Jakub or Kacper? Maybe Olaf?

I know a few Olafs (in Poland) and it's my favourite, but it won't work in the UK, will it? Frozen...

If not, it's between Jakub and Kacper.

Which do you like more? Thanks.

Do you have ties to the country the names come from? Kackper sounds like a recipe for a hard time. I know in fifteen years we will all be multi global but really, I still have a hard time with my name, which is Scandinavian, phonetic and unsurprisingly Christian. And I'm forty plus.

Kackper. Why not go for Kasper/ Kaspar. It will save him a lifetime of explaining 'no, not Kack, kas... Oh forget it'

I think it's likely to be more annoying for your ds to have to keep explaining how his name is pronounced than to have people constantly mentioning Olaf the snowman.

Could be wrong though!

I prefer Olaf to either of the others. People who get to know your child will associate the name with him not the frozen snowman, and by the time he's in school Frozen will already be 7 years old.

Kind of? It's quite hard to explain (in words) really, but I suppose a bit like "kackper" but not quite, it's a bit like that, but with "kachper"... Not very good at explaining

It would sound like "kachper"

Kacper

How do you pronounce Kacper? With a s sound in the middle? Or a ck sound? I think it could cause a few issues

Jakub is great.
