Casper for DC3 - what do you think?

I am pregnant with DC3 and we both love the name Casper - what do you all think? Obviously we know the friendly ghost! But is it too friendly ghost? We are having a really hard time thinking of another name we like as much!

Nope. Caspar is a ghost. Jasper?

I like it.

Love it.
Agree Caspar or Kaspar

I like it.

HorseyMum346 · 23/12/2023 00:18

I can’t hear it without thinking of the ghost! It’s a dog name to me

I think it's a great name. I've never though of the ghost name whenever I see the tennis player Casper Ruud! Just what a great name

I like it, and I prefer the Casper spelling.

I think it's awful. Even without the friendly ghost, although that alone would put me off.

I also prefer the spelling Caspar, and like Cass as a nickname.

Lifeinlists · 22/12/2023 23:51

It's fine but I prefer spelling it Caspar.

I think Casper is a great name!

And I don't connect it to the friendly ghost (I am not from an English speaking country, though).
