I know they are very different but I love both equally and I am struggling to pick
which would you pick??

The first thing I thought was Casper the friendly ghost too! 👻 sorry!

Frank but could it be Frankland or Francis to be shortened to Frank?

I love Casper and think Cas is fine for short too.

Frank is very much not my taste so hard to judge it objectively. It is harsh sounding and tricky for anyone who doesn’t say their Rs easily.

I vote for Frank!

Don't like Caspar because it looks like it's spelt wrong and also, friendly ghost.

Frank

I really don't like Caspar. Its very twee.

If I had a gun to my head and there were only those two options, I think I'd have pick Frank. But I'd have to nickname him Frankie.

Probably Caspar, Frank just makes me think Frank Butcher

Caspar. Would Francis be an option? I much prefer it. Fran for short

SomethingBlues · 07/10/2024 19:08

Caspar for me too.

IHateWasps · 07/10/2024 19:07

Caspar is lovely. Definitely Caspar.

Frank is such a harsh ugly name.

Both great names. I slightly prefer Caspar. You could wait until he’s born and see which suits him best.

SkaneTos · 07/10/2024 18:30

They are both good names!
I think I prefer the name Frank, because I knew someone with that name, but Caspar is a nice name too.
