What did you name your cat? If you want to choose the most popular name for a cat in 2014, Bella is the most popular name for a cat in over fifteen states with Lily and Lucy coming in close behind. For some odd reason, New Mexico residents seem to prefer the name “The Lion King.”

Bella is actually an Italian word that means “beautiful” so if you want to name your cat beautiful in different languages, you can try mei (pronounced “may”) in Chinese, beau in French, or hermosa in Spanish. Or you can just get creative and name your cat after a relative or famous person.
