He's too fierce-looking to name him anything less respectful.

Second choice would be "Orion" (the Hunter)........

"Callisto" is a play on the word calico, so that might work. If she were a dog, "Patch" would be an obvious choice due to her markings; so I would suggest "Patchouli" as a feminine and frankly, musical variation.

For those who like human names for their animal companions, the Irish version of Catherine, i.e. "Caitriona" springs to mind. And because the black markings over her eyes look like a mask, the Italian name for the city of Venice, "Venezia", might be appropriate, as the city of Venice is known for its beautiful Carnival masks.
