Casper- yay or nay?

[winterplease]

Our surname begins with a C, the same Company sound as Casper. Too much? Name too ghostly? Is Halloween messing with my hormones?

DS is 10 and I just said we should have watched Casper tonight and he said “never heard of him” so you might be safe with this generation!

I say the film was years ago just started watching it on itv2 🤦‍♀️ I do however think Casper was one of the wise men also.

Meandmyboyz you are correct. Chosen for one of my biblical trio of boy child’s not because of ghosts friendly or not. We were choosing between Caspian, Cassius and Casper. Have not once regretted our choice and he’s 10 now.

I love it! Once knew a very lovely cairn terrier called Casper. And if your surname starts with c sound, Casper Carter or Casper Cooper or whatever it is, it sounds like a superhero name!

Caspar was one of the wise men.
Casper was the ghost.
Whichever spelling, I like it! Not as much as I like Caspian (which I know you said you don’t like) but I still think Caspar/er is a strong name and it will be unlikely he will come across many others.

Love it! My eldest DD was going to be Caspar if a boy, it’s a really cool, solid, strong name IMO.

Casper/Caspar is top on my boy's names list, I think it's lovely!

I've always loved this name!!

I really like Caspar, and whether I put it with a C surname depends on the overall flow. It could work well.

Not a fan sorry. At the end of the day it’s you and your partner’s call, no other opinion matters.

Nay.. friendly ghost is all I think of

I LOVE Casper. I have two girls so unsure if I will ever be able to use it, but my ‘indulgence’ name is Casper Romeo

I really really love it, my eldest would have been Caspar but dh didn’t like.
Never met any Caspers with a C in real life, but there are quite a few Eastern European Kacpers around where I am.

No I don't like it

Quite like it. Alliterative names can be cool.

Really like it. In terms of pop culture, there are far worse connotations for names that are now very popular. Scarlet/Charlotte “the harlot”, for example.

I would go for Kaspar. Because the sound of the name Casper is lovely but if you spell it differently, people won't associate his name too much with that little friendly ghost. So Caspar, Kaspar or Kasper
