How to choose a name that fits your cat
Big ears can inspire a joke, but they do not dictate the name—or identify a breed by themselves. The Devon Rex is one documented example of a cat with large, low-set ears and an impish or pixie-like appearance, while the Oriental is described as having strikingly large, broad-based ears that continue the wedge-shaped lines of its head. See TICA’s Devon Rex profile and CFA’s Oriental profile.
For a Devon Rex, TICA also describes an active, playful, people-oriented temperament and notes that puzzle and interactive toys can keep these cats occupied. That may spark ideas such as Zoom or Rascal, but any individual cat may have a different personality; use your own observations as the guide. TICA’s breed profile offers more detail.
