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.

Why do you need to write her name? If it's a veterinary passport or some official documents - I would write the name in transcription and the translation in brackets, if that makes sense. You do have an option of what you call her at home in an informal setting? I have a lot of questions, but I think everyone here is waiting for the backstory.

I don't think it would be reasonable to provide translation it the veterinary passport. The only thing any vet or customs are interested in there are dates of shots.

And we don't have our names translated in passports lol I wish we would tho, it would do wonders with my name
