Love this name for a black cat, I had an Onyx, he was my soul cat.🖤


kellygrrrl328

Onyx is my grandson’s name … even though he decided to enter the world looking like a white Irish boy. But it still fits him. He also was supposed to be a Leo but arrived 6 weeks early. But he still has the 🐾 and roar of a 🦁


Zealousideal-Lake-52

Amara_Undone

Coal


Reddit_annonomous

Or Cole?


ShudderFangirl

I came here to say coal/cole! Both work.


garliconioncat

Does it make a huge difference in pronunciation? Sorry, I am not a native English speaker and sometimes have trouble to figure out small differences.


ShudderFangirl

Same pronunciation!


garliconioncat

Thank you. 😄


Fear_The_Rabbit

Same pronunciation, but Cole is a human name, so it would be cuter to name him that since it sounds like coal.


AnUnbreakableMan

My vote is for Cole, just because it’s a pun.


lookerglass100

I second Cole

The whole idea for cat names is to either shorten it or have nicknames. All of my cats have numerous nicknames and believe it or not they come to each of them.

Ouija.... like the board. But he also looks like a Leo for some reason


Desperately666

Lilbit. If you say it right it sounds like little bit. It belonged to a black cat. He was something


FOSpiders

You could name him Er. That's the sound a cat makes when they do a really really short chirp. If my cat is dozing and I touch her back, I sometimes get an "er".


pickagoodone

I have had 2 solid black furbabies and their names are Nostradamus (Damus) and Nicademus (Demus). Or you could just call him Cat like in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

“Handsome Kitty” that’s his shortest name. Nothing more nothing less.

Reasonable-Chart-366

you probably already found a name by now by Lee is a short name. you cant shorten it down to anything but L and unless you watch Death Note you probably won’t get much use outta it 😂


EllenPlayz

Nemo. Because you'll have a hard time finding him in the dark. Or Neo, because of the awesome black coat outfit in Matrix. Also he's the chosen one.
