Caspar will usually be incorrectly said as "Casper the friendly ghost"
Caspian is not all that well used and seems ok to me.

Caspian! Sounds so romantic and dashing

Casper = friendly ghost

@namesneeded the caspars you’ve met must be a bit of a statistical anomaly then! Casper is outside the top 300 and Caspar outside the top 600 names - there’s barely any - even names like Alan are more popular!

I much prefer Caspar to Caspian as Caspian to NMMR is too frilly and feminine and with 3 syllables will definitely be shortened to Cas which sounds too much like Gas for me

Caspar.

Caspian I think, just because Caspar is so trendy at the moment, I'm not sure it will age well. Lots of Caspars and Jaspers at baby groups near me, but haven't heard any little Caspians
