Let's see if the internet is any help.
Um. Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC.
Natter 44BC: Et Tu, Buffista?
Er, in 44 AD, "Emperor Claudius returns from his British campaign in triumph." Nah, nothing there.
Messier Object M44 is also known as the Beehive Cluster.
Natter M44: Oh Beehive!
That would really appeal to the astronomy/Kenneth Williams fans.
Ooh, 44 is the international dialling code for the UK.

With that poor showing, I retire from the field.
Natter M44: Oh Beehive!
Perversely (?), I actually like this one. But does messiest object 44 have a name?
Natter 44BC: Et Tu, Buffista?
That's random enough for me. I had thought about the 44 dialing code, but didn't see a thread name there.
Natter .44 Magnum: Do you feel chatty, punk?
That's fun.
I think Natter 44 will likely be Stompy's Surprise because not a whole lot of consensing going on.
Damn, I just remembered - isn't Dirty Harry's a .357 Magnum and not a .44? Crap, I kinda liked that one. Ce la vi.
OK. We now have a title for Natter 357. Which we should reach in 2033 or so.
Natter .44 Magnum: Do you feel chatty, punk?
I almost never bother to vote anymore, but I like this one.
No, it's a .44 Magnum.
And the imdb confirms it. Of course it also confirms I got the quote wrong...
