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

I wish I'd thought of naming my cat after game of thrones now there's so many good name options

UmbongoUnchained · 19/05/2016 12:44

Obviously you should call the other one naked

HackerFucker22 · 19/05/2016 12:46

Call her Dave!

Dave is always my shout in "naming of the cat" threads... especially if cat is female.

How cool is 'Dave the girl cat' Grin

She is a beaut

viviennewestood · 19/05/2016 12:48

Aww I like Gilly! No idea who/what that is in GoT though Grin

Gilly is the wildling who is off travelli god knows where with the fat one who's jon snow's friend.

I like matching names - I had a mum and daughter called Cagney and Lacey < shows age >

AnnPerkins · 19/05/2016 12:55

Yeah don't have names that go together, if the worst happens to one of them the remaining one's name will seem a little...incomplete.

I wanted to call our cat Phylis. DH vetoed it though.

stealthsquiggle · 19/05/2016 12:55

Sansa? Sansa and Arya would be nice names for kittens.

I say this as someone who has to explain to the vet that our cats are in fact named after obscure Egyptian gods (it was that or Norse gods, and the Eygptian ones seemed more appropriate for cats).

Byrdie · 19/05/2016 12:55

Or not exactly a wildling was she - she was north of the wall in that horrid commune of one bloke and all female relatives. She's ok as characters go. Gilly is a cute name for a cat too!

vjg13 · 19/05/2016 12:56

YANBU,

stealthsquiggle · 19/05/2016 12:59

Or Nymeria and Summer?

UmbongoUnchained · 19/05/2016 12:59

My husbands cat is called Steven which I think is a great name for a cat. He even looks like a Steven. He doesn't like Steve though. Has to be Steven.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 19/05/2016 13:00

Actually, thinking about it, she could be CATelyn Stark.

Idliketobeabutterfly · 19/05/2016 13:00

I don't see the issue unless your surname is Naked

TrillKitten · 19/05/2016 13:01

Did I miss something? Do you have a reason for being so against Stark? I quite like it :)

andintothefire · 19/05/2016 13:02

Call her Winter. Then you can say "Winter is coming" in a serious voice when you call her for food.

I did laugh at the suggestion of The Hound though.

KathyBeale · 19/05/2016 13:02

I used to have a girl cat called Dave. She was a real sweetheart. She chose us - she just came to live with us one day. We ended up giving her to a friend who was better placed to look after her and she renamed her Tabitha.

No to Stark, yes to Arya. Or what about Catelyn?

MilesHuntsWig · 19/05/2016 13:04

I thought you meant ironman/Tony stark too...

Call her Nigel Farage, we nearly did this with one of ours so we could shout "stop doing that Nigel Farage you dirty little beast" in the garden. when he got out of control.

acasualobserver · 19/05/2016 13:05

Easy solution: get two more kittens and call them Raving and Mad.

DailyMaui · 19/05/2016 13:06

Stark is not enough. My dog is called Montgomery Melon Alexander Sakatchewaya Pontypine and then double barrelled our surnames.

Mostly he just gets called Nose. Or the Pont.

Your kitten looks so cute - and there is a def beard! How about Beardsley?

MrsMoggy · 19/05/2016 13:07

Hodor

nottallatall · 19/05/2016 13:08

My friend named her cat Isis after the ancient Greek goddess and that is not something you want to be shouting out in your back garden now! Of course, she couldn't have foreseen the ramifications of future events and think she calls her in very very quietly!! Told her that's what you get for being fancy pants! Grin

So, think I would do what Holly Golightly did and just go with Cat!

ManonLescaut · 19/05/2016 13:08

Awful name.

Literally any name in the whole cast would be better.

Cleo1303 · 19/05/2016 13:08

Raving? As in Stark Raving Mad. (You could change it to Raven.)

Or Bonkers? As in Stark Raving Bonkers. You could call her Bonk for short which should amuse the neighbours when you are calling her.

Seriously I don't think they have to match. Just choose a name you like and you think will suit her.
