I have some friends who named their cat Carlos (after Santana) - i remember he had markings on his face that looked like a moustache.
I had a barn cat that made batch-after-batch of prime-grade kittens. One litter begat Cat Power and Peetie Wheatstraw.

I named my kittens Yuko and Hiro in high school. And that's two threads I have mentioned Blur in, back to back.
