Tuxedo Cat Names (200+ Classy, Cool & Funny Ideas)

Tuxedo cats look like they’re dressed for a fancy event 24/7—black-and-white coats that feel instantly classy, dapper, and a little bit dramatic. That’s why tuxedo cat names usually lean into one of three lanes: formal and gentleman-style names, cool and sleek names (the “mini James Bond” vibe), or funny names that play off the suit look. The best name is the one you’ll happily say a hundred times a week—because tuxedos tend to be confident, social, and very “present” in your daily life.

This guide gives you a big set of tuxedo-friendly name ideas plus an easy way to choose the right style. You’ll find options for boys, girls, and unisex names, plus kitten picks, short and one-syllable names for training, and names with meanings. If you want a sharper theme, there are suit-inspired names, classy/dapper picks, old Hollywood and vintage vibes, mafia/movie energy, and James Bond-style names. If your tuxedo cat is sneaky or chaotic, you’ll also see mischievous and badass options—because some tuxedos act like polite little villains (in the funniest way).

Start with the quick list below, then jump to the style that matches your cat’s personality—calm and elegant, or mischievous and bold.

How to choose a tuxedo cat name

Choosing a tuxedo cat name is all about matching the “suit” vibe while keeping the name easy to use every day. Tuxedos are visually iconic, so a name that references style, elegance, or playful contrast usually lands perfectly.

1) Pick your tuxedo lane. Most tuxedo names fall into a few reliable lanes: classy/elegant (Chanel, Velvet), formal/gentleman (Winston, Duke), cool/spy (Bond, Noir), or funny (Oreo, Checkers). Decide which vibe you want first—then you’ll instantly know which lists to focus on.

2) Prioritize the daily calling sound. Many cats respond best to 1–2 syllables because the sound pattern is clear. Short names like Tux, Jet, Lux, or Pip can be great for training. If you love a longer name (Reginald, Consigliere), use a short nickname consistently (Reggie, Consi).

3) Use contrast if your cat’s personality is chaotic. A tuxedo cat looks formal by default. If your cat is a total clown, a serious formal name can be hilarious—and it often becomes even more charming over time. Think “Sir Pounce” or “Professor” for a cat who knocks things off shelves.

4) If your tuxedo is calm, go timeless. For gentle, calm cats, elegant names usually feel right—clean sounds, not too silly, and easy to say. Names like Aria, Hugo, Jasper, or Stella tend to age well from kitten to adult cat.

5) If your tuxedo is mischievous, go bold. Many tuxedo cats have a sneaky, clever streak. If that’s your cat, a bold or “rule-breaker” name fits perfectly: Rogue, Bandit, Jinx, or Havoc.

6) Use meaning only if it helps you decide. “Names with meanings” are fun, but don’t force it. If a meaning makes you smile or matches your cat’s vibe, great. If not, pick the name that feels natural on your tongue—that’s the one you’ll actually use consistently.

7) Do the 10-call test. Say the name ten times out loud like you’re calling your cat for treats. If it stays smooth, it’s a keeper. If you start shortening it automatically, you’ve found your real everyday name.

8) If you’re naming two cats, keep endings distinct. Avoid pairs that rhyme or share the same ending sound. “Milo” and “Niko” can blend. Better is something like “Bond” and “Monroe” or “Tux” and “Chanel.” Different endings help each cat learn their own name faster.

Once you pick a name, use it consistently for a week during positive moments—food, play, and cuddles. That repetition is what makes the name stick.
