My kitten's name is Megan. I chose the name because it is sweet, but not too cutesy like "Fluffy". My adopted cat is called Sully, which can also be considered a human name. An acquaintence of mine reckons giving cats human names is stupid. I think giving cats/pets human names is fine. I have no problem with pet names ("Sooty" and "Patch", for example) either.

What do you think of giving human names to cats? Have you given your cats human names? Have you not? Why/why not?

Well our cat is called Cinderella mainly because she's my daughters and she chose it but she does suit it now, well Cinderella had 4 kittens on Halloween and we've called them Crookshanks, Albus, Severus and Minerva. We always said if she had a Ginger kitten we'd call it Crookshanks after Hermione's cat in Harry Potter and with them being Halloween kittens it made sense to carry on the Harry Potter theme. I think as long as you don't mind being called from the Vets waiting room by the cats name then its fine. Although i did blush the first time the Vet shouted Cinderella

i think its up to the owner, it wouldnt be much fun if we all chose the same names, ,,

I also think it's up to the owner, and wouldn't call any names silly.
Our kittens are Rocky and Sapphire but we thought of lots of different names.
We also liked Bella, Leah, Phoenix, Chili and Pepper - which is a mixture.

I have pretty much gone with what suits the animal rather than a 'people' or 'pet' name.

The spaniel is Max... an 'either or' type name, the lab came with the name Poppy and she was 5.

Mabel is an old fashioned people name, not sure how Mabel ended up with it, mostly cos it rhymed with 'table' I think, she was sat on one at the time.

Indy is after Indiana Jones, because he's handsome and adventurous and gets into weird situations.

Misha is the Russian pet form of Michael and he is named after a lynx companion I have in an online game *blush*

A few of mine have 'people' names:

Sam, Ben, Joe, George, Harry, Lucy and there was my Suzie, RIP

but I also have Zeta, Gwyngala, Honey and BB (used to be Baby!) - plus I had my beloved Gypsy, RIP.

I think whatever the name, as long as it suits the cat, anything goes!!

No, I think it's OK - I have a cats called, Jack, Billy and Molly. Also my dog is called Taylor, which is a human's name.. My rabbit is called Zane too

My sister also has a cat called Ronald which I think is really cute and my mum has cats called Ruby and Molly
