The distinguished Persian cat isn’t just popular on the show ring, they also make very loving and loyal pets. Most Persian cats are loyal and friendly, enjoying the company and attention of their human owners. They love to be cuddled and gently groomed, and their cute characteristics make great inspiration for their names. From classic, regal and formal names to retro, adorable and unique ideas, we have the right name for any perfect Persian.
Naming Your Persian Cat
Choosing a name for any new pet is fun, but it’s important to get it right. After all, just like your gorgeous new Persian cat or kitten, the name you decide on will be for life! You may have a name in mind for your new pet before you even collect him or her. However, in many cases, your cat’s looks or personality will often choose their name for you!
You might want to name your Persian kitten after your favorite film star, a singer, a family member, or even your best friend. Perhaps you’re inspired by your cat’s looks or their eyes? Maybe you like the idea of a name that reflects your Persian cat’s heritage.
Try to choose a Persian kitten name that you’re comfortable with and that is easy for your pet to learn. Short names often work best for this reason. However, don’t be afraid to choose a longer name if you find one you like, and perhaps shorten it to a nickname that your new Persian playmate can quickly learn and respond to.

Grey Persian Cat Names
Sometimes, the right name will just “click”. For example, when I was a child, our family was “adopted” by a stray Persian cat who just turned up on our doorstep one day. He was a solid grey Persian with the most gorgeous two-toned eyes. Right away, I knew he just had to be called Smokey.
