Generate Sphynx cat names for hairless cats of every kind: ironic fur names like Fluffy and Shaggy, skin and wrinkle names like Suede, Chamois, Raisin and Origami, warmth seekers like Toasty and Radiator, Egyptian names like Bastet and Hatshepsut, and look-alikes like Yoda and Dobby.

About Sphynx cat names

A Sphynx cat suggests its own name if you look at it for a minute: the wrinkles, the suede skin, the bat ears and the habit of finding the warmest spot in the house. This list builds 500 names on those traits, for Sphynx cats and for the Russian hairless breeds, the Donskoy and the Peterbald. The funny share is large, because that is what most owners come looking for. There are ironic fur names (Fluffy, Shaggy, Sir Fluffington), skin and fabric names (Suede, Chamois, Corduroy, Peach Fuzz), wrinkle names (Raisin, Origami, Accordion, Seersucker) and warmth names (Toasty, Radiator, Blanket Thief, Purrito).

Egyptian names are the regal choice, and the list has gods, queens and pharaohs from Bastet and Sekhmet to Hatshepsut and Khufu. They suit the look, but the breed itself is Canadian. It began in Toronto in 1966 with a hairless kitten named Prune, which is why Prune is here along with Toronto, Poutine, Toque and other Canadian nods. A few Russian pet names such as Murka, Barsik and Pushok are there for Donskoy and Peterbald owners.

The rest are look-alikes from fiction, all of them characters rather than real people: Yoda, Dobby, Gollum, Nosferatu and Uncle Fester. Mr. Bigglesworth and Mrs. Whiskerson are two well-known screen Sphynx cats, from Austin Powers and Friends.

How to choose Sphynx cat names

Start with the skin. A pink cat suits Peach, Apricot or Flamingo, a grey or blue one Suede, Moleskin or Manatee, and a heavily wrinkled one Raisin, Walnut or Shar Pei.
Ironic names get the best reaction in the vet's waiting room. Fluffy, Shaggy and Woolly Mammoth work because the cat so plainly is not.
Long Egyptian names shorten well: Hatshepsut becomes Hattie, Tutankhamun becomes Tut, Nefertiti becomes Nefi. Keep the full name for the paperwork and the short one for calling.
Name the habit if the looks do not settle it. A cat that lives under the duvet is a Burrow, Undercover or Blanket Thief, and one that owns the heater is Toasty, Furnace or Sunbather.

Frequently asked questions

What are funny names for a Sphynx cat?

The jokes come from the missing coat. Try an ironic fur name such as Fluffy, Fuzzy or Sir Fluffington, a wrinkle name such as Raisin, Prune, Crinkle or Accordion, or a warmth name such as Toasty, Space Heater or Hot Water Bottle. Birthday Suit and Lost My Coat are about as cheeky as the list gets.

Are Sphynx cats from Egypt?

No. The name points at the Great Sphinx, but the breed started in Toronto, Canada, in 1966, and the first hairless kitten was called Prune. Egyptian names such as Bastet, Anubis, Ramses and Nefertiti are a favorite because of the breed's name and its statue-like look, not its origin.

Do these names work for other hairless cats?

Yes. Nothing in the list depends on the Sphynx breed standard, so it suits a Donskoy, a Peterbald, a Bambino or any hairless mix. For the two Russian breeds there are Russian pet names as well, including Murka, Barsik, Kotik and Pushok, a traditional cat name that means fluff.

Is this the same as the sphinx name generator?

No. This page is for Sphynx cats, the hairless pet breed spelled with a y. The sphinx name generator covers the riddle-keeping creature of myth and has a different list.
