150 Beautiful Burmese Cat Names
We’ve compiled a gargantuan list of Burmese cat names to give you some ideas and get those creative juices flowing.
There is surely a name on the list that will fit everyone’s tastes.
The Burmese cat breed is truly unique.
Unlike some other cat breeds, these cat’s coat is solid and uniform across their body.
This distinctive coat pattern can lead to some very interesting names!
However, because these cats look so different from many other cats, sometimes thinking of a name can be somewhat difficult.
Furthermore, you average list of cat names just isn’t going to cut it with this unique breed.
Naming Your Burmese Cat
After choosing your new kitten or rescue an adult cat, the first order of business is to think of a name for them.
This, often times, is harder than it sounds.
I know the difficulty firsthand.
Some years ago I rescued a kitten, but despite our efforts, my family and I just could not agree on a name.
Instead, we began referring to my new kitten as “little bit” until we could decide on a name.
Fast forward to almost five years later, and my cat is still being called “little bit”. (And she isn’t very little anymore!)
As you can see, choosing a name can be very difficult.

Best Burmese Cat Names
I don’t think you can truthfully point out any Burmese kitten names that are the “best”.
It all depends on the kitten and what you particularly like, as well as what names fit your cat even if only in appearance.
Naming your cat can sometimes require a lot of thinking and debating before you finally pick the perfect name.
However, I think it is important not to stress too much about finding that one perfect name.
Whatever name you decide for your cat is a good name.
Try to have fun and enjoy talking about different names with your family and friends!
One thing that is very important though is to actually pick a name – don’t be like me and procrastinate until your kitten has long grown into an actual cat!

Our two Burmese are called Craw and Bobo after two of the evil villians of Kaos in Get Smart – it suits them very well
My lovely boy is called Ziggy (along with “The Zigster” and “Mr Ziggle, the cat from the Moon” – like Mr Squiggle on TV – and “Ziggly Wiggly”). I always find it amusing the way alot of us mess around and have other adaptions to the actual name we choose for our pets! His parents had names from the TV series “The Vikings” so I started looking at Viking/Germanic type names online. I came across “Sigge” which made me immediately think “Ziggy”. And then I thought of “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” (old David Bowie album) So it became Ziggy Stardust in my mind, but of course he gets Ziggy!
I named my cat Ziggy Stardust after the song by David Bowie too! I had been waiting to use it for a long time, and then I rescued a baby black cat who fit the name. However everyone thinks it’s after Ziggy Marley, lol, but that is ok too! That was a year ago, and now he is all grown up and lives with my in laws. He’s very playful.
Recently within the past week we’ve had a stray Burmese cat(or looks Burmese at least) come to us, and now he’s staying and we’re keeping him. He’s been a stray for a few years because we’ve seen him years ago,and his fur is full of dreadlocks (but we’re taking care of them!)
Anyway, we named him Stray Charles, after Ray Charles. He seems to answer to it, or Charlie. He’s absolutely beautiful, and very friendly. He likes to follow us around and nap near us or on our feet. We just adore him.
My Champagne girl is Sasha and her sister, who is Platinum, is Sheba. Burmese are the most loving cats with the best personalities.
Mine is not actually burmese but is still brown (And White).
I don’t know her breed though…
We call her Wink
I have three cats one boy and two girls i have a ginger, burmese and a abisinin, there names are:
-ginger bread
-Coco bean
-nefertari
They are the best of friends and ginger and nefertari don’t mind dogs!
Our sable boy was named Rikki
From the Rudyard Kipling story “Jungle Book” Rikki Tikki Tarvy was the little mongoose who killed the cobra and saved the humans (story was in Burma)
Our brown Burmese are called Eric and Lulu Belle. They are 18 years old and still amazing. We love them to bits.
My Burmese champagne cat name Bodhi, just passed away at 16 yrs. We also had a brown named Taifu. These cats are from Burma, the protectors of temples. Very loyal, loving, smart, a Burmese cat is espicial.
we ‘inherited’ our Burmese along with his name, Kit, bit boring, so in honour of the totally tasty chocolate/biscuit bar, he is often called Kitkat. He also answers to Kitsie, as well as nutcase (when he has one of his ‘I’m being chased by demons’ freakouts) and plain Ki-i-i-t! when he leaps onto me in the middle of the night…
Kit is brown with white front and paws and is the most delightful cat I’ve ever met.
My beloved Burmese cat was called Arabella. She just passed away and I am getting a new kitten and tempted to call her the same…..but we shall see. I love Burmese cats, they are like angels and fantastically awesome and beautiful.
I have a Cocopuff. You guessed it, she’s a beautiful sable. Spoiled as can be. And thinks she’s still a kitten at 19 years old.
Our 2 Burmese have passed away, our blue boy Monty at 18, and our chocolate girl Elsa at 16. Elsa was named after Elsa the lioness as she was so little she needed a strong name. She certainly grew into it. We’re getting 2 more soon, and are thinking Henry and either Cilla or Isla.
My first Lilac boy was
Sherpa he climbed doors so it seemed to fit.
Cleopatra was my chocolate girl
Zanzibar/Zanzi brown boy for the spice island and place of Freddie Mercury’s birth
Delilah my brown girl
My new brown girl is Freya I just knew she was a Freya. The Queen of the Norse gods
Brown/black Burmese came out of the woods behind my house. Going for neutering Friday, 7/31/20. Chasing my beloved Norwegian Forrest Cat out of the yard. A friendly guy, who
wants a home.
Named him Kitt in honor of Ertha. He is very vocal!
Love the name…love Eartha Kitt too!
For our Lilac Burmese, we chose the name Moscato…with the nick name ‘Mossy’.
Moscato is a white wine which has hints of Lilac (flowers). It also happens to have the word ‘cat’ in the name (from muscat grapes:)
‘Muscat’ is a good name too!
We also have a Chocolate Burmese called Latte.
My Sable male Burmese was named Mye Tye and my Champagne male was Mr B he lived to be 19yrs old. Both were fantastic and dog like.
