Today at the Tabby Cat Club, they are hosting an event called "What's In A Name?" where they are asking to know the origin of our names. Daphne and Chloe were originally supposed to be called Elizabeth and Mary, but those names didn't really fit. Can you imagine Daphne as a Betty? Chloe as Mary?
After searching for some names that were more unique and more fitting, the focus of the name search was on Chloe's calico beauty. Names like Callie and Cleo were bantered about, until Chloe was decided upon. Researching for famous Chloes in duos led to discovering music for the operetta "Daphnis and Chloe." The music wasn't very appealing, and the story didn't exactly fit (ancient Greek kids abandoned in the wilderness, raised as shepherds, almost get raped and abducted by pirates, then find love with each other), but the name Daphnis was adopted to Daphne, and that's how Daphne and Chloe got named.
