Of course, you can always call him “He Who Must Not Be Named” or “You Know Who!”
While I shared my top ten favorites above, it really is hard to choose just one of these Harry Potter cat names!
I feel like I need to go adopt 100 cats so I can use them all! Of course, that would be absurd…right?
Great list, I like Luna and Snitch, don’t know why they just sound nice to me.
Lmao!! I found this post very hilarious. I feel the name Snitch is so unfair (haha). I can’t even imagine naming a cat “he who must not be named”. This isn’t even a name anymore, it’s a sentence! There’s no shortcut to it. Nice one though.
Lol on Gilderoy. That cat’s going to be a nervous wreck!
I love Harry Potter! Any of these would make a great name for a cat!
I dont Know But i think Alastor sounds cool.. If i have a cat with these names as an option, Alastor is what i will choose.
Harry potter names that sound amazing to me. Cats will live such cool names too.
Harry Potter fans will love these names. Harry and Gabrielle would be great for make and female cats.
