Warning: contains certain name-based prejudices! Interested to know if people would associate the following spellings with the things I do, as well as your actual preferences.
We have just about decided on Casper (or Kasper or Kaspar or Caspar) as a boy's name. But I'm struggling with how to spell.
To me, Casper looks the most normal - BUT it also sounds very American and friendly-ghostish. Caspar (as in Caspar David Friedrich) looks more European (which we'd prefer!) but I'm worried it looks like a bit of 'youneek' spelling. Kasper is probably more recognisable but through many conversations with a primary school dad and several friends, I've developed a bit of a prejudice about K names - especially for boys. Kaspar if probably more recognisable as the European variant, but also looks a bit youneek (and therefore even further towards the Kyle/Kai/Kane end of the spectrum!)
My incorrigible snobbery aside - what do people think?
