totally outs self that should say!

[whippetwoman]

I only like Casper but would spell it Caspar.
Sorry, not keen on the others. Elmore is better than Elmer in my opinion...

[sebsmummy1]

I only like Caspar too I'm afraid.

Elmer
Casper
Axel
Gustav

Interesting names! (I mean that in a good way, except perhaps for Gustav).

[Middleagedmotheroftwo]

Sorry OP, but they are all dreadful names, unless you're German or Russian, in which case they are probably perfectly acceptable.

[scarletforya]

Gustav is ok.

The rest are equally awful, sorry.

[EyelinerQueen]

They're all equal to me.

Equally awful.

[NigellasDealer]

Axel, and only Axel

[Sparklysilversequins]

I don't like any, sorry.

[RayPurchase]

Only Axel. Are you in Germany?

[squoosh]

I'm struggling OP..............

[WeeClype]

Nope all as bad as each other, sorry.

[IslaValargeone]

I like Casper, could cope with Gus rather than Gustave.
The other two, erm, no.

[HyvaPaiva]

I like Gustav and Casper because I spend a lot of time in Scandinavia where they really work. I think in other places/languages they might not sound so good.

I'm afraid never in a million years would I call a person Elmer or Axel.

[looki]

None to my taste, if I absolutely had to choose one.....ummmm...... I can't, I really don't like any of them.

[Haahoooo]

Oh dear. Well I did ask I suppose...

Dutch/Swedish background here which might explain our choices.

[MerryMarigold]

If you have European heritage, then I think I could live with Gustav. And I do like Elmer a little bit. Casper, okaaaay. Axel, no way.

definitely not Elmer - that's a patchwork elephant!

[squoosh]

Well if you've got Swedish background that changes things OP, I'd go for Gustav. Gus is a cool nickname.

Still not fond of the others though.

[Nocomet]

Given background
Gustav
Casper



Axel
Elmer is an elephant, ok a very preety elephant but..

[kelda]

Gustaaf is my ds's middle name.

Axel was also a strong contender for us.

Not so sure about Casper, it's already sounding dated.

Elmer is just awful.

[Middleagedmotheroftwo]

Agree, probably perfectly acceptable in Sweden or Holland. But if you're a British family, living in Britain, albeit of Swedish/Dutch extraction, you need to consider what works here, and I'm still not sure any of them do.

[BackforGood]

I really don't like any of them, but think (here in UK anyway) Elmer would possibly be the worst as it is only known to belong to an elephant by most people. Sorry.
