Cat names are like human names. When people name their children, some go with the names that are most popular at that time, while some go with names that are more original. For example, the name Jennifer and the name Kayla were very popular names. This often resulted in people having three girls named Jennifer and four girls named Kayla in their class. The same is true with cats. Some people choose the most common cat names of the time and some choose to go with a more original name. If you are planning to adopt a cat, you should know the most popular cat names. If you want your Tabby cat to have one of the most popular names, you can choose one on the list.
