Just found out we are having a boy and we are completely torn between these two names. So straight up vote, which do you prefer (and why, if there is a reason)? Thanks!

Agree with everyone. Caspar Leon sounds awesome. Now I'm tempted to have another look at my own shortlist !

Caspar Leon. Very cool name.

@KarenJohnson2321 you should hear some of the names where I live if you think either the name Franklin or the name Caspar will get a child bullied. Hands down my child will have one of the blandest names at school 😆

Those of you who have or know little Caspars, what nicknames do they end up being called? Quite like Cas for an older child/teenager.

Caspar Leon definitely as I really like Caspar. I'm not overly keen on Leon, but is sounds really good alongside Caspar.

decktheballss · 04/05/2020 20:26

Casper definitely

HelloItsmeAgain1 · 04/05/2020 20:26

Definitely Casper Leon - it's brilliant! Never been a fan of the Franklin/Frankie sound.

QuantumEntanglement · 04/05/2020 18:19

Franklin Charles sounds like a financial institution, a firm of stockbrokers maybe. Sorry OP, but If I heard it as the name of a person I’d be picturing a pompous, middle-aged fatcat type not a baby - sorry OP.
I do like Caspar but not with Leon, it doesn’t flow right to me. Leon Caspar or Caspar Charles as a pp suggested.

SpratsOnParade · 04/05/2020 18:16

Definitely Caspar. Franklin has such a harsh unpleasant sound to it.

Wow such an overwhelming preference for Caspar! Thanks for all of your opinions!

I like both equally they are awesome, good luck deciding 😊

LooseyGoosey · 04/05/2020 10:38

I like both but Caspar Leon is super cool!

Helskitchen · 04/05/2020 08:36

Caspar Leon definitely! We considered this for our list too, such a gorgeous name 😍

Caspar Leon - two of my most favourite films ever

Mumma4262 · 04/05/2020 08:24

Love Caspar! Not keen on any of the other names.

AvoidingRealHumans · 04/05/2020 08:14

Love Caspar

Caspar Leon.

I have a Caspar so I'm a bit biased!

Whatsyourflava · 04/05/2020 07:54

Caspar Leon
Gorgeous

daisypond · 04/05/2020 07:49

Caspar Leon. I don’t like Franklin, so an easy choice.

Adelais · 04/05/2020 07:48
