When it comes to thinking of names for your pets, so many obstacles can come in the way. Like disagreements with another pet parent, lack of originality in the presented choices or just having so many alternatives that to choose one doesn’t seem like a viable option.
That’s why looking up unique and cute pet names online can be your salvation in this matter. It doesn’t matter what type of pet you’re in the process of naming, having inspiration can only help you pick out or help come up with your own, personalized name.
In this list, you’ll find knightly, both cute and funny pet names like Sir Meows A Lot, ones that pay homage to characters like Yoda, Frodo and Sam, Ghost from Game Of Thrones, and of course, Scooby, from Scooby-Doo.
Many of these can sound like cute puppy names, but nothing can hold you back from naming your cat “Neo”. The names often come from the personal character and physical traits of the animal anyway. So when your cat stares into a corner, you know there’s Agent Smith somewhere in there.
There might be many to choose from, but allow these cute names to inspire creativity and help you pick out the most unique pet name for your awesome animal. Let us know in the comments if there are any names we missed!

I knew 2 white cats, one named Perogi and the other one named SnotBall. Her name was supposed to be Snowball, but became SnotBall for unknown reasons

My personal favorites are Choco(late), Hazel, Vanilla, Mocha, Amber, Caramel, etc. And I like Luna & Sol for a male and female pet. Plus, puns are always fun :)
