Names for a female black cat
I wasn't really sure what category to put this in, but I guess it's kind of a pet question...
So, I've decided to write a story about a homeless black cat (I have a black cat, so she inspired me), but I don't know what to name her. The name is probably going to be the title, so I need something that really stands out. In other words, I need a name for a female black cat (And please, nothing like 'cutie' or 'brownie' or anything like that) that sounds kind of sweet and simple. Thank you!

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Well, first off congratulations on your ambition and decision to write a story. Writing is a special talent and I commend you for taking on the task. That being said, naming character (including animals) is very important and I can understand why you want to get this decision right.
I've got a few suggestions that might help you out. The first three that come to mind are:
Onyx
Charcoal
Midnight
If you're just going for the tone of the name, Onyx has the most interesting sound of the bunch. However, I would advise you to consider the personality or traits of the cat in your story before choosing the name too. For example, with the three ideas I listed above, the name Onyx is a gemstone and would fit well with a cat that has classy qualities or is a bit aloof. Charcoal tends to be a dirty, gritty substance and thus might be better suited for an animal on the streets. Midnight indicated darkness and possibly scariness. So a name like that would be good for a pet that is a bit creepy. Do you see what I mean?
Good luck, I hope your story turns out amazing.

When I think of black cats i think of mysterious withdraw something kind of like a southern name you'd find in those witchcrafty areas in Louisiana.
Ambrosia
Amielean or Adelalean... probably not how you spell that name though.
Belladonn or Belladonna or even Isabelle, Isabella
Renee
Louisee
Celeste
Deliah
