Well, cat trainers say that cats seem to respond better to an 'eee' (long e) sound in their name. This is a quick list of male names from recent shows:
Avenue Q = Nicky, Trekkie
Chicago, 42nd Street = Billy
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels = Freddy
Hairspray = Corny, Seaweed (ok, it's a stretch)
Jersey Boys = Frankie, Tommy, Joey
Spamalot = Patsy
Sweeney Todd = Sweeney
The Color Purple, Urinetown = Bobby
The Light in the Piazza = Giuseppe
The Odd Couple = Murray, Vinnie
The Phantom of the Opera = Piangi
Throroughly Modern Millie = Jimmy
Gypsy = Herbie
Oklahoma = Curley, Ali
Thou Shalt Not = Camille
Funny Girl = Nicky
The Rocky Horror Shpow = Rocky
Dame Edna = Barry
Death of a Salesman = Willy
You're a Good Man Charlie Brown = Charlie, Snoopy
Cats = Macavity, Mungojerrie
My personal favorite from above is Giuseppe, but I really love JerseyGirl's "Jerry".
