How did a pet you know get its name? Was there a story behind it?

B Natural answer

A friend of mine has a cat named Bruno. She said she chose it after my uncle, who always wore a brown hat and joked that everything should have a strong name. The cat also had huge ears, so the family kept saying he looked funny because of his big ears. In the end, the name felt warm and a little old-fashioned, which matched him well. He came home from the shelter with that name tag already on, so they just kept it. Now Bruno responds to it immediately.
