, Genius, Gigolo, Samurai, YouTube, Tarragon, Caffeine (a funny name for chocolate cat), Ricochet | Hairpin, Melon, Jay, Bullet, Courtesan, Hacienda (a suitable nickname if the cat spends the whole summer in the country) |
Remember that a cat’s name can only be a word with a positive, harmless meaning, because it will certainly influence the fate and character of the animal.
Siamese cats are capricious and capricious, so keep in mind that your pet may not like the chosen nickname. It is not difficult to guess that the cat does not want to recognize the name. Call your pet with the chosen nickname several times: if the cat never reacted, did not wag its tail, or twitch its ear, then you will have to come up with another option. If there is a reaction, then the name was chosen correctly.
Carnival nicknames
As mentioned earlier, a distinctive external feature of Thai cats is the presence of a black spot on the face. When choosing a name, it is also possible to play up this moment by choosing something “sinister”, for example:
- Darth Vader is a character from the Star Wars saga;
- Anubis – Egyptian God;
- Valkyrie – Greek goddess;
- The dragon is a mythical monster;
- Vitch - witch (English);
- Bat – bat (English);
- Batman is a character from the film of the same name;
- Space - space (English);
- Wizard - magician (English).

What you need to choose a name
Usually, owners choose nicknames for cats according to their own ideas and preferences. Some people like original, sonorous, easy-to-pronounce names. Others prefer to call cats long, elaborate, noble names. The choice for a Siamese cat is great, but when choosing, you need to consider the following nuances:
- Simple and sonorous pronunciation. The nickname should not cause difficulties in pronouncing, because the owner will have to call the pet several times a day.
- Cat's perception. Your pet should have no difficulty in adopting a name. The optimal nicknames are those consisting of 2-3 syllables, which contain the consonants “m”, “sh”, “s”, “r” - sounds that are well perceived by cats by ear. Also, the cat must like the name, otherwise the headstrong animal will refuse to respond.
- Meaningful content. Choosing a name for a Siamese pet should not be thoughtless. The nickname may be beautiful, but it is completely unsuitable for the cat. Usually a name is invented for a Siamese cat that correlates with its color point color, magnificent blue iris, temperament and habits, and Thai origin.
Serious and harsh nicknames
Suitable for pets whose owners want to give a strong, brutal name so that it sounds menacing and tough.

What not to call a cat
The character of Maine Coons was formed under the influence of many years of quite serious breeding work. As a result of the selection, not only the main external breed characteristics were recorded, but also the psychological characteristics of the cat.
However, the behavior of a pet directly depends not only on the characteristics of the conditions of upbringing and maintenance, but also on hereditary factors, therefore all nervous and aggressive, as well as withdrawn or fearful animals are completely excluded from breeding. As a result, purebred Maine Coon cats have a balanced character and get along well with any environment, and the most suitable nicknames for such a pet would be:

READ What's in your name? Let's choose a nickname for the cat
For the calmest cats, who are slow and imposing, the nicknames Sonya and Nezhenka, Fifa, Merlina, Susie and Lyalya are well suited. Popular names for Maine Coon cats with a luxurious exterior include Cleopatra or Cleo, Sakura, Aurora and Agnes, Anfisa and Athena, Assol and Margot, Scarlet and Isolde, Juno and Medea, Chanel and Fiona, as well as Diva and Josephine.
The Maine Coon's nickname, if it has a rough pronunciation and is distinguished by the absence of soft consonants, and is also difficult to remember, is incorrect. Experts believe that a significant shortening of the nickname can have a bad effect on the nervous system of a pet.
If the animal's name is very long or complex, and also difficult to pronounce, then it is advisable to leave it for the diploma and pedigree - it is best to call the Maine Coon by a short name at home.
As practice shows, funny and affectionate nicknames make the animal calmer and friendlier. Maine Coon cats are very capable of feeling the emotional state of their owner, so you should talk to such a pet as often as possible, addressing the animal by name. Only in this case will the cat show only the best traits of its character.
Nicknames for the lazy and active

About respect for the cat
Sounds a little strange. What kind of respect are we talking about if this is an ordinary cat? But we can say that he is not ordinary, this time. So, Siamese cats are very proud and a little wayward. If they fell in love with a person, they will be devoted to him. But the owner must treat the pet accordingly. No cruelty or shouting. Of course, a light slap on the back of the body with a newspaper does not count. But this is done only if the cat is caught at the scene of a crime, for example, stealing a cutlet straight from the frying pan. Or he did his toilet chores in the wrong place.
In other cases, we do not raise our voice to the animal. The cat will remember the insult. At best, it will be a scratch on your hand; at worst, it will be damaged shoes or clothes.

Temperament of Siamese pets
Siamese cats have long had a strange reputation. This breed is associated with a sharp cat temperament and unwavering aggression. However, there is little truth in these words. Those who have ever loved a Thai beauty know that you cannot find a kinder pet in the world. Only after getting acquainted with this beast do you realize that a real lion is standing in front of you. And even though the size of this room king is extremely small, his soul occupies the entire room.
Aristocratism and self-control
The Siamese cat is proud. This is a real predator in a smaller version. The Thai woman's gaze conceals wild prairies and hot shrouds. Her habits are aristocratic self-control. And even though the blood of the biblical lion flows in her veins, the domestic progenitor of the Siamese cat takes over her.
Siamese cats are born aristocrats in character and habits.
A hunter and predator, the Siamese cat loves to turn into a sofa toy. She loves to bask and relax next to “her” person. By the way, no matter how many household members she has at her disposal, the pet will choose the only one with whom she will be inseparable. Her character is compared to that of a dog. She is faithful, devoted and courageous.
The Siamese's curiosity will not let his owner get bored
Curiosity and activity
A strong trait of the Siamese breed is its innate curiosity. The cat will not miss a single thing happening in the house, and will definitely stick his paw into it. The owners will have to get used to the furry observer in any room, be it a bathroom or a bedroom.
Siamese cats are extremely active. Games and races keep the cat busy all day. However, this pet needs human attention more than fresh air. You can leave your cat alone with you for no longer than a few hours.
If she wants to protect those who are dear to her, the Siamese cat will fight any enemy
The myth of Siamese aggression is partly true. But owners should not be afraid. The cat will never touch “its own”, but it instantly rushes to protect its loved ones. Those who decide to walk a Thai on a leash should know this. Don't be surprised if a Siamese cat suddenly decides to fight a shepherd.
