I have found out that when it comes to calling animals with both their name and the sort of animal, we use the following pattern:
1) Name + the + type of animal
E.g.: Shaun the sheep, Woof the cat, Blanka the dog.
And I have some questions, viz.:
a. Are we forbidden from calling animals with both their names and types of animal using other patterns, viz.:
2) Type of animal + name, e.g.: cat Woof, dog Blanka;
3) Name + type of animal, e.g.: Woof cat, Krash bunny.
b. Can we use pattern 1) for people and other things, e.g.: Serge the mister, John the detective, Elisabeth the queen, George the rock (some people are even prone to give names to their rocks...)
