Found a better base for this than Gengai's one, but didn't want to repeat the animation with him. That was my first mistake.

One of my favorite things: a name that's also a common word! 玉虫 can be the surname Tamamushi or it can mean jewel beetle. So it's an animal name too! If we want to shoehorn in color names, 玉虫色 [たまむしいろ] refers to an iridescent color.
玉 means jewel or ball. It’s read たま, -だま, or ギョク. (It also often refers to testicles, so it's a struggle for me not to think of 玉虫 as sperm: bugs that live in your balls!)
虫 is new to this blog! It means bug/insect, and it can also refer to temper. It's read むし, チュウ, or キ. Careful not to mix it up with 史 (meaning history/chronicle; read シ).

Today I learned that the earliest named cat that we know of belonged to Puimre, Second Priest to Amun during the reign of the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III. Her name is generally transliterated as either Nedjem or Nojem; either way, it translates to "Sweet One" or "Sweetie."
