Your Tortie cat deserves a name as unique as their personality, and giving them a name is a perfect chance to reflect that. There are so many names to choose from, though, and it can be hard to know where to start.

Fortunately, we’ve done the searching for you! Here are lists of female names, male names, and cute and clever names. With these suggestions, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. Let’s get started!

How to Name Your Tortie Cat

When choosing the right name for your cat, it’s important not to rush it. You may want to get to know your cat’s personality before giving them a name to suit it. You can choose a name you like from these lists, or you can think of one on your own. Consider your favorite movies, books, characters, video games, or foods. Cat names can be anything that you like!

Remember that your cat will have this name forever, though, so keep it simple. Something no more than three syllables (two are ideal) will ensure that your cat will be able to distinguish their name when you say it. The name also shouldn’t sound close to a command, like “no” or “off.”

If you decide on a name and then realize a few days later that it’s not a good fit, you can change it to something more appropriate. However, it’s not recommended to do this more than once or twice. Once your cat gets used to their name, it should be the one that they keep. Most importantly, choose a name that you like!

Female Tortie Cat Names

Any of these feminine cat names will work for your Tortie girl cat. In fact, most Tortie cats are girls! Female cats can be both black and orange together, producing a Tortie’s trademark coloring. Male cats can usually only be either black or orange. In rare exceptions of genetic mutations, though, Torties can be male, so be sure to check out the male Tortie names list too.
