Bridgerton Cat Names: Daphne, Simon, Kate and Regency Picks

Shondaland's Bridgerton swept onto Netflix in December 2020 and turned Regency London into a glittering world of silk gloves, string-quartet pop covers, and a gossip sheet that everyone reads and no one admits to. Adapted from Julia Quinn's novels, it follows the eight Bridgerton siblings, all named in alphabetical order from Anthony to Hyacinth, as they navigate the marriage market under the watchful eye of Queen Charlotte and the anonymous pen of Lady Whistledown. It is a setting built for elegant, slightly grand cat names that still sound warm coming from a doorway.

The most direct route is the cast itself: Daphne and Simon, the duke and the debutante of the first season; the brooding eldest brother Anthony and the sharp-witted Kate; the bookish Eloise; and Penelope, the wallflower with a secret. The deeper bench of Regency-era given names adds Benedict, Colin, Violet, Edwina, and more. Coat color helps you choose, with a poised cream cat suiting a debutante name and a sleek dark cat carrying the duke's mood. Bonded pairs feel right here too, echoing the show's great romances. Many of these names appear in our dictionary and are linked below with their meanings, so browse the curated list and find the title that fits the little aristocrat ruling your drawing room.
