Flowers are a beautiful addition to any home or yard. They bring a pop of color and livelihood into our homes, and our pets can do the same. If you’re welcoming a brand-new kitten into your home this year and want to name it after flowers, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to find our exhaustive list of the best flower names for your cat. How to Name Your Cat Before we delve into the best floral-themed names for your new kitten, let’s talk a bit about how to choose the right one. Our best piece of advice is to not rush into picking a name. We know you want to get a name picked out right away, but it’s best to wait until you know you’ve picked the perfect name than rush into selecting one and hating it down the road. You might consider living with your kitten for a few days or weeks before settling on a name, too. That way, you can get a sense of what their personality will be like and can base your name selection on their characteristics. A sweet kitten who loves snuggles would be adorable with the name Sweet Pea, for example. Easy-to-say names are best, not only for your sake but for your cats too. If the name is too long or complicated, your kitty could get confused when you’re trying to summon it. Don’t pick a name that you’re going to regret telling people down the line. If you’ve picked a name that borders on inappropriate, you might be embarrassed when you have to call the vet to make an appointment for them. Now that you have some basic name selection guidelines, let’s take a look at the best flower names for your new addition.
