is it illegal to name a cat after a Film?

[Groupie]

I just got a young kitten and want to name him "The Godfather"

[McMouse]

No it's not illegal, but it should be.

[Buenchico]

You can call your cat what you like (with the possible exception of 'Mohammed', which might lead to religious tensions!).

[Groupie]

Hmm The Italians are a bit touchy as well

I suppose it takes care of your next two cats as well. Looking long term though, Rocky might be better. :)

Who would know about your kitten - and be in a position to sue to for.....using a word?

[Groupie]

Too near Sylvester, Douglas

[ChuckFickens]

And prove that a kitten may be confused for a film about the mob!

[sara3]

"din dins, The Godfather."

yep, that works!

[boxtops]

What will you call him for short? Will you feel a bit silly when they call out "Godfather Groupie" in the vet's?

[jd_1984]

Leaving aside your concerns about annoying the Mob;
Why "Godfather" anyway?

[cupid04]

Why not call it Mafia, much shorter and easier to say.

[Robinia]

lol sara :o)

Just call him TG instead

[Groupie]

I don't want to Sleep with the Fishes (fishes/cat get it)
so Puss may be better

[jd_1984]

Groupie - I hope you didnt start this thread so you could use that punchline at the end!!!

[Prudie]

Be prepared when you call him in for dinner he will reply with "just when i thought i was out they pull me back in..."

[society]

Haha I could just imagine you outside calling 'The Godfather' 'The Godfather' 'The Godfather' passers-by would think you are nuts. lol
