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

  1. Caspar
  2. Casper
  3. Jasper
  4. Kaspar

(if people are going to mention the ghost they'll do it from the sound of the name rather than the spelling IMHO. And no-one will think of the film after a while)

Kaspar as in Hauser, not Casper as in ghost for that very reason! seems a pretty even split so far though.

We're really struggling to find anything tbh that we agree on, if only DH would come to his senses and just let me pick the names Smile

Caspar (not a K!)

Or Jasper. Neither grab me.

K/Casper - the friendly ghost??? You KNOW he'll get called that!

Jasper is miles better, though a bit pretentious imo

Jasper

Kaspar is you're a bit Scandi.

Casper is you're not.

Don't like Jasper.

Kaspar - I know a gazillion Jaspers and no Kaspars. I do prefer the Casper spelling though.

Jasper all the way!
