We had kind of decided on Francis for a boy, but I am just not 100% convinced (partly because dh and I pronounce it differently, which I know would irritate me).

DH suggested Caspar this morning. I like it a lot, and am not bothered by the friendly ghost association, as I think it's not something that this generation will really know about.

Would be grateful for any thoughts.

See, I don't mind the shortening Frankie, but don't like Frank, it just sounds middle-aged to me, and I just can't love it.

Home, sorry to hear that, it sucks. Baby is likely to have quite olive skin though, so don't think that will be an issue.

I think Caspar is the "correct" spelling, although it would probably make my Dad pronounce it Cas-PAR which would annoy me...

Love Caspar and much prefer it to Francis, which will be shortened to Frankie or Frank.

I like it

Caspar or Casper?

I love Caspar. If I had another I would consider it.

Much prefer Francis, and Frank is an excellent nickname.

I have very pale skin and I used to get bullied and nicknamed Caspar. I know what you mean about the generation thing but I'm only 23. It will only take one cruel child to sing the Caspar theme tune and it will stick!

I love it!

I like it. I know a Caspar, he's about 7 I think.

I really like it, unusual but recognisable.
