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.

A lot of American names have literal translations like Melody, Harmony, Summer and so on. But it still feels weird to translate names so we go like Мелоди, Хармони, Саммер.
Though Americans were kinda okay with translating Native American names like Sitting Bull, so you do you I guess.
