Maine Coons are awesome cats that deserve a badass name to match their great personalities and wild looks.

Badass Maine Coon Names

When trying to come up with a badass name for your Maine Coon, you can consider things like personality, color, or even just things that you like. You could also consider cats made famous in pop culture or mythology. This will leave you with loads of badass options like Ninja, Phoenix, or Batman.

As the largest domesticated cat breed in the world, these cats are so much fun to live with. They are excellent hunters but more commonly known for their gentle and sweet nature and love of spending time with their human families.

Here are 20 badass Maine Coon cat names to get you started:

  1. Huntress/Hunter: Maine Coons are known to be great hunters.
