Casper or Kit

[MummaUK]

Hello all.

We're expecting our third son this September and are stuck on his name.

Our sons are Teddy and Sonny, we've received nothing but compliments about their names and they suit them to a tee.
I've always loved (adored!) Casper, but husband says it reminds him of the ghost too much. I've told him the film was in 1995 and growing up kids nowadays won't know anything about the ghost, but it's something I don't think he can shake.
Another suggestion is Kit, however it would solely be Kit (not Christopher, Kitson etc), but i'm not sure how it goes with our boys names.
I can imagine Teddy, Sonny and Casper, but am struggling with Teddy, Sonny and Kit.

If you like the names Casper or Kit, please could you comment with your vote below. If you don' like either, please don't comment.

Thanks all :)

Casper.
Fuck the ghost!

Kit is a bit blunt.

I adore Kit, such a fabulous name. Was on my list but DH vetoed it.
I hate Casper and can also only think of the ghost

Casper.

Kit is too nicknamey by itself and reminds me of a PE Kit.

I like Casper. It reminds me of a very posh chap I dated rather than the ghost.

I'm not so keen on Kit, it reminds me of Christopher Marlow who was known as Kit. I always felt he was a bit pompous but that might just be the way he has been portrayed.

Be careful about Kit. It’s a sweet name but unfortunately rhymes with shit, and I have seen someone teased throughout school because of it.

I love Sonny, Teddy and Kit! I'm not sure about Casper flowing with Sonny and Teddy!

I love Casper, have you thought about Jasper as an alternative?

Or Caspian?

Kit

What about the Dutch spelling of Casper, as Kasper. When I see it with the K it never makes me think of the ghost.

Kit is fab.

Casper is ok, but I don't think it goes as well with your other names. It's just not the same kind of name.

Kit can also be Kester, but Kester doesn't fit with your other names either.

I'd go for Kit, but if you're unsure get some more ideas. I wouldn't have Casper.

I love Caspar (that spelling). My children are 6 and 10 and know who Casper the Friendly Ghost is (they watched the 2006 film this easter). Doesn't matter a jot though. My ds is named after a ninja turtle. It soon becomes the child's name first iyswim.

If you like Caspar, what about Cosmo? I like that too and it's similar in feel.

Kit is lovely too though.

Kit

Kit as in football kit?!

Definitely Caspar!

Kit

I think Kit is a brilliant name (for a boy or a girl!) good luck deciding x

Casper

Definitely Casper !

Caspar with an a, which is the original version.

Kit.

Oo, as in Kit Harrington?! Love the name - it's short for Christopher isn't it? 🤔 - somehow manages to be classic, noble yet rebellious all in one... shame we're Definitely not having any more kids, one would totally be called Kit

Another vote for Kit here, clearly!

Thanks all. Think it's going to be a while yet until we reach a verdict . My husband and I also like Barney. It was so much easier with our others sons names, we both knew straight away what 'the one' was.

I like kit but not as a stand alone name. It goes well with your other kids names though. I wouldn't get past the ghost thing either

Caspar spelt like this.

Woody?
