Grey Cat Names

The thing about grey cats is that there are so many shades of grey and in fact, may cat fanciers call the color "blue."

There are only a few cats in origin or breed that are only grey, but the rest can come in light, medium, dark grey, and combinations of those colors ranging from what is called "solid blue" to "blue smoke" which is a solid blue (grey) cat but the roots of the hairs are distinctly white.

So what do we name a beautiful, feline that is not quite black, not quite a tabby grey, and maybe only a hint past white? Some are big and fluffy, others are small and smooth, so a name has to be found that fits a wide range of felines.

Well, hopefully the list on this page will help your search, and you'll end up with a name for your furry companion that is imaginative, yet distinctive, and perfect for your pet. We tried to come up with as many artistic, good, and inventive names as possible for cats that are grey (blue), and the ideas and suggestions here will apply to any gender - boy and girl cats.

As you read though and view the free kitty names, you'll find they have a lot of personality; some are playful and full of character, while others are general favorite day to day names - the variety being similar to all the different loving people whose lives have changed from the recent adoption of a stray, rescued or newly born kitten.

Interestingly enough, the names for your new friend are derived not only from objects that are grey, but also from different names and meanings for the color grey.

* Asterisk means that Grey Cat Name was sent in with a picture or neat story to go with it as listed here:
* Al: I came across your website when I got my new kitten and was trying to come up with a name for him. The name Al came to me the next day. He's the color of aluminum and the periodic symbol for aluminum is Al (I'm an engineer and kinda dorky). When I came back on your site I saw that you had Aluminum listed as a name (I had missed it before) but I think Al is funnier. Rachel
* Dove: Yesterday I saw a a beautiful grey 7 month old female cat that I fell in love with. She never fought to be held, kissed or "mauled." My kind of kitty! I thought you might like add her name to the list for grey cats. Her name was "Dove" for her grey fur and short for "lovey-dove" because she is so affectionate. Sure did suit her! Laurie
* Eidolon: My husband and I just adopted a loving grey kitten. We've decided to name him Eidolon. According to Wikipedia an eidolon is an image, idol, double, apparition, phantom, or ghost. It is said to be the astral double of a living being; a phantom-double of the human form; a shade after death, before its disintegration. The phantom can appear under certain conditions to survivors of the deceased. Mellenie
* Feldspar: I had a kitten and I named him Feldspar. May he rest in peace. A Feldspar is a gemstone that gives a flash of light. Moonstone was his first name before I changed it to Feldspar. This came to me for that powdery glowing white sheen that grey cats give off. Brenda
* Freya: I’m brainstorming names for a new Russian Blue and came across your site. Thanks for it. Freya is the Norse Goddess whose chariot was pulled by gray cats. Regards, Jennifer
* Graymar: I stumbled upon your site while 'searching' for a name for our new grey kitty, who by the way was abandoned and found in our driveway last week. Graymar was a name I had for a cat many years ago, and thought of it while looking at the names you had currently. We have chosen Gracie for our new kitty. It fits her purr-fectly! Lisa Harper
