Alright, let’s set the stage. You’ve just added a Maine Coon cat companion to the family, and now, it’s time to find the perfect name. With their majestic fur, huge size, and playful personality, finding a name that can fit ‘all that’ can seem impossible. But fear not, feline enthusiasts!
We’ve tapped into our team’s collective creativity to bring you 20 cute names perfectly suited for your Maine Coon. From whimsical and witty to downright adorable, these names capture the essence of these fabulous felines.
Funny Cat Names for Maine Coons
1. Chewbacca
Fans of Star Wars will appreciate the name Chewbacca for their Maine Coon. It’s a playful reference to the beloved Wookie character known for his loyalty and fluffy appearance.
2. Gizmo
If your Maine Coon is full of energy and curiosity (and maybe just a little bit on the naughty side at times), Gizmo is a perfect name. It’s a nod to the lovable character from the “Gremlins” movies and the perfect way to highlight your cat’s playful nature.
3. Captain Floof
For the Maine Coon who rules the roost, Captain Floof is a fitting name. It combines their fluffy appearance with a title that commands respect… Well, at least they’ll think so.
4. Yeti
Maine Coons are known for their large size and fluffy coats, making Yeti a fitting name, especially considering the mythical creature’s shaggy, overly hairy appearance.
5. Fluffernutter
Maine Coons are known for their fluffy coats, so why not name your furry friend Fluffernutter? This name is not only adorable but also a fun way to highlight their soft and cuddly nature. (Plus, we just love saying it!)
6. Hagrid
Inspired by the giant, lovable character from the Harry Potter series, Hagrid is an excellent name for a big-hearted Maine Coon.
7. Hoover
Got a cat that is constantly on the hunt for anything you drop (especially food)? Maybe Hoover would be the perfect name for them!
8. Peanut
Maine Coons are, well, the opposite of small, so why not lean into that with a name that fits them in the most non-fitting way possible?
9. Confetti
Perfect for the Maine Coon with a seriously colorful coat, or one who likes to tear up small scraps of paper (hey, they’re making you a present), Confetti is just ultra-adorable and fun.
10. Moose
For a cat who’s practically the size of a small moose, this name is both humorous and fitting.
11. Tubbs
Okay, we know Maine Coons are just fluffy, but this is still a funny name for our oversized feline friends.
12. Kit-Kat (KK)
Need we say more?
13. Munchkin
Irony, thy name is Munchkin. Given that Maine Coons are one of the largest domesticated cat breeds, naming one “Munchkin” adds a fun twist to their size. Plus, it’s kind of cute when you call out, “C’mere, Munchkin!” and a massive furball comes trotting over.
14. Puff Daddy
For those Maine Coons who are the epitome of fluff, Puff Daddy is a hilarious and fitting name.
15. Gigantor
Maine Coons can grow to be pretty massive, so why not lean into it?
16. Captain Purrcard (Captain, for short)
Captain Purrcard is the ultimate title for a Maine Coon who runs the place. Known for their commanding presence and intelligence, these cats could easily take the helm of any starship—or at least your living room.
17. Wayne and Garth
Name a more iconic comedy movie duo – we’ll wait. Perfect for your cat bros, this pair of names is the kind of understated funny most of us can get behind.
18. Hercules
For the larger-than-life cat, Hercules is more than appropriate. Plus, we can’t help but think of Disney’s Hercules, who went from ‘zero to hero’ and wound up being everyone’s dream man by the end!
19. Noodle
For the Maine Coon who’s a bit of a goofball, Noodle is a fun and quirky name. It’s great for a cat who loves to twist, turn, and play around.
20. Meatball & Spaghetti
Last but certainly not least, we have Meatball and Spaghetti, inspired by our very own team member Eve and her sister’s Maine Coons. These names are perfect for a duo of cats who complement each other in the most deliciously adorable way possible.
And there you have it, folks! Twenty cute, funny, and downright fun names for your beloved furry friend. Whether you lean in hard on the size (or size difference), go for something a bit more pop culture-y, or just like something that is funny and cute you’ll find something perfect for your pal!
