Which do you prefer? We're american--is Barnaby a bit too british? What kind of person do you imagine a caspar/barnaby to be?
Thanks!

btw, the middle name will be Lloyd

I much prefer Barnaby to Caspar - it's on our own long list. If you like Caspar what do you think of Jasper?

Can you be too british, I don't think so.

Are you living in America?

When I hear Barnaby I think 'bear', when I hear Caspar, I think 'ghost'. But once you know a child with any name, it quickly loses other connotations.

Barnaby is great. Would be on my list but my childhood best pal (a blue roan cocker spaniel) was Barney.

Barnaby Lloyd. Nice.
