Hello all.

We're expecting our third son this September and are stuck on his name.

Our sons are Teddy and Sonny, we've received nothing but compliments about their names and they suit them to a tee.
I've always loved (adored!) Casper, but husband says it reminds him of the ghost too much. I've told him the film was in 1995 and growing up kids nowadays won't know anything about the ghost, but it's something I don't think he can shake.
Another suggestion is Kit, however it would solely be Kit (not Christopher, Kitson etc), but i'm not sure how it goes with our boys names.
I can imagine Teddy, Sonny and Casper, but am struggling with Teddy, Sonny and Kit.

If you like the names Casper or Kit, please could you comment with your vote below. If you don' like either, please don't comment.

Thanks all :)

Be careful about Kit. It’s a sweet name but unfortunately rhymes with shit, and I have seen someone teased throughout school because of it.

I like Casper. It reminds me of a very posh chap I dated rather than the ghost.

I'm not so keen on Kit, it reminds me of Christopher Marlow who was known as Kit. I always felt he was a bit pompous but that might just be the way he has been portrayed.

Casper.

Kit is too nicknamey by itself and reminds me of a PE Kit.

I adore Kit, such a fabulous name. Was on my list but DH vetoed it.
I hate Casper and can also only think of the ghost

Casper.
Fuck the ghost!

Kit is a bit blunt.
