Do I need to choose a name in advance?
Those who take a responsible approach to the issue of bringing a pet into the house, as a rule, begin to choose a name for a white boy kitten in advance. However, this approach is not always good. People find a name they like and associate the animal with it. But the kitten that appears in the house completely ignores the nickname. This happens very often. There are also frequent cases when people themselves see that a pre-selected name for their little pet is absolutely not suitable.
Therefore, you should not decide on a nickname in advance. It is enough to write down several options that seem suitable. And choose from them only when the little cat appears in the house and you can watch him.

What not to call white kittens
The choice of name depends only on the owner himself; there are no complete restrictions on this. The decision is best made by the whole family, with the direct participation of the future owner, even if it is a child. Avoid nicknames that offend the animal or hint at its weaknesses.
Attention! Using the names of deceased pets can cause psychological trauma; reminders of the past will block love for a new cat.
Another criterion is compliance and non-compliance with appearance. There will be no practical disadvantages if the white kitten is called Coal, but from a semantic point of view this is incorrect.
The proverb: “As you name a ship, so it will sail” works with character. Names can smooth out negative traits or give new ones.
Criteria for choosing a nickname
White is not only a symbol of righteousness and spirituality, but also goodness, joy and peace. Kittens with snow-white fur look elegant and defenseless, and therefore many owners strive to name them with names associated with snow-whiteness and purity. When choosing a nickname, you must also take into account the gender of the pet. Girls are usually elegant and beautiful; affectionate and laconic nicknames are suitable for them. Boys can be given solid and playful names. For kittens with a mixture of other colors in their fur, names can be selected taking into account the color combination.
Sometimes felinological organizations put forward requirements according to which the pet's name must contain the first letters of the names of the breeding animals
Another important point to remember when choosing a name for a pet is euphony. The nickname should be easy to pronounce and easily perceived by ear. The best option would be a name with a predominance of vowels or sibilants.
