Caspar and Halloween

I have finally found a name I love and one which we both agree on... Caspar.
However I'm due next month and there is a possibility he could arrive on halloween. Would it be cruel to still call him Caspar if he is born on halloween or am I over thinking this?!

I think kids think of Kasper Schmeichel these days. Only us oldies know Casper the ghost don't they? My kids wouldn't.
So do I, but in a completely different way!

I think it's better than a Summer born in December

It’s perfect! Either that or Gomez!

We’re in the same position and are going to go for it if it’s a boy.

Is Caspar still popular? By the time DS reaches school age will anyone even remember it?

Hmm no I wouldn’t.. cute for a little Halloween baby but will be a subject of endless jokes in school. I actually like Casper as a name but when I asked my DH he said: Jesus Christ like the ghost god no!

🤣 Im sure he'll thank you when he's school-aged. Not.

That’s really cute for a Halloween baby 😍

Haha, I kind of love it for a Halloween baby.

If you're feeling unsure though maybe have a back up up your sleeve just in case.
