It's not uncommon for writers to work in references to their real lives in world-building details or character names, the most obvious example being Luke Skywalker himself (who bears essentially the same name as his creator, George Lucas). True to form, Dave Filoni has done this in more instances than just that of Bo-Katan.
His wife's last name, Convery, was used for convorees, a species of owl with curious Force attunement that appears across the animated "Star Wars" universe. One particular convor, Morai, even pops up in "Ahsoka" Season 1, having watched over the eponymous character for many years.
Another animal named after someone from Filoni's past is the tooka, a species of cat that first appears in the final episodes of "The Clone Wars" Season 5. The creatures are shown residing in the depths of Coruscant's lower levels, and their name comes from a cat Filoni himself once had named Tuuk.
Meanwhile, despite being Bo-Katan's namesake, Anne Convery isn't as inundated with "Star Wars" material as you might think. "The house is mostly a Star Wars-free zone, and that's not even my active doing," she told Syfy Wire in 2020. "I think Dave needs a little space from it, too, and he has his whole office down at work to populate with Plo Koon memorabilia."
