How to choose a pair in 3 steps

Pick a theme. Food, music, weather or a favorite duo keeps the two names connected.
Say them out loud. A pair should be easy to call together, one name after the other.
Check each name works alone. Your cat will hear one name at a time, so each half of the pair should stand on its own.

Pair FAQ

What are good names for two kittens?

Choose two names that share a theme, such as Salt & Pepper, or that rhyme, such as Honey & Bunny. Both should be short and clear so each kitten learns its own.

Should littermates have similar names?

Names that start with different sounds are easier for each cat to tell apart, so pick a theme rather than two names that sound almost the same.

How many syllables is best?

One or two syllables is easiest to call; longer names can be shortened to a nickname.

Can I name three kittens with a trio?

Yes. The last group has 30 trios such as Snap, Crackle & Pop or Mocha, Latte & Cappuccino.
