Best Summer 2017 Blockbuster Cat Names

When it comes time to name your feline, you want a cool cat name. You need something that reflects your little prince’s personality without sounding silly when you call him to come inside for dinner. If you give him a sub-par name, he’ll know. He’ll pay you back by howling at midnight and refusing to let you read the paper without sprawling across it. Let him know that you think he’s a star. Name him after one of the summer’s blockbuster movie hits.

Transformers

This fifth installment in the action series is entitled “The Last Knight.” Optimus Prime is gone. He is searching for his maker on the planet Cybertron, which is now shattered into pieces and heading straight for Earth.

On Earth, a group of Transformers joins a British lord and an Oxford professor to find an ancient relic and save the planet. These cat names are perfect for a feline that just might save your world.

The Mummy

In 2017’s version of The Mummy, gender roles are reversed. When adventurer Nick Morton discovers an ancient crypt, he unearths the a previously undisturbed sarcophagus and heads to England.

She has the ability to possess human bodies, and she brings about death and destruction as she tries to recoup the supremacy to which she believes she’s entitled. Is your cat a little ominous or otherworldly? Here are some names for him. Of course, you can also just go with the run-of-the-mill human names from the movie to play it safe.

Baby Driver

In this goofy animated comedy, Gru joins Dru, his long lost twin, to defeat villain Balthazar Bratt. Bratt was a child actor who lost his role as a supervillain once he hit puberty.

However, Gru is done with his days of wickedness. Together, Gru, Dru, and the Minions work to thwart Bratt and his evil plan. If your cat is quirky, eccentric, or makes funny little noises when he “talks,” consider one of these names. He will eventually follow your every command.

The problem is that, unlike any other emoji, Gene makes a multitude of expressions. He just wants to be normal and searches for a code that will fix his condition before Textopolis is deleted forever. If your furry friend is full of emotion, think about naming him after one of the little yellow guys.

How To Name Your Cat

It’s fun to give your cat a name that reminds you of a film that moved you. Maybe your cat has a particular quality that makes him similar to a character from one of 2017’s summer blockbusters or maybe he simply purred when you spoke the name aloud to him. Even if one of the names seems a little ludicrous, don’t cross it off the list until you try it out on your cat. After all, many movie star cats have silly names. Cameron Diaz named her cat Little Man. Snoop Dog has a cat named Frank Sinatra. If you still can’t decide, try naming your cat after a feline star. You can’t go wrong with a name that’s already been pinned on one of the most famous cats on screen.
