We tried to give our young cat a respectable name, perhaps from a Greek or Hittite king, but none of those lovely names would stick to him. The only name that did stick was Mogget, even though he looks nothing like the (sort of) demon-cat for which he is named. He's been trying to live up to the name in other ways, instead, though.

As for the old cat ... the danger of having an old cat is that you can wind up spend years with a cat named for one of your childhood fanfic characters. Though I like to think maybe Tia is just short for Tiamat, and I just didn't realize it yet in my early 20s ...
