Cat names vary about as much as anything, and even more so these days. With names ranging from conventional people names to the names of fictional characters and even to names that didn’t used to be considered names at all, but now are, at least for cats.

The point is, the options are really pretty endless, especially because you don’t have to worry about the other cats making fun of your cat at school. So have fun with it!
