Casper or Kit

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 :)

I like kit as a nn, it's a bit out there as a full name though and many will assume his 'real' name is Christopher but it would work well considering your other children's names. Don't like Casper and like your DH I can't shake the friendly ghost connection!

I love that name but unfortunately Toy Story is still here, there and everywhere. Confused

Casper was in my list of names. Love it

I love kit but I agree with pp about being careful of what rhymes with it. My name rhymes with lots of things (none as bad as shit) and I was bullied mercilessly.

Casper is safer, but I like it less (and also just think ghost)
