Got obsessed DP insists on naming one of our 2 girk kittens Stark Hmm

I thought it was Stark, after the Ben Elton book - I am so out of touch. I am no help , I like both names. Get one more kitten and use both names?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 19/05/2016 12:27

What are you on about?! It's a brilliant name! Grin

groovergirl · 19/05/2016 12:27

Why does he want to name her Stark? Is it a friend's name, or some book or movie character?

squoosh · 19/05/2016 12:28

What's the other kitten's name?

Stark is a bit crap, but then so is Arya. I'd call it The Hound. T'would confuse people.

It's Game of Thrones related. I don't watch it but he bloody loves it. We agreed that we would name one kitten each but I have no idea what to call mine that would go with Stark!

No not stark! Something terrible will happen to her!

viviennewestood · 19/05/2016 12:31

Apart from arya but I'm not really a fan of GoT.

Naturally if you have a Stark the other kitten should be Lannister!

Tully? Karstark?

Not Frey.

squoosh · 19/05/2016 12:35

I hate matchy pet names. You should pick a name that's completely at odds with Stark like...........Agatha Del Froofroo.

Amelie2Be · 19/05/2016 12:36

I'm with EatShitDerek - I thought it was after IronMan too but then I don't want GOT so I guess that doesn't help - sorry.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 19/05/2016 12:38

If I got a cat I'd call it Chairman Meow.

viviennewestood · 19/05/2016 12:39

Agatha Del FrooFroo Grin

This is Stark..

I have a cat called Stark! After Tony Stark though.

squoosh · 19/05/2016 12:41

She does have a look of doom about her so maybe Stark is apt....

:) our kitten is called Gilly :) I like stark too though

MrsMoggy · 19/05/2016 12:42

Snow for the other name (Jon snow) Snow and Stark?

meowli · 19/05/2016 12:42

Gorgeous cat! I think you'll grow to like the name. Eventually you won't be able to imagine her being called anything else.

fortifiedwithtea · 19/05/2016 12:43

YABU you agreed he could name a kitten. The names don't need to go together.

Pet names tend to get corrupted in our house. Millicent has become Millie, Millie Moo or Millie Pig (she's a guinea pig) . What if you are the same?

Imagine calling your cat in from the garden, Stark or Starkey or Starkers Grin Bet your neighbours will be Confused

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 19/05/2016 12:43

Call yours Grim or Bleak Grin
