Unfortunately it seems that way. If we all voted for just one name, there might be a competition between the Sphinx and whatever other name. However, we’re all too opinionated for that it seems XD, Consider this pole a ‘Sphinx (character)’ win and a fight for second place. At this point I’ll be nicknaming the cat Jinxy in my art but tagging it ‘Sphinx (character)’
What really drives me up the wall is that there are like 8 suggestions in the finale that are just names ripped from Egyptian history. Bastet, Nefertiti, Sekh, Isis, Cleopatra, Giza, Rosetta and Sekhmet. Do people fell clever browsing Wikipedia for name ideas? We’ve all taken grade 6 Social Studies you guys.
At least Catshepsut, Nekopatra, Cleo and Meowpatra are arguably original.
Then there’s Jinxy, Sphinxy and Phix. which as far as I can tell are actually created original.
