55. A friend of mine in HS was a few decades ahead of you. Named him Erwin.

After Erwin Schrödinger.

His story had a bit of a sad ending. The cat was hit by a car, and a neighbor put it into a box and brought him over. He buried it without ever opening the box, theorizing that the cat "might live forever" if he didn't open it to check. He loved that cat.

Only a few people "got" the cats name without explanation though, so it was a bit of an inside joke. If I were going to name a cat after the experiment, I'd probably name it either "Schrödinger", or "Entaglement" (and just call it "Tangle" for short).
