チビちゃん Chibi-chan

These are all cute names. But what if you felt this ma’am needs a name that aligns with her queenliness?

Let us consider some names of legendary woman figures from Japanese history.

小町 Komachi
From 小野小町 Ono-no-Komachi, a legendary poetess of the Heian Period (794 - 1185) known for her exceptional talent in poetry and beauty. Stories about her life, including tales of passionate romances and heartbreaks, have been immortalized in various art forms.

勝山 Katsuyama
From the renowned courtesan and fashion influencer of the Edo Period (1603 - 1868) 勝山 Katsuyama, who was celebrated for her beauty, wit, and lifestyle. After becoming one of the most sought-after and admired courtesans of her time, she instigated several hairstyles and fashion trends that were imitated by both women and men of all classes. She disappeared without a trace after buying her own retirement from the pleasure district.

北政所 Kita-no-Mandokoro
From 北政所 Kita-no-Mandokoro, one of Japan's most powerful and influential figures during the late Sengoku period who married the future ruler of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when he was still a low-ranking soldier, and supported his rise to power throughout his life. Known for her intelligence, grace, and strong-willed nature, she exerted her talent as a political advisor for various major samurai families and maintained nationwide respect and influence even after her husband’s death.

直虎 Naotora
From 井伊直虎 Ii Naotora, a female Japanese daimyō (feudal lord) during the Sengoku period (1467 - 1573), renowned for her leadership in a time when women rarely held such power. She became the Ii clan's head after the untimely deaths of several male successors. To protect her family’s domain, she governed with a combination of diplomacy and strategic marriages, ensuring the clan’s survival amidst the era’s turbulent power struggles.

巴御前 Tomoe Gozen
From 巴御前 Tomoe Gozen, a legendary female warrior of the Heian period (794 - 1185) in Japan, renowned for her bravery and martial prowess. Tomoe was said to be as beautiful as she was fierce, excelling in archery, swordsmanship, and horseback riding. In the epic Tale of the Heike, she ripped off an enemy warrior’s head with her bare hands to help her lover, Minamoto-no-Yoshinaka, escape.

These names are totally compatible with those moments when you feel cute aggression towards your cat and you need a cuter-sounding way to call them. Abbreviate them as follows.
