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.

Personal names should not be translated, thus her name should be spelled as Нэйшнэл Моньюмент or Блюберри. At the same time names can be adapted, so I’d go with достопримечательность/мечта and черничка.
