As long as he never moves to Australia he’ll be fine . One of the biggest supermarkets is Coles!!!

Casper and Cole are both GREAT names. I cannot believe they aren’t more popular

I’d probably choose Cole

EleanorShellstrop100 · 08/11/2019 10:24

Agree they’re both really cool

CallMeRachel · 08/11/2019 10:27

I'm not a fan of one syllable names as I think there's always a temptation to add a silly 'y' sound on the end as it's just so short and sharp sounding.

It also depends on your local area and accent. I do prefer Cole to Casper though.

Casper is borderline strange, I immediately think of the ghost.

Cole, I'm biased as I have one!

Thetimetravelerswife · 08/11/2019 11:19

Prefer Casper

diddlediddle · 08/11/2019 11:47

What are your other children called? Casper and Cole seem like totally different styles to me!

whereishappyat · 08/11/2019 11:48

I love love love Cole!! We were going to have a Cole but changed at last minute to Luca!

123Dancewithme · 08/11/2019 12:21

I prefer Casper

meandmyboyz · 08/11/2019 13:36

Thanks everyone , quiet positive . Those that have coles do you have a good reaction to it , I work in a primary school and we've never had a cole whilst I've been there and I don't know any .

My sons are Harrison and robin so I don't think we have a name style as such we just go with names we like xx

Cole is terrible.

But that is the nature of personal choice, we don't all have the same.

obviously · 08/11/2019 13:55

I only know of one. It's one of those more unusual names that isn't weird. I like it.

BonBon411 · 08/11/2019 14:03

I’m from the states and Cole is more popular... I like it a lot!

BonBon411 · 08/11/2019 14:04

Casper reminds me of the lil ghost 👻

MissMarks · 08/11/2019 14:04

Don’t like it. Think it is tacky.

Stollen23 · 08/11/2019 15:50

To me Cole sounds like coal. Not a great association!

And prefer Caspar.

Leopardprintboots · 08/11/2019 16:19

I love Cole wish I’d thought of it for my son but I’d never heard of it til recently

It’s unusual but not crazy - perfect.

DailyFailAreTwats · 08/11/2019 17:09

Old King Cole? Coal? Not for me, far prefer Caspar.

Frith2013 · 08/11/2019 18:31

Coal miner?

Coal skuttle?

Awful. Casper is fine.

user1493494961 · 08/11/2019 20:54

Much prefer Casper, agree that Cole's a bit tacky.

FishCanFly · 09/11/2019 12:39

Love Cole Blush

VenusClapTrap · 11/11/2019 19:35

Hate Cole, Caspar is lovely.

BrunoLovesMe · 11/11/2019 21:29

I much prefer Cole.

DramaAlpaca · 11/11/2019 23:19

I'm not mad on Casper, but it's much nicer than Cole.

Theportissunny · 12/11/2019 03:07

No sorry I just think of a lump of coal even though the spelling is different, they sound the same.
