Naming a cat is almost as challenging as naming your kids – except of course your cat won’t wind up in therapy down the line complaining about the name they’ve got! If you’re looking for country girl cat names, southern girl cat names, or western girl cat names, then I’ve got you covered with this ginormous list that took me way too many hours to compile (but really, it was kind of fun).
You recall that day you bring home a new kitten and everyone starts screaming out arbitrary names? My daughter once suggested “Princess Sparkle Rainbow” for our barn cat. Bless her heart, but that did not really fit our little mousers who spend their days grasshopper-chasing and napping in hay bales.

Final Thoughts
Choosing the perfect name is like discovering your most beloved blue jeans – you’ll recognize it when you find it. Regardless of whether you choose classic southern girl cat names, adventurous western girl cat names, or any of these country girl cat names, be aware that the perfect name is one which gives you a feeling of happiness each time you utter it.
And here’s a bit of advice from someone who’s named more cats than I’d confess to: sometimes the cat names herself. You’ll call her “Magnolia” for three weeks, but all she’ll come to is “Maggie.” Or you’ll have it as “Buttercup” but she’s actually a “Trouble.” Roll with it – half the fun of bringing a new member into the family is that.
Whatever name you come up with, she’ll probably ignore it at all times anyway. But when she does come a runnin’ (more likely because she saw the treat bag), you’ll be glad you took the time to search out that perfect country name that fits her offbeat personality like a comfortable, well-worn pair of boots.
