The Most Popular Cat Names 2024

It’s hard to believe that in three months, we’ll be waving goodbye to 2024 and welcoming in the new year with ample Prosseco and midnight kisses (if that’s your style). We thought now would be a great time to reflect back on some of the most popular cat names we’ve been loving in 2024.

Trends come and go, but something that reigns true year after year is the fact people love to use human names for their pets and often will take inspiration from celebrities and favourite shows.

It can be tricky to decide what to call your beloved feline companion. Some opt for cutesy names, whereas others want something bold and unique. You may be reading this blog to see if your own furry friend's name has made it into the top ten or for some inspiration on what to name a new cat that’s coming your way in the new year.

If you’re undecided on whether to get a cat, maybe this is your sign. As long as you have the capabilities and capacity to care for one, we highly recommend it as a brilliant way to boost mental well-being and give you a sense of purpose.

So, let’s delve in and see which cat names have been the most popular in 2024. In no particular order, we have:

Luna: A popular name amongst both cats and dogs. Often used due to its mystical, celestial connotations. An ideal name for black cats and those in touch with their spiritual side.
Bella: Is perfect for cats who possess a certain level of beauty, such as British shorthairs. Meaning beautiful in Italian, this name is popular among female cats with shiny coats, long whiskers, and large eyes.
Milo: This simple name is ideal for male cats who just want to play and make mischief. If you’ve ever seen the Tweenies, you’ll be aware of the funny, lovable character who also shared this name.
Simba: Another name most famous for being seen on screens around the world. Simba, best known from the film Lion King, is the perfect name for adventurous cats with wild fur, such as golden Persians or Maine Coons.
Nala: Sticking with the Lion King theme Nala is another popular option amongst cats. If you have a female and male cat, naming them Simba and Nala is an adorable option.
Coco: Inspired by the French designer Coco Chanel, this name is ideal for those who love a touch of the luxurious and feel their cat deserves the lavish lifestyle too.
Loki: If you’re a fan of Norse mythology or the Marvel Universe, it will come as no surprise that this name is right up there as one of the most popular choices amongst cat owners, a unisex name that allows you to showcase your love for the out of the ordinary.
Oscar: Often shortened to Ozzy, is a popular choice not just for human parents but also for cat mums and dads alike. It’s a timeless, classic choice.
Tigger: This has been a popular choice for cat owners for generations. Ideal for playful and energetic felines and owners who love classic Winnie the Pooh and all the wonderful characters that play a part in making it so great.
Jasper: A modern and high-class version of the traditional name Whiskers. With a similar ring but more elegance. Ideal for cats such as Russian Blue’s and Sphynx.

There are so many different cat names out there, so make sure you research them all before making a decision. If you stick to one name from an early age, it is easier for your cat to recognise when you’re calling for them.
