Its a tricky one...Not overly keen on Cas and in this family names get shortened or lengthened often,and I'd just like some upfront ideas about what these might be,or what we could swerve towards...

Ghost?

Hmm...

Apart from Cas...

Cap
Cazzie/Cassie
Casps
Cape/Caper
Caps
Cappy
Caspy

Boo
Ghost

Chaldea (I think this is what Casper is derived from)
Cassander

or, my favourite, Caspian (yes, Narnia, I know).

Or of course, you can nickname something entirely unrelated, as often happens in families (e.g. Lolly, Queenie, Bugs, due to a sweet tooth, attitude, hobby or some forgotten incident from which a nickname sticks). Or a nickname derived from the middle or last name.

I quite like Casper for a name.

Thankyou,

DD has a NN unrelated to her RN,so I know that happens,DS's name is pretty much unshortenable,so his has ended up being lengthened into a singsong rhymey sort of thing Hmm
