The days when every cat was called Kitty or Tiger are long gone. Below you’ll find a list of the best classic English cat names, the kind you’ll hear in homes from Boston to Brighton.
People choose names based on a cat’s looks, breed, personality and so on. Traditional English names are especially popular for aristocratic breeds like the Scottish Fold and the British Shorthair. They sound charming, stylish and a little bit old-fashioned in the best possible way.

When choosing a special name for your pet, remember that you’ll be the one saying it, and quite often, so it should be easy to pronounce and simple. Cats get used to short names fastest.
