Matt. It was his name when we got him as a kitten from the rspca and we liked it. Also known as Fat Matt.
According to the Daily Mail today, Japanese researchers have discovered that cats do known their names and respond to them with ear twitching or head movement, whether their name is said by their owner or a stranger.

Sidney - referred to as "His Highness" by me and "Shitbag" by DH. He was named by the children who had him before us.

Preceded by:
Kiwi - because he's an All Black. Yes, it's clever. Thank you.
McVitie - because he was a ginger nut.
Jordon - came with that name.
Asti - short for catastrophe.
Suki - my grandparents' beautiful docile tabby who loved having her belly rubbed. No idea where the name came from.

Never so much as a twitch when we say Sid's name. He has ignoring us down to a fine art.

The other's I think do/did recognise our voices. Kiwi knows my car and will always come out to greet me when I go to my sister's.

Jordon knew his name and would come when called. He was more like a loyal dog than a cat.

Meg

She was a rescue cat and came with her name. I would have called her Beryl otherwise.

Johnny
Pippin
Millicent
Doopsah
Lancelot & Guinevere
Elizabeth, known as "messy Bessie"

Can you tell which ones my parents named or were my adulthood cats and which fell victim to my first ever attempt at cat naming at the tender age of three? Grin

RickOShay · 14/04/2019 23:37

Blue Moon and Sapphire.
They are Burmese sisters. I worship the ground they walk on.
They tolerate me and love the dc Grin

Cheddar & Magic and the much missed Maia. This week they have all been given a middle name; Adeodatus. As I went to a talk about St Augustine and that was the name of his son. I thought it would suit them. And it means gift from god or something similar. Which they are.

Toddlerteaplease · 15/04/2019 00:11

I can't Take credit for Cheddar's name unfortunately.

Frasier and Niles: lilac point Siamese brothers that were bought to keep our 12 year old Siamese company when our big soft 9 year old Siamese was killed in a hit and run Sad

She hated them for 4+ months but at least she stopped her "lonely" yowl Grin (So she was happier for the last 2 years of her life Smile)

The boys are well named: Frasier is bigger, more muscular and more rumbustious than Niles, who is slighter, with a finer face and more needy Grin

They were 6 months old when we got them and were called Merry and Pippin at the time which didn't suit them Wink

RickOShay · 16/04/2019 09:07

Ooh photo please prettybird

RickOShay · 16/04/2019 09:08

Ivy looks very queenly

prettybird · 16/04/2019 13:01

Just after we got them, aged 6 months and a recent picture Smile
