Not a cat, but I adopted a dog whose name was Doc. I started calling him Docky and that became Ducky and then he started responding to that so now that’s his name.
He has a brother named Dexter that I obviously call Goose lol

This is Izzy.
AKA Isabella, Queen Isabella Greypelt, Izzy Busy, Isabella Busy Boo, The Puke Monster and The Monochromatic Quadropus. At least one of those has one of those inane songs to go with it.
SIMBA -> SIMBABIMBA
yeah, that works nicely
We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.
We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."
Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.
Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒
Gadget, or sometimes just Gadg, more often Gadgey-poo. The other brat is Nova, or most commonly Nova-beans. https://youtube.com/shorts/Mn643qQTSlI
My cats name is Jimmy and sometimes I call him Oggy, especially when he's chasing bugs (no cockroaches here but I hope you get the reference)
One of my cats is called Pipping but I call him Chonky (He's actually not chonky but behaves like he is.)
Big Chonk Energy
big chonk energy is real!
We have a runt who barely weighs 7 pounds but eats like a fatass. When I do the rounds filling bowls, she follows me to eat the absolute freshest food just placed.
Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.
Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!
Gusfraba (gusi, gus) and genebre (gine)
On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he's either a babyman where he's all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he's a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he's hyper.
On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by 'Frey', but when she's in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her 'Turbo Cylinder' because she's very tubular in shape at high speed.
I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.
The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”
The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”
Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot
Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains
Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".
Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.
Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.
Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.
My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.
