Cat Names That Start With O Considerations

A lot of the O names on this list will fit just about any cat regardless of their breed, color, or temperament. But some of them are more suitable for certain felines; for example, Opal would be a better match for a white cat, and you most likely wouldn’t name a black moggy Orange. 

There are also names that are implicitly associated with certain characteristics. Odin, one of the principal gods in Norse mythology, evokes a sense of power and wisdom, making it a good choice for an alpha male cat. Orchid, a plant known for its beautiful and delicate flowers, would suit a female cat with the same traits. 

And though some names are not always automatically linked to particular traits, they have meanings as well. If you want to put some extra thought into naming your cat, consider their personality and the root meaning of a specific name. For example, Orlee means “golden princess” and would be great for a regal feline. 

On the other hand, you can just go with something fun and cute, like the food names Omelet and Oolong. Ultimately, the name you choose will depend on what sounds good to you. So take a look at this list of cat names that start with O and have fun naming your feline companion!
