Plus, it sounds similar to your cat's fur color. Start calling her Gracie a few times and see if your female gray cat agrees. If you get a positive response, you're on to a winner!

4. Cinderella: a gray cat name worthy of your feline princess

Since cinder is gray and your cat is a true princess - Cinderella is definitely a match. The beloved fairy-tale heroine name has served as good inspiration for cat owners all over the world.

5. Ashley: a perfect name for both male and female gray cats

If you are looking for a name that hints at the lovely hue your cat's fur sports regardless of season or lighting, Ashley has the chromatic undertones you are looking for.

7. Dusty: an endearing name for gray cats of all shades

9. Lloyd: a cat name that means gray in Welsh

Who says you can't borrow your gray cat name from another language? If going straight for "Gray" is a bit too much on the nose, why not choose the Welsh version of the color. Lloyd is a great name. It's short and easy to say. Plus the meaning behind it is a cool subtle nod to your cat's stunning looks.

10. Rain: a cute gray cat name for both male and female kittens

Your cat doesn't have to be permanently in a gloomy mood for this name to make sense to a new cat owner. More than the meteorological phenomenon itself, it's actually this meaning many cat owners have in mind when choosing it for their kittens.

The fact that your cat's coat resembles the gloomy skies on a rainy day is just an added bonus. Plus, you don't have to stick to the normal spelling of rain either. Why not turn Rain into Rayne or Rainn for the chic version of the name.

Hopefully by now you've already found the perfect name for your gray cat. When in doubt, always include your kitten in the name choosing process. There is no better way to test a moniker than hearing it out loud and watching your cat's reaction to it.

If you're about to welcome a new kitten to your home, you'll need to think of the perfect name for them! That's why we've created this list of the best boy and girl kitten names to assist you on your way to giving your new four-legged friend a name that suits them to a T. Once you've finally got a new kitten, there comes a very important task: choosing a name! While it can be as easy as looking into their big, adorable eyes and the perfect kitten name just pops into your head, sometimes, it's not always straight forward and you need a little inspiration to get you going. Here at Purina, we've compiled this list of all of our favourite girl and boy kitten names to help you find the perfect moniker for your new fluffy tailed friend. Top tips for choosing a kitten name The first step in choosing your kitten's name is to make sure it's not too long. Where there's nothing funnier than a cat called Pawdry Hepburn or Lord Fluffybutt, these can get confusing for your kitty. It's not likely that you'll need to call out their name in a busy park (like you do with dogs), but it's still a good idea to stick to names that are one or two syllables, or if you really want it to be longer, think of what the shortened version for the name will be. If you can wait, sometimes it's best to wait a few days before deciding on your boy or girl kitten name, this way you can take in their personality and breed into account. You may find that after spending a little time with them, the ideal kitten name just materialises based on something they do or who they look like! Girl kitten names Dinah You may recognise this cute girl kitten name from Alice in Wonderland. Characterised as a fluffy red cat with big green eyes in the 1950's film, this name is perfect for kitties with an adventurous personality.
