Posh Cat Names

[MrsLlewelynBowen]

I was just having a conversation with a friend about cat names. I recently got a little kitten which we've named Goose, but now decided his name is Lord Goosington-Smythe, my other cat Luna, whose nickname is Pudding, is called Lady Puddington-Smythe. My friend also named her cat something equally as silly and double-barrelled.

Does anyone else give their cats a posh name? Or a ridiculously over the top nickname?

I don't.

Well you did ask .

Ours have titles and surnames. And extra long main names.

No all our cats have had simple girls names that wouldn't have been out of place in our DDs classes.

Dogs are named after colours

Mine just have middle names. I guess we're not that posh though.
I made the mistake of introducing my kitten on Facebook as Miss Maude when we first got her and now one of my colleagues calls her Miss Maud every time he asks about her. He's not even being ironic..

Dorothea Marguerite + my double barrelled surname.

It started off as maggie (rescue cat - they named her) and morphed over the years!

Our oldest one does because he is very refined. The middle one just has one name though in itself a bit upmarket maybe and the youngest got the only name we could cope with when she turned out not to be a boy

No cats here due to allergies but our recently departed guinea pig boar was known as Sir Geoffrey. He was absolutely lovely: fabulous temperament and exquisite manners (for a cavy!).

Bertie became Bertram Bengal when naughty.

Pascal.. he is a lord .. but not officially only in our home .

Not really .... but some years ago when I met our new next door neighbours, one of them said "now I know I'm in Tunbridge Wells - there's a cat called Cordelia on one side and Aoife on the other".

Both cats nicknames gradually morphed into grander titles; the regal Master Stewart of Wooington, and the dastardly Squeaker von Boo.

We have an Archie and Angus and often when one appears we will greet them with well hello Mr Archie McFarchie or Mr Angus Bejangus 😀

I was talking to someone who’s cat was called Mr Berkeley, how cute is that.

Cheddar and Magic's middle name is Adeodatus

Our teenage hood cat decided his middle name was Alyousius

My two littermate sister cats were Cassandra and Zieglinda.(Cassie and Ziggy).
We had seen Wagner's Ring Cycle just before we adopted them...we're not posh😂😂

We have Bobbi Bobbington and Silky Silkington. Annoyingly neither knows their own name yet.

I have a pudding too OP

grumpy - I think Sybil deserves to be an aristocat.

How about: Lady Sybil Grumpington-Cholmondeley?

Leroy RoRoBerry PinklePurr.

Not so much aristocratic - more Joan Greenwood playing Sibella. So just Sybil will do nicely

We did actually rename her though. Her Battersea name was Bluebell - that certainly wouldn't do.

Ha ha. There's a cat named Portia on my street, that's probably the poshest name I've come across.

I want Portias surname to be Devereux for some reason.

Or Van Arkal.

@YesItsMeIDontCare Leroy is my favourite cat on MN!

I had Princess Alfreda, Duchess of the Republic of Cyprus
