Caspian

[ladybirdsaredotty]

What do you think? I posted a thread a while ago where it was included in our longlist of 10 names. It's now on a shortlist of about 5 (the others are less out-there). I can't decide if it's a bit TOO pretentious. It may well be a middle name if we don't go for it as a first name.

I've searched but other threads about it are pretty old.

I know kids called Orlando, Arabella, Hermione etc and live in an area not known for its pretentiousness. Can't decide if we'll regret it if we DON'T call him this (both love it), but obviously I really don't want to saddle him with a name he hates.

Thanks for any comments (don't save my feelings, I'd rather know now!).

I think it's a bit OTT but ok. However I have a friend who called her child this and all her friends call him Casper by accident - no one can seem to remember it's Caspian!

See, this is my issue with it. It's definitely a marmite name! Thanks all, this is really helpful.

User I love your son's name

I also prefer Cassius but Caspian is lovely, very regal.

I do always wonder what a name might be shortened to by friends and family - Cas, maybe, or Casp, in this case?

Just added this one to my list! I love it! Thanks OP!

It's a pizza chain around Birmingham....
