My mother told me cats reacted better to names if it began with ‘S’. So we had Sara, Sigurd, Severin, Suveren, Seraph and a few others I no longer remember.

If I ever get an apartment big enough to have pets, I’ll probably continue the tradition.

Partners family named their first cat Punky cause she had hair like a punk. Then all the subsequent ones have been music genres.

Punky birthed: •Mod •Rock •Hippy •Techno •Jazz …and outlived them all

A stray cat wandered in not long after punky passed and birthed two more so now there is Funk and Soul. I think it’s mean that the ginger is named Soul.

We have four cats. The first two were a bonded pair and we named them after two characters on a show we were watching when they were adopted, Sense8. Wolfgang & Riley. Scarily enough their personalities kinda fit, minus the DJing and rocket launcher.

3rd cat we rescued from the street, and she’s Sweets Petites from tha Streets.

4th cat was named by the lady adopting a litter out, after the Rugrats. So we’ve got Phil.

Every time I have adopted pets from the shelter(all of my pets), we just throw out random sounds and syllables until they respond. Basically, they choose their own name.
