Country Cat Names

  1. Junior

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "young"

    • Description:

      The line should end with Junior Soprano. While most would expect this to be a nickname rather than an actual given name, Junior has always ranked in the US Top 1000, hitting its peak in 1925 at Number 116.
  2. Shenandoah

    • Origin:

      Native American place-name

    • Description:

      While some sources assign the place-name the romantic meaning "beautiful daughter of the stars," the Virginia region itself says the name is of uncertain Native American origin with many possible but no definitive meaning. No matter: Shenandoah is a lovely name that's rare but usable.
  3. Louisiana

    • Origin:

      French place-name

    • Description:

      Louisiana is a geographic spin on the Louise theme. Pretty, if a bit of a syllable overload. Short form Lou or Lulu lightens it.
  4. Jojo

    • Origin:

      English, diminutive of Jo-beginning names

    • Description:

      Sprightly and engaging nickname for human, full name for pet. Author Jojo Moyes and dancer/singer Jojo Sliwa have propelled the name into the public eye.
  5. Champ

    • Origin:

      English word name

    • Meaning:

      "champion"

    • Description:

      Though it sounds like a modern invention, Champ actually has a long history as a first name. It hit the Top 1000 several times just before and after the turn of the 20th Century.
  6. Pistol

    • Origin:

      Word name

    • Description:

      Pistol is one of the new names that entered the lexicon in the US in 2013, when it was given to nine babies of each gender, though last year the trend had subsided and it was given to zero babies. Call it an equal-opportunity badass baby name with an unfortunately violent image.
  7. Bayou

    • Origin:

      Nature name

    • Description:

      A slow and sultry southern choice that's definitely cool for babies of either gender.
  8. Chick

    • Description:

      Chick is an uncommon masculine name that originated as an English nickname for someone with chicken-like features or mannerisms, or alternatively as a term of endearment meaning 'young child.' As a formal given name, Chick has historically been rare, sometimes used as a diminutive for Charles or other names starting with 'Ch.' In the early-to-mid 20th century, it gained some recognition through notable bearers like jazz musician Chick Webb and basketball player Chick Hearn. The name carries a distinctive vintage Americana quality, evoking the casual, colloquial spirit of mid-century America. In contemporary usage, Chick remains exceedingly rare as a legal given name, though it persists as an occasional nickname. Its brevity and friendly informality give it a casual, approachable character.

  9. Bubba

    • Origin:

      American nickname

    • Description:

      The original southern Good Ol' Boy.
