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!"
