Herbie, Wilfred or Casper??

[Pawpatrolmummy2]

DS due this summer. Torn between Herbie (Herbert as given name but known as Herbie), Casper or Wilfred (Wilf, Wilfie for short). Any thoughts??

I think Herbie is great! Cute on a baby & cool on a teen / adult. But I must be a 'certain type'

Lovely names. I like all of them but probably prefer Caspar and Wilfred just because although I like Herbie on a little boy, I think Herbert is opening up to bullying. Caspar is quite cool.
Wilfred gives lots of options, I know a little Wilfie with sisters Florence and Matilda, lovely!

Wilfred. Absolutely love it. Herbie isn't a proper name imo. Herbert is ok though. Casper is nice too although reminds me of the ghost.

Sorry hust seen that it would be Herbert. That's fine.

Casper by far.

Although I prefer the spelling Caspar.

Thanks for your feedback!! Appreciate they're not everyone's cup of tea but it's helpful to know which are the frontrunners! I had my doubts about Herbert and Casper is probably my favourite. Any suggested alternatives? Don't want a name that everyone else has you see!

I don't like any of those three. How about an "eminent Edwardian" name if you like quirky but traditional

Leonard
Cecil
Ronald
Grenville
Arnold
Roger
Rudyard
Kenneth
Gilbert
Edwin
Ernest

I really like the name Casper. What do people think about the name J'Marcus?

Marcus is one of my favourite names. I'm hoping the J' was a typo?

I thought this was a totally mumsnet type list but from the look of the comments obviously not !

I quite like Caspar it sounds cool
Herbie I love but I’m a Jazz fan....although I have named my puppy Herbie & have met 3 others (puppies)
Wilfred I don’t really like

I really hope J’Marcus isn’t a real name ???

People are suggesting Cecil as a better option than Casper?! Seriously???! I must be very out of touch (quite likely)

My eldest DS is called Casper, and we definitely weren’t trying too hard

I love Wilf!

I like Caspar, it was on my list but I was going to spell it Kaspar. Wilf is probably more ‘socially acceptable’ though!

If you must use one of them, Casper is the better option.

People are so opinionated! Just pick a name or go away! Herbie!

Caspian as a riff on Casper? Cas for short.

Omg poor child.

TBH, they both sound ugly to me, but I figure if that's the kind of name OP likes, at least steer away from "friendly ghost" and possessed VW beetle names.

Herbie Absolutely

Casper

They sound like the sort of names you'd give a hamster.

Nay, nay and thrice nay. They're all awful.

My friend has 2 cats called Wilf and Caspar

Don't like any of them.
