HelpRe: Leo on a girl
in reply to a message by VeKalvin
Well, seeing as how it's a cat, and cats rarely ever admit to even having a name, much less whether the name is used for the opposite sex cat (and cats never suffer from gender confusion issues) and considering that I don't happen to think that pets ever need "full" names, and also taking into account the fact that Leo means lion .... I don't see anything wrong with it. It could also be that Leo's people couldn't tell if she was a male or female as a kitten (sometimes tricky) and by the time they found out differently, Leo had already stuck.
Edited: However, Leo does not make a good name for a female human. On a human it sounds like something Leona would insist on being called as a moody, self-styled "tomboy" teenager, to be contrary, and would eventually grow out of.

Ooh... I missed the part where it was a cat. I was so confused by your first sentence!

I'd like to publicly announce that this was my exact intention when naming my Leo character. Except she's too old to be behaving that way, but too disoriented to realize it. She started out as the villain, actually, and then grew on me awkwardly so now I kind of awkwardly like her name.

It's actually truly wretched. I wouldn't wish it on a dog.
