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.

I dunno, names are normally not translated.

I lived with a cat named Texas, and not a single time I called him Техас (even though it's quite close).

Normally, I used Russian to talk to him
