Below are 125 ideas grouped by inspiration. The categories distinguish English-inspired names from Russian vocabulary and personal names, so a theme is not mistaken for a literal translation.
What makes a name feel right for a Russian Blue?
The breed’s defining look is a short, dense blue coat tipped with silver and green eyes. The International Cat Association (TICA) also describes Russian Blues as intelligent, playful, and affectionate with their families, while often reserved with strangers. Those traits offer several naming directions, but they do not mean every cat will share the same personality. TICA’s Russian Blue breed profile and the Cat Fanciers’ Association breed profile describe the breed’s appearance and temperament.

Russian and northern place-inspired names
TICA notes that Russian Blues are also known as Archangel cats, connecting the nickname to Arkhangelsk, a Russian port on the White Sea. These place references suggest geography or breed history; they are not all Russian words for a cat or its appearance. TICA’s 2018 breed introduction provides that historical connection.

Russian words and Russian personal names
Russian has distinct basic terms for different shades of blue. Wiktionary lists голубо́й (golubój) for light blue and си́ний (sínij) for darker blue; neither is a universal one-word equivalent for every use of English “blue.” Wiktionary’s entry for голубой explains the distinction. The list also includes a few vocabulary words with dictionary glosses: луна́ (luná) means “moon,” звезда́ (zvezdá) means “star,” and зелёный (zeljónyj) means “green.” These are word meanings, not evidence that the words are conventional pet names. See Wiktionary’s Russian Swadesh list.

How to choose from the list
Try saying a short list aloud in the same tone you would use to call your cat. A name that is easy for you to pronounce and distinguish is often more practical than one chosen only for a hidden meaning. If you want a literal Russian word, check its spelling, stress, transliteration, and grammatical form with a reliable Russian-language dictionary or fluent speaker; transliterations can vary. For a personal name or place reference, choose it for its sound or connection rather than assuming an unverified etymology.
