First of all, kudos and thanks to you for being a compassionate person and adopting the kitten. Second, I have major allergic reactions to cats and dogs but that's what allergy shots and Benadryl are for, although admittedly some people can't handle the dander even then.
As for cats' names, I consider all my guys and gals people too, so all four dogs and eight cats have human names. Not made up shit that requires a letter by letter spelling to make it understood, but a real name like Alex, for my orange kitty for example.
I dunno, I just like using people names for my critters. YMMV.
