Casper or Wilfred

[Pawpatrolmummy2]

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

I love Wilfred. Casper is OK.

Love Wilfred, definitely one I would consider for a boy.

Both names are very 'now' so will date.

Caspar (this spelling) for me. I love it.

Love them both but Wilfred has the edge for me.

I have a five month old Casper! We've had very mixed reactions about his name but we like it😂

I love both but would probably go for wilf.

I dislike both, but Casper is the least worst.

Neither but Casper if i absolutely had to choose one.

Of all the boys' names in the world those are the two you've come up with?

Neither. And Casper the friendly ghost springs to mind.

Caspar not Casper. Wilf is ok too.

Casper the friendly ghost springs to mind.

At least he was friendly 🤷‍♀️

Casper

Neither my favourites. A bit wet and 'posh'.

Jasper a little better? Or just Wilf?

Casper.

Both awful. Seriously, names that are going to get them picked on at school. Don't do it!

@moondancer73 I somehow doubt it compared to the several thousand names used a year Caspar is pretty ‘normal’.

Wilf wilf wilf!!!

I hardly think they will get picked on at school, they are perfectly normal names for this generation. I know a young Caspar and at least 3 little Wilfreds at the moment.

No one can name a twat called Wilfred though! Wilfis a great abbreviation and he can do the eye roll at Wilfred without it being too horrendous especially when they do War Poetry Yr8 Autumn term at school..

Casper’s ok but s.ightly more try hard,

Wilf!!!!!!

I wouldn’t use Casper if he is likely to have pale skin, in case he gets bullied (though do kids even know about Casper the ghost now?). Wilfred makes me think dog because of the tv show

Wilf or Casper would definately get picked on in central scotland, especially wilf.lt might work if you live in a posh london suburb and have got his name down for Eton i suppose.

Wilfred is just old man though isn’t it? I can’t imagine looking at a newborn and thinking Wilfred.. reminds me of Wilbur the talking horse. Caspar is decent, i don’t think this generation would link it to Casper the ghost?
I don’t agree that there are lots of nice boys names. I struggled to name my son 7 years ago. There are so many lovely and different girls names to choose from. So many boys are boring or ridiculous
