yes, I did name my file server after a tennis player

Heh. And this is strange how? Three of our four cats are named for

* a male Canadian figure skater (Elvis STOJKO)
* a female Japanese professional wrestler (Sugar SATO), and
* a gangster profiled in Coppola's _The Cotton Club_ (George1 "Big FRENCHY" DeMange, as played by the incomparably phlegmatic Fred Gwynne)

Skye came to us already named, although we may have orthographically added a final "e" because "Dowager Princess Skye" looks so much better on paper...

1A previous cat actually named George was so named because of this line from a character in a Bugs Bunny cartoon: "I will love him and hug him and pet him and squeeze him and I will call him George."

I didn't consider it strange so much as "yes, I went with something that corny".

As for cats ... what counts as a "strange" name for a cat?
