Orange Maine Coon Cat Names

Choose a name for the shade and markings on your Maine Coon: Rusty for a deeper reddish cast, Butterscotch or Honey for a lighter warm tone, and Tiger only if the striped image suits your cat. A breed label alone does not tell you which of those images fits.

CFA uses red as a Maine Coon color term and describes red tabby separately. Orange and ginger are the everyday color words used for this naming collection; this page does not assume every orange coat has the same pattern. CFA Maine Coon breed standard.

Choose by shade, image and everyday call

Use Rusty or Red for a stronger red-color reference, and Peaches for a softer peach tone. Tiger is a pattern choice, not a prediction of adult size or behavior. Compare two favorites and use the same call during a short trial at home.
