Unique Girl Cat Names
It’s not unusual to want to be different. A great tip when looking for original names is to think about place names. Towns and cities often have really cool names. Some are already popular (think of Skye, a Scottish island) but many of them have never been used for naming pets or people (how about Faroe – another Scottish Island). Why not brainstorm a few place you have been or would like to go?
