Okay, so we brought home this little Siamese terror a while back. Absolutely stunning cat, you know, the classic look with the dark face, paws, and tail, and those piercing blue eyes. But man, finding a name? That turned into a whole project.
First thing I did, naturally, was just stare at her for a bit. See what vibes she gave off. She was tiny, elegant, but already had this loud meow, like she had opinions on everything. My wife immediately suggested something fancy, like “Duchess” or “Cleopatra.” Didn’t feel quite right for this little screamer.
So, I hit the internet. Typed in the usual stuff, “siamese cat names,” “names for blue-eyed cats,” “thai cat names.” Whoa. Talk about information overload. Lists upon lists. Some were cool, some were just weird. I saw “Sushi,” which, come on, really? Felt a bit lazy.
Digging a Little Deeper
I started thinking more about the breed itself. They’re from Thailand, right? Used to be Siam. So I looked up some simple Thai words. Names like “Mali” (jasmine) or “Dao” (star) sounded nice. But saying them out loud felt a bit… forced? Like I was trying too hard.
Then I focused on her look. Those amazing blue eyes. That led me down the path of names meaning “blue” or “sky,” stuff like “Azure” or “Celeste.” Again, pretty, but maybe too delicate for this little bossy cat.
We spent a few days just calling out different names. “Hey, Coco!” “Come here, Luna!” “Jasper, dinner!” Nothing really stuck. The cat, of course, ignored everything equally. Typical.
Making the Choice
It got kinda frustrating. You want the name to fit, you know? Not just be some random sound. I made a short list on a piece of paper. Stared at it. Read it to my family. We sort of debated them back and forth.
- Miko
- Sasha
- Finn (Yeah, I know, maybe more for a boy, but I liked it)
- Pearl
- Shadow (because of the dark points)
In the end, it was kind of simple. We kept coming back to one name on the list. It just felt comfortable saying it. It seemed to match her elegant look but also her slightly demanding personality. So, we went with Luna. Yeah, I know, super popular, saw it on a million lists. But honestly? It just fit her.
So that was my journey into finding the “best” Siamese name. It wasn’t about finding the most unique or clever name out there. It was just about finding the one that worked for us and, more importantly, for our loud, blue-eyed little cat. Took a bit of digging and trying things out, but we got there.
