Caspar

[YouBastardSockBalls]

For a boy. Obvs.

Yay or nay?

have you just called me an older parent?

Caspar is a ghost but the name itself is ok.

What about caspian or cassius.

Caspian - Narnia and breed of horse
Cassius - Jo Whiley's kid

But then
Caspar - friendly ghost

Soooooooo......

I still love it. Now to convince DH......

Prefer it with a K. ( like Kasper Schmeichel )

I'm an 'older parent' and I have one of these just out of his teens. We got the friendly ghost stuff when he was first born because the bloody film came out a couple of weeks later, but not really since then. I think he likes his name. He makes skate and rap videos and uses several variations on the name as kind of trademarks. He doesn't like it when we call him Cassypoos

Yay to Caspar! Great name. Considered it for DS. I know one who's in his 40's, he's very distinguished. I think it's a name that would suit any age. And I would never think of the friendly ghost...

I know a kasper in his early 30's. Awesome name and suits him really well. :)

If I had a boy tomorrow I might name him kasper. I taught one a couple of years ago. He was polish, lovely and no one on the class had even heard of the ghost. Go for it

My DS is named Caspar, he is 3 and I haven't had one person mention the friendly ghost connotation. He was due on Christmas Day ( was actually born 30th of Nov ) but I wanted a Christmassy name for him and Kaspar was the name of one of the three wise kings ( different spelling obviously ).

It's still quite unusual and i really think it suits him, also shortening to 'Cas' sometimes is quite nice and I think will be quite cool when he is a teen. Good all-rounder i would say :-)
