I've had lots of cats and have been known in the past for my funny cat names. Can't name them all, but a few are:
Tater Dude, Crazy, Punkin Darlin', Pretty Kitty, Stinkie, Thumper or Thumpie, Rat (pronounced Rat T), Ug-a-bug, Tripper, Skeeter, Lucky Duck, Fleas, Crackers, and many more.

Well...Squirt is kind of unusual, as now he weighs about 13 lbs....

Joey doesn't sound all that whacky, except that his name comes from the fact that his hind legs have always looked like a kangaroo's. He was a tiny (1.9 lb) kitten at the time, hence he was named for a baby kangaroo....a joey!

Tamale. My late husband, Russ said that if I brought home any more cats, he was going to make tamales out of them. I rescued a Long-haired fellow, named "Gizmo" and rechristened him Tamale.

Weird cat names I've encountered:

FlatHead: his head really was.
Lucky Peanuts: My sisters couldn't decide which name they liked better, so they combined them.

I admit "Pan" is an odd name for a girl kitty. She was named for the Greek god Pan, god of the wild things, before we knew she was a girl. Her tabby "M" markings looked like (and still do look like) a pair of goat horns on her forehead, that was how she got her name.

I have a 6 year old cat now that I named "Uncle Louie"
My boss has two cats, one is named "Hey" and the other cat is named "Girl". She is going to get a third cat, I told her to call it "Yugo" then she would have cats named"Hey Yugo Girl"..LOL! Her cat "Hey" got outside a last week and she could not find him, so she got in the car rolled down the window and drove up and down the street with her head out the window YELLING...Hey...Hey...Hey...Hey...Hey..can you imagine what her neighbors must of been thinking....LOL

My Dad named one of our cats Sodium because she was grey, the same color as the metal, and another one of our cats Crisco, because she was white (this was before butter-flavored Crisco).

We also had a manx named Manxie and two other manxes named Stubby and Bunny.

My parents still have an orange male tabby that my sister and I rescued from the local animal shelter. We were arguing over what to name him when I finally said, "Fine! We'll name him after the shelter!" and she said "Fine! That's his name!" So his full name is:

Jefferson County Animal Shelter

LOL--we call him Jeff or Jefferson most of the time though.

Well, Sugarly is named after a character in a book . Dr Sugarly Dobbs was the character's name and he was a vet for mythical creatures, unicorns, etc. She would have our most unusual name.

The Doctor. One of Craig's cats, and it was HUUUUUUUUGE!

Kramer - One of Craig's cats that lives in Oregon with Craig's mother, absolutely BEAUTIFUL cat.

Hale-Bopp - Named my kitty that was born the week the comet came after the comet. That was the most precious cat ever.

Catzilla - Tiny little solid black kitty that I had that was literally Catzilla. My legs still bear scars where she decided to suddenly use me as her personal tree to climb *wince*. Such a beautiful baby.
