If I had 3 DSs called Caspar, Joseph and Gabriel? It isn't, just names I love but does it make you think I am attempting my own nativity?

no, i wouldn't

lovely names.

Whelk · 08/12/2010 20:15

no. i don't recall a Caspar Blush
Great names!

pinguwings · 08/12/2010 20:20

I'd say yes, sorry.

Lovely names but I'd be disappointed if your dc4 wasn't then named Balthazar or Herod.

Caspar is one of the 3 kings, Whelk (rather than a friendly ghost)

doitorelsa · 08/12/2010 20:32

LOl at Herod, imagine that! Don't worry Whelk, not many people realise, which is why I asked. The other 2 are fairly obvious. I suppose Joseph is so popular now it hasn;t really got such strong associations. How about Jesus, thats nice but no good nick names...

Oooh, though call.

Great names. Love them.

On balance I think it does come across as an intentional theme. Sorry, I wish it din't IYSWIM.

Which two do you already have?

ShoppingDays · 08/12/2010 21:39

They are all lovely names but yes I would immediately see the "theme".

SpotSplatterSplash · 08/12/2010 21:43

Joseph and Gabriel... similar theme. I wouldn't cotton on to Caspar.

serin · 08/12/2010 23:10

Now, if you had a DD called Mary.........

IngridFletcher · 08/12/2010 23:14

Yes! I have 3 biblical names and people do pick up on it and I would say they are less themed than yours.

MelinaM · 08/12/2010 23:52

No, I think they're a lovely combinations for you DS's! x

sparkle12mar08 · 09/12/2010 08:00

They're lovely names, but yes I'd see the theme immediately sorry.

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 09/12/2010 08:11

I wouldn't see the theme but would think that other than caspar they are very religious names

zozzle · 09/12/2010 10:05

Yes theme is def. there!

Hedwig3 · 09/12/2010 13:51

No, but what a lovely theme anyway! Xmas Grin

belgo · 09/12/2010 13:52

Yes it does seem intentional but why not? Nice names.

WaftyCrank · 09/12/2010 14:10

I have a Joseph and a Gabriel Xmas Grin

Never had any comments apart from a lovely old lady in the doctors the other day who was very surprised I wasn't Catholic.

My DD isn't called Casper though.
