Pop Culture Cat Name that Starts with Q

Quirrell

Devout Potterheads might like to name their new kitten after Quirinus Quirrell. Appearing way back in the first book (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), Quirrell is one of the OG movie baddies from many people's childhoods.

This half-blood professor was a Ravenclaw who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in Harry's first year. After trying to seek out Voldemort to uncover secrets about the Dark Arts, Quirrell was taken over by Voldemort, becoming a living Horcrux.

The reveal of Quirrell's second face at the end of the Sorcerer's Stone and the Sorcerer's Stone is a classic moment in the Harry Potter franchise. While he might not be the most memorable character in Harry Potter, he provided fans with the first (of many) battles between Harry and Voldemort.

Any Harry Potter superfan searching for a unique Harry Potter cat name can't go wrong with Quirrell — or Quirinus, for that matter!

Cat Names That Start With Q Consideratons

There's lots to consider when picking a name for your new feline friend. While you can just pick a name you like, you could consider your cat's appearance and "purrsonality" to ensure their new name is a good fit.

For example, if your kitten loves to go on adventures, why not name them Quest? Or if your little lion occasionally throws up their food, Queasy would be an excellent moniker.

You could also pick your cat's name based on your interests. If you love Pokémon and your cat has a fiery personality, then name them Quilava. Or, if you love classic literature, then Queequeg from Moby Dick might be a great namesake.

Whatever you pick for your cat, ensure you're happy with it — it's not wise to change your cat's name suddenly after several years!
