Cat Names
Cat names to browse by category or swipe through, free
CatNames.com is a free place to find a name for a new cat. Browse by category, check the popular list for the year, or use the swipe mode to like or skip names and end up with a shortlist. Your favorites turn into shareable cards, so friends can weigh in. A few guides cover naming by zodiac sign and how to pick a name a cat responds to.
Our verdict
Use the swipe mode if browsing a long list wears you out. It is a fast way to narrow things down, and the shareable cards help when more than one person has an opinion. The popular and category lists cover the standard ideas, and the guides are practical rather than padded.
Why we like it: Swiping turns a huge list into a series of quick yes-or-no decisions, then hands back your top picks. There is a featured name of the day, and guides such as cat names by zodiac sign and the most popular names of the year add some variety.
The catch: It is a names site and nothing more. There is no breed matching or care advice, so you will browse, swipe and share, then do the rest of the cat prep elsewhere.
