Torn between Casper and Wilfred (Wilf/Wilfie for short). Any views? Thanks x

Both are lovely, does that help? Grin

LoveB · 26/05/2019 21:18

Wilfred definitely

CalamityJess · 26/05/2019 21:25

Both great. I love Casper but also really like Wilf.

Errr... Casper!

Ipanema01 · 26/05/2019 21:26

Oooh both, sorry! I prefer Caspar spelt like this (unhelpful!)
Do you have any other children to match the name with?

MerryMarigold · 26/05/2019 21:27

Sorry think they both sound very wet fish.

soundsystem · 26/05/2019 21:37

Casper!

Malyshek · 26/05/2019 21:38

I like Caspar. Cas is a cool diminutive. Makes me think of Castiel :)

sincethereis · 26/05/2019 21:39

Cas

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 27/05/2019 00:47

Casper best of both (but don’t like either)

NunoGoncalves · 27/05/2019 01:09

Definitely Casper but prefer it spelt Caspar

BlehBleh · 27/05/2019 01:26

Definitely Casper, I struggle to picture a young Wilfred.

Bodicea · 27/05/2019 02:43

Wilfred. Wilf is a bit of a surf dude.

OwlBeThere · 27/05/2019 03:23

Neither are what I would choose but i like Casper and don’t mind Wilf but I think Wilfred is dreadful, sorry.

Fulltimemummy85 · 27/05/2019 10:48

Casper by far, Wilfred maybe with the nn freddie? Not fond though.

MrsBungle · 27/05/2019 10:50

Caspar. I don’t think Wilfred is a nice name at all.

Pinkvoid · 28/05/2019 14:05

Casper. Not a fan of Wilfred.

Clubbercised · 28/05/2019 14:07

Wilfred is one of my favourite boy names. I'd go for that.

I used to absolutely love Casper, but I've gone off it a bit. Don't know why!
