i have always wanted a baby Kasper. Sister didn't know this so just a coincidence she announced her newborn Kasper 3 months ago. I didn't mention anything but smiled and kept quiet now feel really sad that the name i love so much i can't use.

I don't want my baby to have the same name as a cousin so won't use the same also wouldn't want to upset my sister. It would also be confusing as similar surname both double barrelled starting Smith and second double barrel is the same letter. So need a new name.

It's the Kas sound i love and Kasper sounds so strong. I had planned on the nickname Kaspie. I can't find a similar varient i love as much. Kassius, Kassian, and Kassiel just don't feel as strong. Hoping someone here may know a variant i hadn't thought of?

Caspian. But I second that if you're not currently pregnant with a boy, I wouldn't worry about it.

Dangerous game, given Greta Gerwig is adapting ALL the Chronicles of Narnia into films…

Kash?

Are you very close with your sister, so will end up shouting "Kasper, Caspian, time for tea" which might get right on your wick.

Is it better to now go for something totally different?

Kaskae (Kas-KAY) it’s an Inuit name that means chief or leader

Tricky as I don't think there are many, have added both girl and boy below as I'm presuming its a boy but not 100% sure! The C and K are pretty interchangeable.

Cassandra
Cassie
Connie

Cassian
Kasabian
Caspian
Christopher
Kassius
Bastian

yes but very early stage so not sure on the gender!

I like castiel but it puts me off that it's hebrew roots as i have no connection to that.

My family is Greek and Italian and DH is Indian

Unless you're currently pregnant with a boy it's a non issue. Maybe you'll have a Cassandra.

Are you pregnant? If so, congratulations! If not, I wouldn't worry about it until you are.

Edited - sorry I repeated a name you’ve already mentioned.

Currently watching Supernatural, so my suggestion is Castiel.
