Star Wars-themed names are always popular. Try Chewie, Han, or Lando for your male cat.

Game Of Thrones characters are also about to explode onto the kitty scene. Jon Snow can be used as a twist on the popular white cat name Snowy, Joffrey could fit for a mischievous feline, and even the surname Lannister could apply to any number of kitties.

Finally, lots of cat owners look to the world of sports to name their cats.

This can be a great option if your team is currently on top of the world and winning, but be warned: Players will switch teams throughout their career, so you might end up coming to regret the day you named your feline LeBron, Ronaldo, or Neymar.

When it comes to sports-influenced names, it’s safest to pick a retired superstar whose legacy is already established.
