Female cat names are limited only by your own imagination. Many people choose names for female cats that seem "soft," like the animal itself. Others may select a name that speaks to the origin of the type of cat. When selecting a name for your female
cat, remember that you will need to like the way it sounds when you call it out. Consider the appearance or personality of your cat, as well as how the name seems to flow. If you have small children you may want to pick a name that will be easy for them to pronounce.
Selecting a name can be difficult. You may want to enlist the help of family members and friends. And don't be afraid to "try out" a few names before making your final decision.
Does your cat think she's the head of the household? Perhaps a name like Queen or Sheba fits. Is she clever and courageous? Try Moxie. Many good cat names are drawn from the animal's physical appearance. Some obvious choices are Fluffy, Midnight, Socks, or Tiger. Misty or Smudge are appropriate choices for a gray cat, as Crystal or Blanco are for a white kitty.
The breed of cat you have may play a role in your name choice. Perhaps a clever name like Anna for your Siamese, after the character from the musical The King and I, or a simple name like Abby for your Abyssinian. You may also want to consider your family's heritage and name your cat accordingly. An Irish cat owner may want to curl up with a furry little Colleen or Erin.
There are many sources on the Internet for popular cat names. Depending on your preference, these lists can help you select a name or eliminate some possibilities. Some people like to choose "classic" names, and may want to select something from a list of popular names. Other people prefer to have unusual names for their cats and will generally steer away from anything considered too popular.
The possibilities for inspiration are limitless! Consider history, literature, popular culture, colors, destinations; the list goes on and on!
