Before bringing home a new cat, you\u2019ll have important decisions to make. One of the first is who will be your cat\u2019s veterinarian, but before you establish care for your pet, you\u2019ll need a name for their account.<\/p>\n

Choosing a cat name can be a daunting task, given how many options are out there. One way to narrow your choices is to stick with names that start with a single letter, such as N. Here are the most popular cat names that start with N, based on Rover\u2019s database of top cat names, plus some other amazing choices to consider.<\/p>\n

2. Nya<\/h3>\n

Given the popularity of Sex and the City, it\u2019s no surprise that the reboot of the show, And Just Like That, is also a hit with viewers. Cat names inspired by this TV series gained popularity in 2023 as well.<\/p>\n

Uses of the name Nya, inspired by the character Nya Wallace, increased by 5% this year. Interestingly, the names used for most of the original show\u2019s characters were down in 2023, except for Charlotte, which increased by 3%.<\/p>\n

3. Neil<\/h3>\n

Cat names inspired by the popular and critically acclaimed TV series The Bear remain favorites of kitty owners in 2023. The name Neil is the 7th most popular moniker taken from this show.<\/p>\n

Although uses of this name did decrease by 13% in 2023, the character played by real-life chef Matty Matheson still has plenty of namesake cats roaming the homes of America.\u00a0 With a new season of the show expected to drop in 2024, we can expect cat names from The Bear to remain in favor.<\/p>\n

4. Natalie<\/h3>\n

Female kittens can get their name inspired by a character from The Bear, too. Natalie, the name of Abby Elliot\u2019s character, is the 10th most popular name from the show.<\/p>\n

Uses of this name decreased by 23% in 2023; however, with so many other celebrities named Natalie, it\u2019s tough to know who\u2019s responsible for the drop. Natalie will have another chance at popularity when The Bear goes back into production early next year.<\/p>\n

5. Neptune<\/h3>\n

Out-of-this-world cat names trended up in 2023, including that of the blue planet Neptune. This name seems like it would fit a cool, beautiful cat.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also an excellent option for kitties with blue eyes or fur. Maybe a Russian Blue<\/a>? Uses of the name Neptune were up 33% in 2023 compared to the year before. It was the third most popular planet name, trailing Earth and Saturn.<\/p>\n
