Meow! These Were the 100 Most Popular Cat Names of 2018

Coming up with a name for your new furry cat friend is one of the most fun parts of adopting a pet (for me, it was a way to channel awful cat puns to pay homage to one of my favorite movies, Dirty Dancing; but no, Jennipurr Grey and Catrick Swayze have not mastered the famous "Time of My Life" lift). If you're looking for a great name for your kitten that doesn't require too much creative thought, take a page out of the book of cat owners who named their kitties some of the following 100 most popular cat names this past year, compiled from Rover.com's user database (and if you're more of a puppy person, check out the most popular dog names of 2018).
