I have often considered Caspar as a possible name...it both looks and sounds beautiful imo however there is that blasted cute ghost which I think is a major factor in this name not being more popular!! Though in the last year I am after hearing of 4 little Caspars is it starting to become more acceptable as a name......what are your thoughts????? Smile

Love it, my most favourite nephew in the world is called Caspar, he is adorable, its a great name :)

and yes the ghost is CaspEr, do be prepared for people to spell it wrong tho, my sister complains of this!

i dont think its very popular you could have a look on that thread recenlty where you could type in a name and it tells you how many children have been called it in various years? not sure what thread it was, sure someone can find it and link tho :)

I really like it... Considering for if we are having a boy. I am thinking Casper though.

The friendly ghost does spring to mind, but don't think that is a big deal.

Keen to hear if it is getting very popular though!

I love it. I don't automatically think of the ghost,not that the association would bother me.

The friendly ghost is CaspEr Wink

I know someone who named their child Casper and i didn't like it but have got used to it, it's not offensive that's for sure. Wink

I too have heard it more and more recently.
My initial thought is ...the friendly ghost, but I do quite like it!
if it helps, 2 children I know with this name spell it Kaspar, which maybe takes it away from the friendly ghost association a little bit?
