my cat's name is basically pronounced "cookie", but gets spelled kouki. found it a pretty interesting name because it means hope and/or happines depending on how you write it, it fit pretty well because i got him to help with my depression. and i think it worked pretty well. he is also very handsome.
My cat's name is Nancy Reagan. She's almost lived up to it. And no, she doesn't like you either and if you try to pet her you'll get what you deserve.
Some cats have official titles. I had another cat whose title was "Chief Inspector." He was known to do home invasions and conduct snap inspections of my neighbors houses. He had more friends in the neighborhood than me.
I tried to name my cat Lou (short for Lucifer) but eventually he got renamed Mao because he is loud and vocal and apparently we name animals by Pokemon rules in my house.
I recently got a cat that I named Fraldinha ("Skirt Steak" in Portuguese) because the person that gave it up had named it Li-Fraumeni after a genetic syndrome. He is now called Felipinho (Lil' Phillip), but also answers to Pest and Toe-biting son of a b****.
We've proposed "Routey" (pronounced like "Rudy") as a nickname for a future pet named "Littleton/Route 495" (named after the MBTA Commuter Rail stop). You could also do "Tony" but that's less fun.
One of my cats is called Jack, but her full name is Captain Jack Sparrow. My dad named her when he was drunk on the first day we got her, after we found her in our garage as a kitten. Idk why he chose that name but I loved it so much I instantly agreed and we overruled my mom's attempts at rejecting it. I always make sure to tell vets her full name so they can put it in her file.
This was discounting the truly lazy ones where I just add -boy, -girl, and -cat to the end which adds an infinite supply of stupid names. We took Gyaos to a different vet than our normal one once (for a paw he cut on some glass he shattered) and they acted like Mouse was the weirdest nickname in the world. We didn't return to them ever again.
My great grandmother had a cat named Dirtyface that outlived her by about a decade. It was an orange cat with super dark ginger fur around it's mouth and eyes.
We had several pets when I was a kid so here's a short list of fun names: Patches (a calico), Tom (a one eyed outside cat that yowled at the door if you let him in), TicTac (because we called him ticky-tack because it sounded like kitty cat), Twinkle (a really sneaky bastard that like to swat at your feet from under the bed), Drack (short for Dracula because he liked to bite everyone), Misfit (because she liked to squeeze her body into places she couldn't actually fit).
I rescued a cat a few years ago from a Walmart parking lot. His name is LittleFoot. He's polydactyl so he has extra toe beans making his paws super big and I thought it was ironic to call him that.
I have a cow cat with one big black spot on the top of his head and on big one on his back. He's a very big boy who looks rather imposing but he's really sweet. We call him Kenny or Kenny-chan but his real name is Kenpachi (from Bleach). Coincidentally he lost an eye to cancer over a year ago so he looks even more like his namesake now.
