They are a great fit if you want a name that stands out at the vet, on social media, or around the house.

Male cat names are the names owners give to their tomcats, often based on looks, personality, or family tradition. Many X names trace back to ancient Greece, and “Xerxes” honors a Persian king who ruled one of the largest empires of his time.
