Does the name have to end with the letter Y?
No. If what matters most is the sound, consider spellings that end in ie or i as well. Catster’s introduction notes that these can produce a y-like ending, and a separate Cats.com naming list likewise covers names ending in y or ie. [Cats.com, June 27, 2024]
Decide which constraint matters to you before narrowing the list: a literal final letter y, a final “ee” sound, or a particular meaning. If you want both the sound and the spelling, the names above meet the literal-letter preference.
How to choose from the list
- Say it naturally. Try the name aloud in the tone you would use at home. A name that feels comfortable to say is often easier for you to keep using.
- Pick the association you like. Daisy, Lily, and Poppy evoke flowers; Melody suggests music; Sunny suggests sunshine. Treat these as associations, not descriptions of the cat’s future temperament.
- Consider the spelling you will use. Names such as Zoey and Joey have familiar alternate spellings, while less common options such as Elody or Romilly may need spelling out.
- Use the meaning as a tiebreaker. Name-list meanings can vary by source and tradition, particularly for names with multiple origins. A sound you enjoy is a sound reason to choose a name.
Are Y-ending cat names popular?
The Cat Fanciers’ Association’s July 29, 2015 post gives historical rankings based on 2014 registration statistics, not a current ranking of all cats. Its top eight registered names were Coco, Bella, Luna, Daisy, Alice, Lily, Candy, and Lucky. Its separate top ten for a 30-year period were Gizmo, Samantha, Tiffany, Sasha, Princess, Cleopatra, Jasmine, Angel, Chloe, and Sabrina. The post supplies no percentages or sample sizes, so these lists show reported rankings only, not how common any name is today. [Cat Fanciers’ Association, July 29, 2015]
The CFA also wrote: “Names that end in ly such as Daisy, Candy, Chloe and Lucky are cute and cuddly and demonstrate the personal affinity we have for our cats.” That is the association’s editorial observation, not a measured finding about how cats respond to names.
