Themed names are fun. Just admit it. Having a singular pet is exciting enough to find a clever name for, but what if you up the numbers? Naming a pair of kitties can be way more adventurous than only one!
If you have two adorable little kitties that are siblings, you might want a cute little name set for them both. Lucky for you—there are tons of options. But if you can’t come up with any and need some inspiration, we’re here to help out.
Only you can ultimately decide how to name your pair of kittens. But no worries, we have you covered. You might wonder where to even start. Perhaps you’ve already scoured a million different name lists, and you can’t make up your mind.
Or maybe there’s a name sitting in the back of your head that you want to use but can’t figure out if it’s the right time. Here are a few different ways you can pick out the name that you will call these precious little felines for the rest of your life.

Use a Favorite Movie or TV Show
Can you go wrong if you pick character names you love so much? We think not. There are tons to choose from, too. Brothers, sisters, best friends, inseparable pairs—you name it.
Get Creative
You can make up quite a fine selection of names, drawing up some silly, serious, or sentimental inspiration. Whether you like a good play on words or want to name your twin kitties after a pairing of some kind—the raw material for names is endless!
Choose Sounds You Enjoy
Let’s face it—some names are flat-out fun to say. If you just like how a couple of names roll off the tongue, you’re free to use whatever strikes your fancy.
Consider Personality
You can try to pick themed names all you wish, but sometimes personalities just have to sit. If your little kitty duo reminds you of a specific couple of people, they might really slam your search and make it easy.
Character-Inspired Names for Your Cats
Some of the best inspiration we can think of comes from shows and movies. There’s just something about how you can connect with a character that makes it so personal. And even if you don’t so much connect with a character, when you think of twins, many different books and movies might come to your head.
