Siamese Cat Names

One of my friends was looking for Siamese cat names and asked me if I had any ideas. So I did some research and found a number of literary Siamese and other famous Siamese cats. I’ve included their names in the list below. I’ve also included other names as well.

The obvious names are derived from the Siamese appearance (the color of their coat and eyes, for example). The more exotic names are inspired by oriental names and places.

Of course, the names for Siamese cats listed here are only suggestions. You should choose a name you love and a name your cat responds to. You will find inspiration everywhere: literary works, artists, mythological creatures, just to name a few sources.

Here are a few Siamese kitten name ideas.
