Some cats just have this calm and cool personalities and naming your cat appropriately feels really good. Calm cat names might be what you are looking for.
Have you ever seen a cat that looks like it solved all the mysteries and the meaning of life? I bet you did because a lot of cats have that attitude, especially the calm cat breeds. They have an aura that gives you peace. Choosing one of the calm cat names for those kind of cats might be the answer to one of the all time favorite questions of cat-lovers: What will I name my cat?
Calm cats are generally preferred by seniors or families with small kids although there is a huge number of single people who prefer a peaceful atmosphere when they get back home after a tiring day at work. A calm cat doesn’t necessarily need to be lazy or unwilling to play. In fact if your cat doesn’t want to play at all, there might be some health issues or even depression linked to this behavior so it is best to consult your regular veterinarian about this issue.
A calm cat is just a cat that doesn’t show any aggression or shows mild reactions even when it feels pain. Once my regular veterinarian had to drip-feed my male cat, Ouzo. On top of not even meowing when he felt the needle, he just sat there in peace until the serum was over. After that, his veterinarian nicknamed him “Ouzo the Zen Cat”.
If you are parenting a calm cat, you know what I am talking about. It might be one of the best feelings when you know whatever you do, you will not be scratched. Such cats deserve one of the calm cat names.
Male Calm Cat Names
Male cats are generally thought to be more energetic that may show aggression when they can not spend their extra energy but this is not always true. If a male cat is calm, he may even be a wise cat. Just make sure this calmness is not due to an evil plot to take over the world. Yes, I suspect the cats!

Female Calm Cat Names
I don’t know why but I always associated the words such as “peace”, “serenity” or “hope” with being feminine. Maybe it is because we as human males are “a little” more aggressive than our female counterparts.
