My guy Rupert is from the great British cartoon character Rupert Bear (for all you Yanks - he's been around longer than Mickey Mouse). Corgis don't have tails so they have little bear bottoms.
Riley was because it had to be a name that did not sound like any of the cats so she would know it when she heard it. I had a couple in mind for her, but when I saw her, she was Riley. I always told her she was "living the life of Riley"
Jemma was a hard one for me. I kept coming up with names that sounded too much like Riley. I wanted a Welsh or English name and Jemma is old English for little dove. If I had got a male he would have been Paddington - so he and Rupe would have the same last name - Bear.

The Cats are:

Ella Fitzgerald - my favourite singer
Kenya - had just come home from Africa when I got him
Triston - he has three legs so he needed "tri" in his name
Sprint - rescued him from the engine of a Chevy Sprint
Tucker - have no clue - I met him and called him Tucker instantly and out of the blue
