Nice

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 07/07/2020 09:56

I think there's a soap with a similar name... Knights Castile?

tabbycat985 · 07/07/2020 10:00

Such a beautiful name, I love it! Was one of my choices for DS but I'd imagined most people would associate it with the Supernatural Tv show which is why we vetoed it.

Supernatural?

TinnedPearsForPudding · 07/07/2020 10:04

I know a girl called Castiel so always assumed it was a girl's name

yellowfishestoyou · 07/07/2020 10:05

Someone's definitely been watching supernatural lol.

I immediately thought of castor oil. Never heard of it before.

redwoodmazza · 07/07/2020 10:21

I thought of Knights Castile too!!!

GreenEyedDevil · 07/07/2020 10:22

Love the name. Supernatural? Grin

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

Zisforstripyoss · 07/07/2020 10:24

Immigrantsong · 07/07/2020 10:24

You can still get it.

Castiel?
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.

Livpool · 07/07/2020 10:39

I loved this but DH vetoed it. I do watch Supernatural though

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.

Malin52 · 07/07/2020 10:43

I immediately thought of soap too

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.

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.

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.
