Famous surname names for girls?

Ok this is a bit of an odd one but we own 4 male cats! And they all have famous surname names lol and we are rescuing a girl one now and I want her to fit in. Our dogs follow their own theme and so do the Guinea pigs so don't want her left out of this but can't think of any famous surnames that would fit a girl?

I know this is for an animal but I was listening to a podcast with Kristen Bell and I knew her daughters are Lincoln and Delta, but her niece is COSBY. How about that??

Made me think of Bill Cosby, obviously, and made me think it’s definitely a good idea to steer away from any celeb names. Scandals every which way!
