Royal cat names

Cats behave like royalty whether you name them accordingly or not. Queen and king come in many languages (Regina, Reina, Rani, Rex, Raja), and ancient Egypt contributes Cleopatra, Nefertiti and Ramses.

Titles work beautifully as names, too. Duchess, Countess, Baron and Duke all sit naturally on a cat, and the Aristocats made Duchess and Marie the definitive aristocratic cats.
