We’ve had three black cats in our household. My wife and I named ours Natalie Coal (our cats always have middle names). My daughter called her cat Snowball, and my son called his Shadow. Interestingly, the first time we took our daughter’s cat to our local small-town vet, he said he treated four (!) black cats named Snowball. ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > **Pythian Habenero** : Naming it after a science fiction author sounds interesting, but it would probably have to be Bradbury. A black cat from the October Country, you know. I love naming cats after people. Most of our cats are named after people: Irving, Orson, Albert, Isaac, Halley, Dickens. We have one named after a character (Ichabod) and one named after a book (Cosmo, named for Carl Sagan’s Cosmos because I didn’t want to name her Carl). Soooo. How about Ray or Rae? Bradbury, Berry, Blackberry, Bree? ---

I had a great black cat who’s name was **Ki** (rhymes with “eye”)… good 'n short. or you could go with **Hecate** ---

> [@csharpmajor](#): > > Pictures! Pictures! \>:[ > > Jack? I have a male black cat with green eyes, his name is Jack. Actually, it’s Captain Jack because when he was a tiny kitten he had a tendency to stand on his hind legs and wave his paws around drunkenly\*. I suppose I could have called him Rory Calhoun for standing on his hind legs but the drunken paw waving made the Capt. Jack connection more obvious. (\*he was not actually drunk) When I think of female names that go with black, Dahlia pops into my head but that may not be a connection you’d want to make. ---

Hmf. Heifer is a good name. Bast, Egyptian cat goddess. Envy, the green eyed monster. ---

These are all interesting names, and there is no way I can acknowledge them all right now. Thank you all. ---

My cat is black with green eyes. Her real full name is Stark Raven Bonkers, but it’s Raven for short. ---

I had a black cat once–his name was **Jet**. I’d have used the same name if it’d been a female, though. I’ve got two black kittens now that my daughter named– **Jasmine** (we call her **Jazz** ) and **Puff**. But I would’ve considered names such as **Raven** , **Onyx** , and **Ebony**. Also, the green eyes make me think of the name **Jewel**. ---
