If you’ve been pondering names that capture the essence of darkness and intrigue for your feline companion, then look no further.
Names like Banshee, inspired by Siouxsie and the Banshees, or Bela, from Bauhaus and Bela Lugosi’s Dead, embody the spirit of gothic culture.
You might also draw inspiration from famous gothic characters like Morticia from The Addams Family or the Raven, symbolic of darkness and mystery.
Gothic arts can yield names like Gargoyle or Vesper, evoking the haunting beauty of gothic design. Alternatively ‘Noir,’ French for ‘black,’ is an interesting option.
