White cat names: 25 Best names for a white cat

Aspen 

A fun-loving Snowshoe cat deserves a winter-sports name inspired by this Colorado ski resort.

Bianca

From the Italian for ‘white,’ this would be a lush name for a pretty Persian with blue eyes.

Blanche

Maybe your white Tiffany cat has more of a French air, so the French word for ‘white,’ suits better!

Bones

This is a fun (and a bit spooky?) name for a Domestic Shorthair.

Casper

The adorable Casper the Friendly Ghost could be a role model for a Japanese Bobtail with white fur. 

Chalky

This is a cute name for a little white Thaï cat.

Coconut

The delicious coconut could give your white (with brown fluff, perhaps) Oriental a nice flavour.

Diamond

This name is a precious moniker for a priceless pure white Persian.

Duchess 

The lovely white female cat from Disney’s The Aristocats would be a good namesake for an American Shorthair.

Elsa 

This name is taken from Frozen, of course. A white Siberian wouldn’t be bothered by the cold, anyway.

Finn 

This name means ‘fair’ in irish, and might work for a fair-haired Cymric.

Gandalf

The great Tolkien character Gandalf the White would be a wonderful name inspiration for a long haired Norwegian Forest Cat.

Khaleesi

From the series A Song of Ice and Fire, this is the name for a powerful and determined, yet strikingly beautiful Turkish Angora.

Lily

From the flower, which is a symbol of purity and innocence, this is a sweet name for a delicate Cornish Rex.

Luna

This name means ‘moon,’ and also honours the heroic Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series. It would be a great name for a Khao Manee.

Milkshake

Does your white Turkish Van bring all the boy cats to the yard? That’s some party!

Pearl

This is an elegant name for a white Tonkinese.

Powder

This name could either reflect your love or powdered sugar or snow, and would suit a fluffy white cat like a Ragamuffin.

Shiro

This translates into ‘white’ in Japanese, so would make sense as a name for a white Japanese Bobtail.

Simone 

Audrey Hepburn’s lovely white cat had this name. She was possibly a Domestic Shorthair.

Snowflake

This delicate name would be lovely for a Sphynx cat, we think.

Snowball

A playful name for a full-figured cat such as a white Exotic Shorthair.

Tofu

This soy-derived package of yum would be a great name for a cute white European Shorthair.

Yuki 

This is a delightful name for a white Maine Coon, which means ‘snow’ in Japanese.

Zima 

The Slavic word for ‘winter,’ feels like a powerful name befitting a great white Siberian cat.
