About this list
Hairless cat names are perfect for any hairless breed, including Sphynx, Bambino, Devon Rex, and Donskoy.
Calvin is an obvious contender for a male cat, with the fitting meaning of "bald", as are bald cat names like Archibald, Theobald, and Baldwin.
Famously bald celebrities may bring inspiration, like Terry Crews, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Vin Diesel. Hairless cats may also bring to mind characters such as Dobby, Gollum, or Yoda.
For a Sphynx cat, an Egyptian cat name would be fitting, such as Cleopatra, Ramses, and Osiris. Other hairless breeds are Russian, such as the Donskoy breed, opening up possibilities such as Olga, Sveta, Igor, and Viktor.
There are a multitude of silly names fitting for hairless cats, from the more literal Buzz or Gillette and Venus (like the razor brands), to ironic choices like Harry or Harriet. Other options include Velvet, Butch, and Pinky.
Here's our full collection of names for hairless cats.
