Hi Angelo, the IAU has a list of genuine star names - oddly Girtab isn't on the list that I could see, but Sargas is definitely theta scorpii on the list. Girtab comes up as kappa scorpii in both Sky safari and Wikipedia, so I'd probably run with that until you find otherwise. Girtab and Sargas are relatively close together in the constellation, whereas iSco is a bit more removed.
