@VenusClapTrap

Makes me think of the Virginia Andrews book as well. Not a good association.
Ooh I read some of those in my teens, the flowers in the attic ones

Never seen supernatural so no associations there for me, love the name!

SnowdropFox · 09/07/2020 22:45

Love it but i do have a crush on Misha Collins!

OuiOuiKitty · 09/07/2020 22:39

I thought of soap too. Good for killing bugs on plants.

@OhYeahYouSuck

Awful and too try hard to be different.
Ive never really understood the MN thing of madness being too "try hard". Don't we all try hard to find a name we like

@Buffyanne

It sounds like castle but there is something super cool about it. I like it but probably wouldn't be brave enough to use it.
We do love castles too 😊

My only association is the dysfunctional ‘hill scum’ family in a Virginia Andrews novel.

Love Jude.

My friend has a boy named Castiel. I’ve loved it since I heard it!

Supernatural.
Dd is a huge fan of the show.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 07/07/2020 16:00

Waaaay too much for me tbh.

MikeUniformMike · 07/07/2020 14:32

A plain no from me. I thought is it Casty-el or Cast-eel, but it sounds like the soap

Bouledeneige · 07/07/2020 13:26

Never heard it before. How do you pronounce it? Cast -ee - ell ? Or Casteeel?

DesmondTheMoonbear · 07/07/2020 12:39

That is I'm not a fan of the name.

DesmondTheMoonbear · 07/07/2020 12:38

I'm not a fan and even though I don't watch and have never watched Supernatural, I'd immediately assume that you were a fan.

APurpleSquirrel · 07/07/2020 12:29

@UrsulaPandress It's pronounced (in the show) as Cas-te-el.

Livpool · 07/07/2020 12:19

Hi Op - went with Jude in the end. I was very keen on Jensen for quite a while too.

Never wanted Lucifer, Dean or Crowley though 😂

UrsulaPandress · 07/07/2020 12:11

How do you pronounce it?

CornedBeef451 · 07/07/2020 12:09

I think this thread is self selecting SPN fans/viewers because of the name, in the wider population very few people would make the connection.

I much prefer the name Castiel to Jensen.

MamaDane · 07/07/2020 12:04

Bit cringy because of Supernatural unfortunately, as it's otherwise lovely.

I did suggest Jenson but dh said no 😂
I am a Supernatural fan but it's more a heard it there father than banned him after the character

Also Supernatural hasn't finished yet. They still need to complete the last half of the final season once they are allowed to post-Covid, so there will be a few more episodes left to come.
