Hes a chinchilla persian, as far as I know when they are born they are registered and given a name that they would have if they were to enter shows, the previous owners had papers to say that, but thats not the name they gave him from day to day which is unusual, but still ordinary compared to being called starspangle. I'll ask my mum but Im sure its to do with his breed, the fact that hes persian, I think his papers also gave his parents show names as well.
Maybe to do with if people wanted to spend a lot of money buying him, they would want to know as well that he was a pure breed as chinchillas can cost a lot of money.
My mum got him for nothing, the owners were just happy that he was going to a good home, because the mum of the family developed a severe allergy to most of the pets and they had to be rehomed as the allergy was so severe it could have killed her.
Ahh ok, thanks, I'm completely ignorant to anything to do with animals!0 -

I don't think I'd use any of my parents, or grandparents name (though I quite like my great grandmothers name (florance may) bit old fashioned perhaps though.
That said I still want to name my hypothetical kids Chole and Jack but I fear that's me taking my 24 obsession to stupid lengths
I used to call the exes (supposed) manhood Florance.

Florence, surely? As in Nightingale, or the city?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

It's the same with all cat pedigrees.
Typically the name could be 3 words long, one of the words could be the breeders registered name (kinda like a company name).
I had a Persian called Coetzees tango (Coetzees was the breeders surfix, tango his name - he was red - or ginger lol), I've seen names longer. I called him teddy, or teddy noo noos, or Ted.
They are registered & name by the breeder & usually the buyer comes later, so they apply their own pet name.0 -
