I love Supernatural Grin Love the name too.
My DD is called Arya - yes because of GoT but hey I was named after a book character too so who cares, & I was & still am teased a bit about it? If you like the name, go for it.

Sorry but i think it's awful! Sounds like it should be an oil company.

It's biblical my cover is God I like the Hebrew names it won't age and it sounds nice its a name that will travel well

Considering Supernatural as a series is now finished, after a while the name connection will be lost. So if you like the name, go ahead. It was in the bible far longer than the TV series and over time, that’ll be the connection. (Never heard of the soap until reading this thread.)

No

The sounds in it are pleasant, but to me it sounds like it could be the name of a French soft cheese roulade.

CornedBeef451 · 07/07/2020 10:52

I love it but then I am a fan of SPN.

It is nearly finished though and not many people watch it so I don't think many people would really pick up on the character name, particularly in a few years.

rabbitwoman · 07/07/2020 10:51

It's very very cool. And Supernatural absolutely rocks and Castiel is a very cool character, and I absolutely love the name for a girl as well.

SpencerReidsMistress · 07/07/2020 10:46

Castiel from Supernatural. No I wouldn't he will be stuck with a name where people will instantly go oh your parents were definitely fans of supernatural.

Malin52 · 07/07/2020 10:43

I immediately thought of soap too

Twisique · 07/07/2020 10:40

Castiel and Castile are pronounced differently. I like it and it can be shortened to Cas. Hasn't Supernatural finished now? Wont be thought of in a few years.

tillytoodles1 · 07/07/2020 10:30

No, because in a few years when the show is no more, then he'll be stuck with a name where people go eh?. Like the Arya's and Sansa' s from Got.

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 07/07/2020 10:28

You can still get it.

Castiel?

@TinnedPearsForPudding

I know a girl called Castiel so always assumed it was a girl's name
That's interesting, i wouldn't have thought of it for a girl

No. Too swanky and out there. Sorry.

Zisforstripyoss · 07/07/2020 10:24

Oh I've never heard that, I really like it.

HalfBloodPrincess · 07/07/2020 10:23

Reminds me of Heaven Leigh Casteil from one of my favourite books as a teen. Was always going to name a daughter after her. I didnt Grin

GreenEyedDevil · 07/07/2020 10:22
