Pet Name Suggestions

Welcome to another great PetPeoplesPlace Tool! The Pet NameFinder lists over 5000 popular (and not so popular!) names for your pets.

The naming of your pet is one of the first steps in creating a long lasting bond with your pet, it is not a decision to be taken lightly, give the matter some thought, and whilst you are thinking, read these tips, they may help you, they may not.

  • If you are going to choose a ‘Fifi Trixibelle’ type name for your pet, try to make sure that the name can be shortened, preferably to no longer than two syllables. A shorter name is also easier for the pet to learn
  • If you have other pets in the house, try to have a distinctive sounding name for your new pet
  • Also remember that a tiny kitten sleeping in your hands may grow up to be a large cat and you may like the idea of your large adult cat being called ‘Tiny’
  • If you have named your new pet after a dear departed pet, don’t expect the animal to become an identical one to it.
  • If you want to be creative with your name, then be creative. The naming of a cat is nothing like naming a child. If you call the cat ‘Twinkle Toes’ you will not cause him any psychological difficulties and as far as I am aware, the other cats in the area will not make fun of the cat because of the name.
