July 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Pedigreed cat owners are following an on-going trend of selecting cute and cuddly human cat names along with the names of pop culture characters as names for their beloved felines.

Based on CFA registration statistics from 2014, the top names are:

1.      Coco

2.      Bella

3.      Luna

4.      Daisy

5.      Alice

6.      Lily

7.      Candy

8.      Lucky

Based on CFA registration statistics over the last 30 years, the top names are:

1.      Gizmo

2.      Samantha

3.      Tiffany

4.      Sasha

5.      Princess

6.      Cleopatra

7.      Jasmine

8.      Angel

9.      Chloe

10.   Sabrina

Names are selected by the breeder and/or owner when a cat is registered with CFA.  The breeder’s cattery name is on the prefix and the owner’s cattery name is on the suffix.  Following a naming trend of the past several years, what we choose to name our pets indicate our preference for making our cats members of our family.  Names such as Coco, Alice and Bella are reminiscent of days gone by.  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.  Gizmo is from the film, Gremlins and Luna is most likely named after Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter book series.

Founded in 1906 as a not-for-profit association of member clubs, The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Inc. (CFA) is the world's largest registry of pedigreed cats. To date, CFA has registered more than 2 million pedigreed cats throughout the world. CFA’s mission is to preserve and promote the pedigreed breeds of cats and to enhance the well-being of ALL cats.
