If I had 3 DSs called Caspar, Joseph and Gabriel? It isn't, just names I love but does it make you think I am attempting my own nativity?

I'd say yes, sorry.

Lovely names but I'd be disappointed if your dc4 wasn't then named Balthazar or Herod.

Caspar is one of the 3 kings, Whelk (rather than a friendly ghost)

LOl at Herod, imagine that! Don't worry Whelk, not many people realise, which is why I asked. The other 2 are fairly obvious. I suppose Joseph is so popular now it hasn;t really got such strong associations. How about Jesus, thats nice but no good nick names...

Oooh, though call.

Great names. Love them.

On balance I think it does come across as an intentional theme. Sorry, I wish it din't IYSWIM.

Which two do you already have?

They are all lovely names but yes I would immediately see the "theme".

Joseph and Gabriel... similar theme. I wouldn't cotton on to Caspar.

Yes! I have 3 biblical names and people do pick up on it and I would say they are less themed than yours.

Never had any comments apart from a lovely old lady in the doctors the other day who was very surprised I wasn't Catholic.

My DD isn't called Casper though.
