Is your dog named "Queequeg" by any chance?

I presume their fish is named "Choate".

To go with the X-Files theme it might perhaps rather be "Big Blue"... :-)

Oh, I took the cat's name as astronomic jargon and went with a niche, academic term for similar. (ie. completion, fulfillment, alignment, etc.) 🙇🏼‍♂️🤘🏼

I think the X-Files episode was named after the astronomic constellation.
So we both might be right. :-)
Only OP can tell...

Everybody is right! Except my fish doesn't have a name. It's a little yoyo loach I got to get rid of an invasive red ramshorn snail population that came in through some mail order aquatic plants. They killed everything except my Java ferns. And he outlived everything else in the tank.
