Nicknames for British cats: examples of interesting names

Purebred cats born in nurseries are immediately rewarded with respectable nicknames, and outbred babies also respond to simple names. However, there are many criteria by which it is recommended to come up with nicknames for ginger kittens.

Let's find out how to choose a name for an animal with a fiery color, what rules should be followed, and which ones are better to forget about.

Basic criteria for choosing a nickname

When choosing the most suitable nickname for your black pet, you must be guided by the following criteria:

• The name should be easy to pronounce and consist of 2-3 syllables. There is no need to give cats names that are difficult for the owner to pronounce or difficult for the animal to remember.
• It is necessary to choose a euphonious nickname so that the kitten’s owners do not have to blush while loudly calling the animal by name.
• In order for the baby to perceive his name well, it must contain hissing and whistling sounds.
• Take into account the color of the coat, eyes, character traits (playfulness, equanimity, laziness) and the gender of the kitten.
• The name must correspond to the baby’s breed, so as not to give him a nickname that is characteristic only of a certain breed of cat, for example, Scottish.
• Choose a universal nickname that suits your pet at any age.

The ideal names chosen for four-legged babies should please both them and their owners.

Statusname

Fire names are often taken as a basis when choosing a name for red-haired children. According to statistics, only 2% of people have naturally fiery hair color. But today sunny names are especially popular, because it is believed that they can endow the baby with new character traits that will help him be more persistent in life and purposeful, but at the same time give the child an additional range of emotions.

Should hair color be highlighted in the name?

During the times of Ancient Greece, it was believed that names for red-haired people should be chosen very carefully and in no case should the child highlight this hair color, because after death he will be doomed to become a vampire.

But modern research has shown that red-haired people are naturally more energetic and passionate people, so you can additionally strengthen these character traits by giving your baby a fiery name. It is also interesting that Napoleon was also red-haired, but in addition, the parents chose a fiery name for the red-haired boy, because literally translated it means “red” or “fire.”

In addition, often hearing a name, people associate it with a certain appearance of a person. For example, the names Gina or Sophie are most often associated with brunettes, Elizabeth and Jessica with brown-haired women. Of course, you don’t have to highlight the hair color in the name, but you can additionally emphasize the person’s appearance and reveal his spiritual qualities, ardor and emotionality, which is what names for redheads will help with.

Current fire names for red-haired girls

It is worth turning to mythology, because often it is from it that you can glean the most ancient names for red-haired girls that suit them perfectly. Interestingly, the name Tabiti, which means “goddess of love and fire,” is gaining popularity among Tatar and some Muslim peoples today. Another name already associated with Slavic mythology, Dodola is the name of the goddess of lightning. It is believed that it represents the fire element.

You can also mention the ancient Roman name Vesta, which in the past was borne by the goddess of home fire, or Agni, the goddess of fire in India; they also most successfully emphasize fire names, female in origin.

Recently, experts recommend paying attention to such fiery names that are ideal for red-haired children:

• Elizabeth
  , a Hebrew name that reflects a person’s bright character, as well as the ability to achieve a goal. She may seem emotionless on the surface, but she harbors a storm of emotions inside her.
• Alena
  , a Greek name that literally translates as “sunny”, “shining”. This name characterizes a strong and strong-willed woman, but at the same time cheerful and firmly standing on the ground.
• Daria
  , Greek name. This is a variant of the male name Darius, which literally means “lord of fire.” On the other hand, the name Daria also has Persian roots and means “great fire.”
• Alina, French or German name. It is interesting that among these peoples the names Adeline and Alina are considered related. This name was also popular in Greece and meant “sun ray”
• Seraphim
  , Hebrew name, fiery six-winged angel. This name also has a male counterpart - Seraphim. Such girls have an easy-going character, are quite active in life and work hard.
• Ariadne
  , has both Jewish and Muslim roots, symbolizes the sun goddess. However, in some peoples it is interpreted as sacred and immaculate. If we translate the name from Hebrew, it means a lioness or a warlike woman. Such people are very sociable, but sometimes too shy
• Ioannina
  , a Slavic name that symbolizes the sun goddess. Such women are very sensitive and try to be in the company of people all the time. Reserved and easy to talk to, but sometimes strive to control everything around them
• Jaromira
  , Slavic name which means solar world. It has a male counterpart - Jaromir. Such women are very talented and always know how to choose the right words to others, they can be principled
• Gella
  , a Greek name, means a sunny woman or a shining one. Such women are quite soft and can make concessions, have good physical shape, and often gravitate toward male society.

Interestingly, the female name “sunny” is very popular in other countries. For example, we can highlight a group of Baltic names. One of the most famous is Gabia, meaning the goddess of fire and sun. But another sunny name Gintare symbolizes amber or a red-haired woman. The Baltic name Saule is the only one that literally translates as “sun”.

Greek history is also rich in solar names. Among them we can highlight such as Khalianta, which means “beautiful sunny flower” or the familiar name Nellie, which symbolizes a sunny woman. But the name Fotina symbolizes a radiant person; it has a male version. The Greek name Evlampia, which is quite common in Russia, means “pleasant light”, and such girls are also very kind, sometimes they can yield leadership even to their competitor.

Sunny girl names can be multifaceted. For example, among the names of Jewish origin, you can choose the most suitable names for red-haired girls. Among them are Eliana, which means “sun,” Ramina, which translates as “child of the sun,” or another name that has a similar meaning – Anariel.

But among the English names one can highlight the name Adena, which means “sun”. Interestingly, the Latvian name Lesma, which translates as “flame,” began to be used quite recently and has already gained popularity among Slavic countries. But the original Bulgarian name Iskra, which means a small light, is not popular among residents of Russia and is popular only in its homeland.

There are also Arabic names that are suitable for fiery girls: Shamsi and Juna. These names symbolize a bright and sunny person. But the Armenian name Zara is immortalized in the history of this people, because in the past it was borne by the priestess of the fire temple.

One of the most popular Hungarian names, Ilona, ​​is also a fiery name and is translated as a “bright” woman. Living in the 18th century, she became famous for organizing and leading the heroic defense of Mukachevo Castle (today in Ukraine), which lasted more than a year. It was then that she showed her ardent and persistent character in front of the enemy. That’s why they tend to give truly strong women this name.

We can also highlight the most unusual fire names in the world. Among these are Yoko, which means "child of the sun" in Japanese, Keche, a Mari name that has a similar meaning. It is also interesting that during the Soviet era, red-haired girls were often given the name Anfisa, which at that time gained extraordinary popularity, but today it no longer occupies a leading position.

Current fire names for red-haired boys

Very often, if you want to highlight the special appearance of a child, then you remember the names of the ancient gods - the sun or the lords of one of the elements - fire. Among these we can note the ancient Slavic gods – Khorsa and Yaril, who bore the male name “solar”.

Perhaps the most popular name for red-haired boys in Europe is Phoenix. This is the name given to the mythical bird that is reborn and dies in fire. Moreover, it is worth considering that many peoples have their own analogues: Rarog among the Slavs, especially Czechs and Slovaks, Finist among the Greeks.

Experts advise paying attention to such fiery names. The male names below are the most current in recent years in Russia:

• Walery
  , a Slavic name, means “fiery energy” or one who is protected by the sun. Such men are not afraid of obstacles in life; despite their emotionality and ardor, they will never get involved in fights, but will resolve issues peacefully. This name should not be confused with the name Valery, it has a different meaning
• Photin
  , a Greek name that symbolizes a bright person. Such a man is creative and cheerful, but can sometimes be too reckless. Very vulnerable at heart, but tries to show altruism in life
• Agniy
  , both a Greek and Slavic name, means a fiery man. The word "agni" from Greek means "fire". The name also denotes a bright, pure and enlightened person. In life he knows how to adapt to a certain situation, he is cheerful and good-natured.
• Fire expert
  , a Slavic name, means a person who knows the essence of fire. Another name related to this is Ognedar, which means one who makes sacrifices to fire. These men are very friendly. Sometimes they may seem too simple to others, but at the same time they are not without a special spark.

It is interesting that among the Slavic or Greek names one can often note others that are suitable for red-haired boys. Among them: Augustine, Artemon, Agapit, George, Darius, Eudokim, Plato, Severin. It is interesting that Plato is often described as a fiery boy who has been efficient and assertive since childhood, although the name itself in translation means a broad-shouldered man.

It is worth highlighting a group of Baltic names that are suitable for fiery people: Gintaras, which translated means a person with amber hair, or Zhintaras, which has a similar meaning. The name Linas literally means a lion ready to jump, which symbolizes a strong-willed person, a leader in life, and often indicates his specific appearance.

English names also have in their arsenal those that are suitable for sunny children. The name Aden is considered one of the most ancient here and means “fire”. Another name that also symbolizes fire is Edan. But quite rarely, Conley translated means “purification by fire.”

Interestingly, Scandinavian names have been gaining popularity lately. Which among them are suitable for red-haired boys? Experts identify the following: Vulcan, which symbolizes the god of fire and crafts, or the ancient name Solgerd, which means “protection of the sun.” Recently, the following fire names have gained the most popularity: Brand, which means “fire” and Kenneth, born in fire.

Among the most unusual names, it is worth paying attention to Kagutsuchi, which has Japanese roots and means the god of fire and volcanoes. This also includes the Muslim name Yadar, symbolizing a fiery man.

These are the names numerologists recommend for red-haired children, since they will be able to reveal all facets of a person - from emotional to creative. It is also interesting that such names add charm to anyone who bears them, and some of them are even among the most sweet-sounding names in the world. What name to choose for your baby is up to the parents to decide, but those who are trying to find a sunny and fiery name for their child should take a closer look at the proposed options.
