    My girl cat Persephone got a goddess name, but we normally do old lady names and had a mental block on them at the time. So Percy it is.

    I once lived with a male Norwegian mutt named Nipsey Russel.

    He was an interesting character like his namesake. He was an amazing cat who loved alcohol, you literally had to keep an eye on your drink.

    Funny, I’m close to the opposite. My boy cat is named after a god (Apollo, Greek god) and my girl cat is named after my favourite drink (Islay, scotch from Islay, Scotland).

    When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine’s coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

    We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.

    I’ve had cats named Baldr, Hermóðr, Grendel, and Wotan. I’ve currently got a Valkyrie, Brynhildr, Freyja, and Freya (we got Freya when she was a year old because her owner couldn’t keep her, and we already had Frejya, so…). But our current boy cats are Svartur ('cuz he’s black), Robert, and Charlie.
