We have Neville Graybottom, who now is known as Bubs, or King Fluffybutt. We have Zelda who moved to my mom's. She is sometimes referred to with a sound "Gaweeee," but mostly Zelda. I named her after F. Scott's wife since I suspect she was the genius, but my kid thought we were naming her for the video game. My widowed Mom is delighted to have her sitting on her at night like a chicken. And, finally, we have Scout, also known to the MIL as "Baby". Jem, her brother died when they were kittens and she never recovered. She is bowlegged and according to my husband, the reason I got a dog.

I feel like Zelda is complicated and messy enough to satisfy any female cat as a name. Also anything that incorporates “butt”.

My cat is Bill, we adopted him from a friend and he's oldish so we kept his name. Apparently named after Bill Murray

I can definitely see how a cat reflects ‘essence of Bill Murray’ (the unblinking stare for a start). Greetings to Bill!
