Best Hipster Cat Names for Males & Females
According to the Macmillan Dictionary, a hipster is defined as “a young person who lives in a city and pays a lot of attention to trying to seem cool and not part of conventional society, for example in the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, and the food they eat.”
Of course, we all know that cats don’t even have to try to be cool, right? They just are! Hipsters could definitely take a lesson from them!

I am a big fan of Anais Nin, so I’m really loving that name.
I also love Tallulah (although I prefer the “Talula” spelling of it like in the old Tori Amos song from the Twister movie, which I just rewatched).
Scarlet is a great name if you’re a fan of the Marvel Avengers series (or love to name your cats after witches).
My #1 favorite, though, has to be Ophelia, as she’s my favorite Shakespeare character.
