Just put way too much thought into a throwaway joke about how #Grahamstodon is a purebred Australian Fool, and his pedigree name is Meridionali Stultus Griseoviculus

I wanted to blend the tropes of cat pedigree names (breeder name/cat name) and Roman nomenclature (praenomen, nomen, cognomen)

I don’t know why I picked #Latin as the lingua felem nomen

So my cattery is branded as Meridionali Stultus – which sounds like a plausible name for a breeder of Australian Fools – but also Graham is a member of the gens Stultii and his praenomen is Meridionali

although in Latin maybe Meridianus would be a better praenomen

Anyway, one possible etymology of the name Graham is ‘grey hamlet’, so I have made an equivalent cod-Latin mashup as his cognomen
