How the generator works
The names come from 3,893 cat names we found in public pet licensing and animal shelter records from cities in the US and Canada. The generator draws from the 2,500 most common ones, so you get names that real owners actually use rather than made-up words.
Popular names come up a little more often than rare ones, but every spin is random. Choose Girl or Boy to see names that are mostly given to that sex; names that are used for both stay in the mix. Styles such as Food, Nature or Mythology narrow the list to names that fit the theme.
Tap a name to see how popular it is, whether it leans girl or boy, which breeds often have it and how it has changed over the years. Tap Listen to hear it, and Save to keep it in My list.
