Okay, so the other day I found myself with two little furballs, a brother and sister pair. Super cute, but man, naming them was a thing. I specifically wanted something funny, you know? Names that make you chuckle when you call them.
Getting Started – The Funny Angle
Just giving them random funny names felt kinda disconnected. Since they’re siblings, I figured the names should play off each other. That seemed way funnier. It’s like they’re a little comedy duo already. Plus, shouting “Fish” and “Chips” across the house just has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
So, I started just scribbling stuff down. First, I looked at the kittens. One’s super hyper, the other is just… chill. So I thought about opposites. That was my first real direction. Like:
-
Zig and Zag
-
Salt and Pepper
-
Chaos and Calm (maybe a bit too on the nose?)
Digging into Famous Pairs (and Food!)
Then I went down the rabbit hole of famous duos. Some worked, some didn’t. Stuff like:
-
Bonnie and Clyde (Maybe a bit dark for cats?)
-
Sonny and Cher (Getting warmer)
-
Lucy and Ricky (Classic!)
Food pairs were also on the table because, let’s be honest, cats and food go together. I thought about:
-
Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB & J for short?)
-
Mac and Cheese
-
Fish and Chips (Mentioned that one already, liked it a lot)
-
Bacon and Eggs
I kept watching them play. The little guy is a total goofball, always tumbling. The sister is more sneaky, the mastermind type. This got me thinking about funny character pairs again. Maybe something like:
-
Pinky and The Brain
-
Ren and Stimpy (A bit weird maybe?)
-
Wallace and Gromit (Love this but maybe too specific?)
Hitting on Some Good Ones
Finding names that were funny, fit a boy/girl pair, and weren’t totally ridiculous took some time. It’s harder than it looks! You gotta say them out loud. Yelling “Waffles!” and “Syrup!” felt pretty good. “Pickle” and “Olive” also had a nice sound. The key was finding pairs that sounded funny together but weren’t too complicated.
Eventually, I landed on a couple of strong contenders. I won’t say exactly what I picked, gotta keep some mystery, right? But the process was fun. Just throwing ideas around, looking at food, cartoons, famous people… anything works. The main thing was focusing on that pair dynamic and aiming for a chuckle. So yeah, that’s how I tackled finding funny names for my brother and sister kittens. It’s mostly just trial and error and seeing what sticks.
