Top Cat Names of 2017 – Find Cat Names

by ·

 Find Cat Names (findcatnames.com), a leading resource for finding the perfect name for your cat, is excited to announce the top cat names of 2017 and share surprising trends from the year.

The ’90s are seeing a resurgence in pop culture, and this trend has now extended to cat names with characters from the 1994 animated film The Lion King topping the charts.

Simba, the movie’s main character, is number one on the list of top male cat names in 2017. For the female cat names, Nala, the friend and eventual wife of Simba, finished as the top choice of the year.

That wasn’t the only surprise this year. The name Milo, typically considered a popular dog name, skyrocketed to the number two spot on the list of top male cat names.

The results are based on the search selections of the 2.2 million new cat owners who used the site so far this year. An infographic of the most popular names is available findcatnames.com/top-cat-names.
