IIRC, there was a study done with cats hearing recordings of random voices saying random words, random voices saying the cats’ names, owners’ voices saying random words, and owners’ voices saying the cats’ names, and then carefully measuring the cats’ responses.
The findings pretty convincingly showed that cats full well know their own names but choose to ignore the calls.

We had 3 cats at one point and I trained them to all come to me when I said, “C’mere, kids!”
Mine has sometimes come when I called her
Mine usually does, but she actually loves me, she’s like a loyal dog.
That’s what you get from rescuing a kitten from the road.
