If you are inspired by an animated cat character - of which there are plenty to choose from - those names can also be an inspiration too. Your kids will love it if you name your cat Tom or Sylvester, which are popular animated cats.
You may also choose to name your cat after a favorite celebrity of yours. That's also very common. At the end of the day, it is up to your imagination.
Help Choosing The Right Name

How important is your cat in the household? If you consider your cat as a part of your family, then naming your cat using a human/person’s name, works best. Choose a girl name in case your cat is a female or a boy name if your cat is a male.
If your cat is super cute (which they all are!), you can also choose a cute little name from the list given above.
If you’re a food lover, you can also name your cat after a favorite food of yours. We have also included a list of popular food-inspired cat names in the list above. Names like ‘pancake’, ‘muffin’ are pretty popular among cat owners. Choose a name that best suits your furry friend.
Another popular choice would be to name your furry friend after flowers - such as Lily (after the brown Peruvian lily) or other brown colored flower names like Kangaroo paws or Cosmos (after the chocolate cosmos flower). It is just the perfect gift you can give your cat, who is equally pretty to look at.
Consider naming your brown-coated cat based upon his/her personality and characteristics. His/her temperament, friendliness, desire to be petted etc., are some of the factors that should be kept in mind before naming your cat.
