Press Kit
These figures describe the iCatNames catalog and its source-review coverage. They count editorial records, not registered cats or surveyed owners.
About iCatNames
iCatNames is a free cat-name directory with 22,292 naming ideas, a filterable generator, and a printable naming worksheet. Meanings, origins, and pronunciations are available where source-checked. The catalog is an editorial inventory, not a count of actual cats.
Catalog and source-review coverage
| Measure | Records | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Active name records | 22,292 | Suggestions in the editorial catalog |
| Profiles matching a source review | 142 | Current record matches its checked version |
| Checked profiles with a meaning field | 123 | Meanings can be word references or qualified name-history explanations |
| Checked profiles with an origin field | 135 | Read the profile for the specific language or usage context |
| Checked profiles with a pronunciation field | 29 | Only the language or pronunciation variety stated in the record |
| Editorial collections | 689 | Browsing groups, not measured popularity |
| Famous-cat entries | 485 | Inventory count; not a claim that every biography has completed review |
Counts reflect the database when this page is generated and may differ from a dated report. A large catalog does not imply that all fields are verified. Our methodology explains the checks and limitations.
Using a ranking or scientific claim
For name rankings, use the checked ranking snapshots and cite the original publisher, sample and period. Do not use a catalog gender-label percentage as the percentage of owners choosing a gender-neutral name, or a collection count as the frequency of a name among cats.
For behavioral research, cite the original paper and what it tested. The acoustic research guide explains why hearing limits and spelling heuristics do not establish a best name shape.
Downloads and contact
The resources page provides a CSV of public catalog fields, a printable shortlist and an embeddable generator. Unverified descriptive fields remain blank in the CSV. It is not a dataset of individual cats.
For a correction, citation question or data request, use contact and include the page URL, requested scope and original reference. Substantive changes are recorded in the updates log.
