Italian cat names

Post Reply New Topic

This is a very, very random question, but I thought I would ask it since there must be someone here who is Italian by origin and/or lives in Italy.

What are the most common names to give to a cat in Italy? I know that in Russian, the traditional names for a cat are Vaska (Vasily) or Murka, but I have no idea about similar names in Italian. I and my co-author needs this for our writing - frankly, the section of the story I am working on at the moment is partly stuck because there is no name to give to my character's cat (I know it might sound odd but that's how it is ).

I would very much appreciate it if someone could help with this.

Figuro, Pluto, Binito, Fran, Leo, Bono, Franscesca. Ones I've heard. That's all I know.

My neighbors who vacation to Italy all the time and wish they could live there have left me in charge of their kitties during their voyages. Italian names: Bruno and Simone. They just added Serephina to the bunch. Probably not common names, but Italian cats none the less.

When I was a teenager, I had a male cat named Sipriano.

A fellow member of the Siamese site a visit has a cat named Valentino.

My cats have German and Greek derived names.

If you want Roman names, how about Agrippina, Claudia, Octavia, Julia, Servilia? There was a children's story about a cat that lived in the Colosseum and was the queen of all the Roman cats but I can't remember the name of the book or the cat's name. You could probably google it under Rome-Cats-Colosseum-children's books.
