Names!

When Catseye first came to the mansion Catseye did not like human names because human names confused Catseye because they did not mean anything so Catseye named people what they look like or what they do but now Catseye understands that naming people after what they look like or do is like telling them that they are a thing and that it is mean and Catseye does not want to be mean to people at the BigHouse or Catseye's other friends in the BusyTown so Catseye is going to ask what people want Catseye to call them if they like to be called by their real names to be nice or if they like their special name Catseye gave them.

Also Catseye learned that peoples names are veryveryspecial to people sometimes because of the people who named them what they are named but Catseye does not know why people have their names and Catseye wants to understand if people want to tell Catseye why they have their special names Catseye would like to read, nyah!

Calliope was the Greek muse for epic poetry, and is most well known as being Homer's muse. So she inspired him to write the Illiad and the Odyssey.

But my mom didn't exactly name me after her. Instead, when I was born I was all pink and screaming and I was LOUD. And a calliope is a type of instrument made out of whistles, and it's really really loud. So I was a Calliope when I was born.

And Callie is a shorter version of that, which I like because Calliope can sound a bit long and old some times. I don't know.
