Honestly I’d just make up a bunch of other things to call him, like “Early” or “Greyboi” and never call him the name you hate, only variations of it that still provide the reinforcement you’re looking for. Sorry your cat turned out to be named something you hate. Maybe it’ll change as he starts showing more personality, or you’ll grow to hate it less.

Before my cat died, we called her by like, 5 different nicknames, and over time she would recognize every single time and would sometimes come when mentioned. I don't know how common this is tho.
