One year I recieved The Complete Book of Cat Names by Bob Eckstein as a birthday present. I already had a cat with a name at the time, so it didn't help me much. It's a fun book, and has a few good suggestions, but also really terrible suggestions, such as “Anderson Pooper”, “Gangrene”, “Boyfriend”, and “Doobie”. These are names you must never give your cat. I have compiled a couple of the best names that book had to offer, and my own ongoing list of very good recommendations. Some of these names already belong to cats I have met before, so I can say with absolute certainty that everyone will like them.
