Jasper or Kaspar?

One off my list, one off DHs, both go equally well with the surname. Any preference or prejudice against either of these?

... Of course baby may well be a girl and then we're back to the drawing board... Grin

Could be worse: I could spell it K'as-par. Now that's chavvy. Grin

Umm you did say it was chavvy though.

DessieLou · 30/08/2012 14:24

I realise that Pickles I just prefer the C spelling. Smile

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 30/08/2012 14:08

Kaspar is a legitimate spelling though. Its not like she is after calling him

kkkasparrr or somesuch.

I'm afraid I agree with the spelling issue. Definately Caspar not Kaspar. If I'm honest it seems a bit try-hard/chavvy with a K (I am a snob, sorry! Blush). I once met a baby Caspar and it really suited him. Out of the 2 though I would go with Jasper, I love it and I've not met any.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 30/08/2012 13:54

If you like the spelling go for it. MN are not fond of the letter K in my experience.

I dont mind a K. It is more usual in the UK to spell with a C so as long as you dont mind having to spell it out now and again I dont see the biggy.

No links To Eastern Europe, I just like that spelling Blush Consensus seems to be against it though!

Kaspar is the eastern European spelling, very popular in Poland. Do you have any links to eastern Europe?

MrsHelsBels74 · 30/08/2012 05:29

One more vote for Jasper!

emmyloo2 · 30/08/2012 05:22

Jasper is fabulous - I love this.

Caspar is also nice.

Kasper or Kaspar looks made up to me...

Badgerina · 30/08/2012 02:29

Caspar.

kawaii · 29/08/2012 19:59

Caspar is great

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 29/08/2012 18:51

Prefer kaspar. Mumsnet don't like ks though I'd think it was spelled with a c too!

Kayano · 29/08/2012 18:50

Caspar

Shybairns · 29/08/2012 18:49

Neither. Both too ponnsy.

javotte · 29/08/2012 18:36
