Names
In japanese Ken means strong, healthy. The name also comes from an Celtic/Gaelic origin and can mean handsome. Or in english the name is sometimes the short form of Kenneth.
Siberian
Living with a cat is quite pleasurable, but living with a Siberian cat is a rewarding, life-changing experience. A confident, problem-solving house
clown, the Siberian can be your best friend. This breed is medium-large, with the overall appearance of great physical condition, strength and
alertness, modified by endearing facial expressions. The Siberian is a natural breed and comes in all colors, from colorpoints to brown mackerel tabby.
If you share your home with a Siberian, you will never be alone.

Gentian
It was really hard trying to find any symbolic meanings behind the gentian flower. I've come across lots of different meanings and such.
Some places list the Gentian as connoting "You are Unjust".
I found however the gentian was named after Gentius, an ancient king of Illyria (now coastal Croatia) who used the flower for medical purposes.
After using Google some more I got a lot of different meanings from injustice to loveliness, integrity, virgin pride and intrinsic worth. I also came across a site saying that when the flower is closed it means "Sweet be thy dreams" and when the flower is fringed it means "I look to heaven".
And that is really all I find without getting too technical.
