The best names for Maine Coons - boy and girl

Maine Coons are recognized as the largest domestic cats on the planet. Their owners take pride in the outstanding appearance of their pets. However, acquiring such an impressive-sized fluffy is half the battle.

The pet still needs to come up with the most suitable name. To do this, it is useful to observe the behavior of the cat, find out the history of the breed and familiarize yourself with detailed recommendations for choosing a nickname for the Maine Coon.

General recommendations for choosing a name

Maine Coon cats are mainly bred by professional breeders. That is why kittens from nurseries already have nicknames.

The new owners can leave the baby the name he received at birth. They also have the right to choose a new name for the cat. Perhaps, in their opinion, it is the one that will suit the pet best.

When choosing a nickname for your Maine Coon, it is better to adhere to the following recommendations:

• It is desirable that the cat’s name include hissing sounds, since mustachioed pets respond very well to them;
• the nickname should consist of a small number of syllables to make it easier for the cat to remember it;
• A kitten should be named according to its gender only when its gender has been accurately determined. If the female, for example, already responds to the name that was intended for the male, there is no need to change the nickname. Feline scientists believe that this can negatively affect the cat’s character;
• The name for a Maine Coon can reflect not only its color, but also its size. After all, cats of this breed are larger in size than all their domestic relatives and even some dogs. The following names are perfect for huge Maine Coons: Atlas, Bogatyr, Giant, Big Man, Hercules, Giant, Gulliver, Big Man, Strong Man, Titan;
• You can choose a suitable name for your pet if you look closely at its character and habits;
• Maine Coons are native cats that first appeared in North America. When choosing a name for such a pet, you can refer to the history of the origin of the breed and give it a nickname with the names of cities or states of the United States. For example: Alabama, Arizona, Boston, Vegas, Vermont, Dakota, Dallas, Delaware, Denver, Juneau, Kansas, Madison, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Utah and the like;
• for a cat of this breed you can find some rare name, as well as a nickname that indicates, for example, the hobbies of its owner.

This is interesting! According to the observations of breeders and experienced owners, Maine Coons with the names “Cat” or “Cat” often have complex characters. Unlike their relatives with other nicknames, such animals are more touchy, withdrawn, and jealous. In addition, they become more attached to their owners and have a very difficult time being separated from them.

Foreign nicknames

Foreign, English-language names for cats are also worthy of attention:

• Bagheera is Mowgli's wise mentor.
• Caesar - "Wool Emperor".
• Casper is a cute ghost name for a white kitten.

Choosing a nickname based on pedigree

Maine Coons, like other purebred cats, receive their nicknames in nurseries according to certain rules. Babies from a particular litter receive names starting with the same letter, which corresponds to the serial number of their mother cat's litter.

For example, the nickname of the mother cat is Beatrice. This means that the children from her first litter will be named with names starting with the letter B, from the second - with E, from the third - with A, etc.

Often the official names of Maine Coon kittens turn out to be too long and inconvenient for use in everyday life. But such a nickname can be shortened, then it will be easier for the cat to remember it.

The full name will be used only to identify the animal at competitions and exhibitions, as well as in breeding.
