Black Mamba

Or something ironic like Snowball.
We had a black cat named ‘Midnight’ once.
Atarax…..Based on this condition…
My brother has two black cats named Sable and Coal.
Basement cat or B.C.
Panther
And a second vote for something ironic like Snowball.
Licorice
Carbón (coal in Spanish).
(and Milo, which I favor.)
why do I have ‘when smokey sings’ stuck in my head now?
Choco Taco
I had one named “Batman.” My vet said statistically (and superstitiously, of course), that black cats named for the devil (Diablo, Dameon, Scratch, Lucifer, etc) seem to come to early demises.
Joe is a pretty kick ass name.
Mr. Mistoffolees!
Shutup, I’m a nerd.
@rangerr I was SO mad that the black and white cat my family got when I was a kid was a girl, I had a big crush on Mr. Mistoffolees at that point.

choose your side!!!
Beelzebub!
And then when she’s naughty, you can say, “Hey, ‘bub! What do you think you’re doing?!” as you gingerly pull her tiny claws from your living room curtains.
@erichw1504 epic fail my man… plus.. everyone knows Edward Cullen doesn’t exist! Voldemort killed him! (I got that from i think Tink’s tumblr)

Every cat needs theme music, especially persians.
@erichw1504 I’m sure someone likes that movie/book/end of the youth as we know it, but apparently on this question most of us don’t (so far, it seems).
Hey, can’t we all just get along?
@erichw1504 Sure I do, I’m just embarrassed to admit it:)
I was only picking on him….just being playful.
Let me know if this is clever or annoyingly clever…
What if I use the Farsi (Persian) name for cat: Gorbe
Very clever, but I think you can do better. Make Gorbe her middle name for sure.
@davidk the true test of a cat name is to pretend you’re calling the cat…
A really disturbed friend emailed me, and suggested the name “Stayn” What a perv!
My brother suggests:
Rebecca
Isabel
Mercury
Moon
Beyonce
Chicory
Isis
Macaw
Monaco
Pebble Beach
Angelinica
Mergatroid
Principia
Penguinivere
Ethernet. (Cat5) Networking joke…
I called my black cat Bagheera. :)
SMOKEY! I can’t believe no one’s said it yet! It’s the cutest name :)
@smack, aren’t cats named Smokey usually gray?
my black cats name is Henry. it fits.
All of my cats have credible human names, with the exception of one, who’s named Mister. I have to admit being more than a little amused when I’m at the vet and they use their first names and our last name. Even funnier was getting a prescription filled for one of the cats at Walgreens. Even the pharmacist was laughing.

I had a black cat named midnight…he was a great cat, with a great name. And you can use the name for a girl or boy.
Name her after your mother.
…better yet, Dahlia (as in the “Black Dahlia”)
Maybe Midnight or Nightrider or something :P
Eartha.
If she needs a last name, Eartha Kitten.
Ok what is going on here…I didn’t write that comment about a black cat named midnight…is anyone else’s username getting hacked into?!
You should alert the mods.
It’s really freaking me out! Is it just Fluther or could they have gotten other website info?
Black Magic
Nightmare
Jynx
KoKo
Blackjack
Blackout
Spades(?)
Java
Mojo
Fia
Fortuna
and probably my favorite: Checkers
Although that last one kind of doesn’t apply to an all black cat, however I really like that name and I think it can be used for any cat. :)
Max I had a gorgeous black cat years ago who went by this name
My friend once had a black cat named Lucifer, Louie for short
Vashti The origin of the name is uncertain. As a modern Persian name it is understood to mean “beauty”
I had a black cat named Black Prince when I was younger and my black cat now is Noodles…something random is always better
The three black female cats I’ve had over the years were named Baby (I know, very creative right?), Athena, and Katy.
Obscura is Latin for dark.
Does this cat have a name yet?
@rangerr I think s/he has 97 names so far!
@rangerr I have narrowed it down to the following:
Simone, Luna, Nuit & Midnight.
The middle name is decided: Gorbe (Persian for “cat”)
@valdasta sorry, no. Dahlia is a beautiful name though. Thanks for giving it a shot.
Yay! Go with Luna. My Luna was the best furry, fluffy, big black cat, ever.
What’s Persian for “dog”? That should be the first name.

No, I don’t give up.
My daughter says my reference might be too obscure, so let me explain.
My answer is Eartha Kitten.
Eartha Kitt, of course, was the black woman who played Cat-woman on the old Batman TV show.
@filmfann Very creative, indeed. Eartha Kitten.
Eclipse!!! It has to be Eclipse. orrrrrrr…. Mortimer.
PLEASE tell us your cat’s name. POLLLLLEEEEEEEZZE!!!!!!!
