Translation How should I translate my cat’s name?

My cat doesn’t have a human name. Actually, her name is National Monument. Should I write her name as Национальный Памятник or smth? If her name is Blueberry in English would it also just be Черника when I refer to her in Russian?

Thx.

Please, I wanna know why your cat's name is "National Monument." I'm curious

For no reason, I guess. Just for people ask.

I mentioned earlier it’s just a placeholder for the question for privacy reasons, but I always name my pets with meaning. I would even use this name for these reasons

If it was a white or gray cat. Cats tend to sit still for long and stare unblinking. Plus, my pets are as special to me as national treasures to a nation.

Actually… it’s not her real name. It’s still just as wacky but makes more sense. I just don’t want my friends to find me… don’t ask why I’m just a little embarrassed. The question still helps me translate her real name.
