Am expecting DS2 in June and we are struggling with names. I came up with Caspar a few weeks ago and really quite like it. DH is a bit 'meh' about it, but admits he can't think of anything else, and if I like it, he's happy to let me choose. The only thing he has offered is Alexander, which I'm pretty indifferent to.
DS1 is Leo, which miraculously DH and I both managed to agree on quite early on.
Our surname is a little bit French sounding, although we are both British. Middle name is likely to be William (a family name)
We are expats in a very multicultural city in the Middle East, so there's no chance of anything we chose sticking out or being considered a bit weird at nursery or school.
Family are back in the UK but siblings and cousins have all gone fairly traditional for their DC - Thomas, Jack, Charlie, Hannah, Emily etc. I am imagining my parents and grandparents thinking 'wtf' when we announce it.
Is Caspar weird? Am I going to regret it? I really like it, it works well with Leo and our surname, I don't think it will age and if I heard it, I would think 'cool name'.
