Shout Out To All The Black Cats With Generic Names
Naming pets can be a challenge; I can't even begin to imagine how difficult naming a child could be. The name needs to reflect their personality and habits: it would be strange if a cat named "Tiger" were so timid that it spent most of its time hiding. Often, though, it's children who get to name the pets, and children are, more often than not, not particularly creative. Kids tend to want to name their pets unusual things (for example, my cousin wanted to name her dog "Pretty"), so I suppose clichéd names are better than that!
There are some cat names, like human names, that are incredibly common. Black cats seem to bear the brunt of this burden, with many of these poor little creatures sharing similar names.
This is a list of the most common names for black cats:
Shadow
Perfect for a sneaky little monster or a cat that is always hiding.
Tuxedo
This name doesn't shorten into an easy nickname, making it perfect for a regal, snobby kitty who would only go by their full name anyway.
Midnight
Socks
My personal favorite. No kitten would dare to be caught prancing about without socks on. Just look at the cute little white patches above the jellybeans!
10/10 quality cat content.
Oreo
Has there ever been a black and white cat that isn't named Oreo?
Excellent food, excellent name for a cat.
Merlin
Why not name your cat after the greatest sorcerer to ever live?
Fight me, Dumbledore.
Salem
Name your cat after the sassiest, most sarcastic television cat to date.
Black cats are the least likely to be adopted because people think they're unlucky, which is hard to believe considering how cute they are.
Adopt a black cat today and give it the most common or most obscure name possible!
Your cat's name doesn't matter; what matters is that it is happy and healthy.
