What's a good name for a black cat?
I’ve been thinking about getting a black cat after graduation. I want to pick a black cat cuz I think they’re pretty cool. So might as well think of a name first rather than giving them one when I am actually carrying them home.
One of my friends has given me the name “Murphy” and I think that’s actually kinda cool, like 4 out of 5. I was thinking Inky, Pancake, and Filigraph (if the cat is striped). What do you think about the names? Are there any other cool names?
We named our black cat Alcatraz but it didn't stick, mainly because I started calling him Darkness. Cause you'd go into a dark room and accidentally sit on him. You had to learn to look for this darker spot in the dark. Our youngest child couldn't say darkness and what he said sounded like Dennis so now we call him Dennis.
Lmao I love the transition to Dennis
Is this how the human language evolve?
My cat is also named Dennis, though because he was a mischievous kitten and named after Dennis the Menace. Though I've had more than one person ask if he was named after Nedry in Jurassic Park...
Snowball.
Sunshine or Sunny.
OK snowball is actually a cool name. I’m stealing it to my list of potential black cat names.
It was the unofficial name of my black cat. (I inherited it from someone else, but that person was boring and called him Midnight. To me he was forever Snowball, though.)
Snowball is the name of the Simpsons' black cat.
(Technically it's Snowball II, but Snowball was also a black cat)
Binx!
I may be a weirdo, but I've always named cats after adopting. I like to get to know the cat a bit before deciding on a name. Shadow and Midnight are two that I considered for my black cat.

We had a black cat named Snowflake and a white cat named Sam Jackson.

Ours is named Frank Reynolds because he always looks haggard due to his long wispy hair. And I think it’s funny to give animals “human” names.
We do too. It's frickin hilarious. Our black cat is Dennis.
My black cat is named Ember!
God. So cute!!!

Our kids named their black kitten Toothless.
The kids named ours Luna.
Our cat is named Vada and her all black kitten is named Inkblot. Another we simply named spot for the tiny patch of white on her belly
I’m sorry, but she is just too cute.
She knows it too! That's easily one of the best spontaneous photos I've ever taken

I had a black cat when I was a kid and his name was Spooky. I think if I ever have another male black cat, I'd name him Nox, or for a female, Nyx.

I like human names for animals. George. Greg. Grisham. Gertrude. Gunther. Etc.
There are other letters too
All our cats have each had like 5 names, and their official names are only on paperwork
And when we're admonishing them lmao
Otherwise they're all like, baby, chubby cat, snugly cat, good girl, naughty cat, silly cat, etc etc

My cat has a name but I never use it. It's just a cat so I call it cat. Do cats even learn their names like dogs do?
It's suggested that cats know their name but can choose to ignore it, showing they are smarter than dogs possibly.
