List of names for Scottish cats

There are no special rules when choosing a nickname for your pet. In many respects, everything depends on the imagination and individual preferences of the owner. The only exceptions are purebred cats, the initial letter of the name of which is determined by litter. But here, the field for imagination is great.

With a large variety, it is difficult to determine the name for your favorite. There are several criteria when choosing. Based on them or come up with something unusual - it's up to you.

1. Character. Scottish-born girls have a calm disposition. They are moderately playful and do not cause their owners much trouble. But do not forget about individual features. Do not rush with the choice of nicknames, take a closer look at the new member of the family. Perhaps his behavior or habits will become fundamental in the choice.
2. Color. In this breed, more than a hundred color variations are permissible. Therefore, there cannot be a universal name. For example, black kittens will be nicknamed Blackie, Agatha or Noir. Among the representatives of the breed there is also a smoky color. In this case, the animal can be given the name Smoke, Gray, Chloe. For cats of chocolate color, the nicknames Chanel, Shoko, Shanti, Darley will be most appropriate. For snow-white beauties, the most suitable nicknames will be Bella, Snezhka, Vysi, White, Blondi, Merlin, Alba. But for the fiery redheads, the nicknames Foxy, Ryzhka, Squirrel will become most relevant.
3. Lovely faces. Nature rewarded some kitties with a truly pretty appearance. In this case, all the nicknames that reflect this feature will do. These include: Mila, Nyasha, Pusya, Paw, Musya, Busya.
4. At the place of origin of the breed. If the owners want to reward the pet with a truly Scottish name, then you can refer to the list of female names popular in this country. Choose the one that seems most suitable for you: Leslie, Jesse, Ailee, Marron, Kenna, Davina.
5. Combination of the name of mother and father. Breeders and simply responsible owners know exactly the name of the father of the kittens. Perhaps you will get a very interesting and original name if you combine a part of the nickname of mother and father. For example, if the cat’s mom is Marta and his father is Sison, then the baby can be called Smart. The name takes on special significance, since in translation from English, smart means smart. You may also have some very interesting end-points.
6. Listen to your intuition. If, at the first glance at the kitten, you have a certain association and some word or name is spinning in your head, then it’s worth considering. Perhaps it is it that best suits your pet.

Not always the owners want to give their pets original or sophisticated nicknames. For example, if you purchase a kitten from breeders, then the name will already be written in the documents. But this does not mean that you should use it. Come up with your own that suits your ideas.

A cool pet name is able to cheer up not only all family members, but also friends who come to visit. Among them there are quite unusual and funny options. Just imagine that you called the kitten Hypotenuse or Bun. And then every morning you loudly call to the whole apartment: "Bun, bun, eat." Or an even funnier option: “Look, the Saucepan has once again screwed up in the hallway.”

The number of options is unlimited. It all depends on your imagination and sense of humor. One has only to understand that you give the nickname to the animal for life. After all, it is quite possible that in a couple of months the funny nickname Kosyak will no longer seem so cool, and the pet will get used to it.

Beautiful and unusual names always attract attention. True, it may be difficult to remember them. But this is not a reason to give preference to popular and battered options.

But be prepared for the fact that others will ask you about what the nickname of your favorite means. You can think this through in advance when choosing a nickname.

Although no one restricts you in choosing a name by law, there are unspoken rules, which most cat lovers follow.

1. You should not name a kitten in honor of a deceased pet. Especially if he died from an illness or accident.
2. You should not choose too complex and long nicknames. It will not be convenient for you to pronounce such a nickname each time. Difficulties in correct pronunciation can occur in children. If you still want to be distinguished by originality, then consider a shortened version of the nickname.
3. Be careful when using common female names. A relative or friend may misunderstand and be offended when she finds out what your cat’s namesake is.
4. For show cats, it’s better to pick sonorous beautiful names. After all, judges unconsciously, when determining the winners, take into account all factors, and they have a certain impression. Therefore, avoid hackneyed ordinary nicknames like Maroussi or Murka.
5. Choose a nickname once and for all. The animal quickly gets used to it. And if you suddenly decided that your Bagheera should become Chelsea, it is not known whether she will respond to the new name.
