Of course a whole series of separate names also came by. That hardcore is not dead, according to the name Gabber. And the name Habiba (Arabic for ‘beloved’) may be due to the hit of the Algerian-French Rapper Boef. Cats also regularly get a name that has to do with food, such as pancake or drumstick
It is also striking that street language has an influence. For example, there is a Brabant cat called Fatoe, ‘joke’ in street language and another cat loves a party and is called Fissa. The name that was probably the longest thought: Ratatoetje.
