Casper- yay or nay?

Our surname begins with a C, the same Company sound as Casper. Too much? Name too ghostly? Is Halloween messing with my hormones? Grin

Tbh I'm so glad that I've got a dd because I would struggle to find a boy's name that I really like.

I must simultaneously be both a snob and an inverted snob. I don't like names that sound (to me) to be really posh, made-up or American. Plus I'm a primary school teacher and that rules out a lot of names that remind me of particular children.

I think Casper is a perfectly good name. I also like Jasper.

Yes definitely go for it

LazyDoll · 31/10/2019 18:06

No definitely not don’t do it ever. *

*it’s my son’s name and I adore it. I’ve never met another and I’m happy for it to stay that way Grin

We are having a baby boy mid December, the names we like are Theo, Arthur, Charlie, James, George, Alex. Quite straight down the line. A less ghostly alternative to Casper could be Jasper? I actually love the name Jasper but DH does not!

@1066vegan my mum has just said the same... might be back to the drawing board. If you were to have a baby boy tomorrow what would you call them?

Yay, especially if he’s born today

I don't like Caspian as much somehow

Sorry if I sound like an inverted snob, but I think that Casper and Caspian are both awful.

I love it!

Only every Halloween when they're made to dress as a ghost. Seriously though, is it too ghosty?

Will they be a friendly ghost? Grin

You could spell it with a k. Kaspar is cool.
