We had a grey cat and his name was Wolfy(nickname Wolf) for the same reason too. He was the color of a grey wolf. He passed away 3 years ago and he was just 3 yrs and some months. We have no idea why he died. He just stopped eating and would barely drink and his back legs were not working properly then he went and hid somewhere outside and died and we had to find him. We buried him in a specialty made box(we made him with his name and year he was born and died) wrapped in an American flag. He was my son’s cat and would sleep with him even when my son was sick, he would be right there at the end of his bed. He was an awesome cat, me, my mom and step dad teared up when we had to bury him, my son didn’t understand then. Now he knows Wolfy in heaven with my grandma(his great grandma). RIP Wolfy
My heart is broken. I’m so sorry.

My Maine Coons name was ( Puck ), and was very mischievous, named after A Midsummer night’s dream. He lived to be 18 years old.
I saw the name Puck & thought of MTV’s “The Real World” lol
That’s exactly the name I gave my pure black cat. Just like the imp. She also lived to 18.
I named my gray male cat Greebo. If you’re a fan of the Diskworld series by Terry Pratchett you’ll recognize the name. Find out more about him here https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Greebo. If your kitty is on the ornery side, it’s a great name.
But I liked that the pronunciation is the same as “Gris beau” which one French translation would be “Gray boyfriend” or maybe “Gray handsome boy”.
I just got 2 female grey tabby kittens yesterday. Going to fun finding names for them. So far I like pebbles and silvermist
Decided on Grayson for our new grey kitty. Thought he needed a distinguished sounding name to fit his siamese markings.
Loved the help with gray kitten names. I found a very sweet, little long haired gray girl. She’s awaiting surgery to amputate one of her rear legs due to an unknown injury. She was also loaded with fleas and ear mites. She’s doing better now and I wanted a very special name for her. I narrowed it down to Pearl, Opal or Nickel. I need ur help. What do you like for her?
I think Graycie, Gracie… is a nice name
Getting a cat soon and my top 3 are Tokyo , Kiko and Joon. Its a grey male 🙂 still deciding but prob kiko i think. Means Child and happiness
My cat is named Luna too she is black and white and she is older she has long hair and she is very very pretty!!!!

That’s fantastic! So glad that the article helped you choose a few potential names for your kitten. Wishing you and your new Siamese all the best!
I think I’m Gunna Go With Gandalf The Gray for my 4 month old Gray kitten
Love it!
My rescued Russian Blue is named Rocky and his Bombay litter mate is named Boo-Winkle.
I have had two gray male cats and one gray and one female gray and white striped cat in my lifetime. The gray and white striped female was named smokey. The fuzzy gray male was named Furrball (after one of the tiny-toons characters). The short hair gray male is named Eros (after the God of love). When I was reading some of the names of cats and the replies, I saw that someone had an orange and white striped cat. I also had one that was male, I named him Zephyrus. Right now I still have Eros, but I also have an all-black female cat and her name is Peekaboo. I also had a gray and white striped tabby named Buddy and another gray/black and white striped male named Boreas. With Boreas (his similar-looking brother or bookend) was Mr. Purr (I don’t think any explanation needs to be made here). Boreas, Buddy, Furrball, and Mr.Purr were all brothers and live a long life. However, all of these cats had different personalities and were very good kitties. The two I have now are wonderful as well. I hope that these names will also help in your decision-making.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this.
Cheers,
Chris
