Just found out we are having a boy and we are completely torn between these two names. So straight up vote, which do you prefer (and why, if there is a reason)? Thanks!

I like both, but Caspar is my favourite!

Toilenstripes · 03/05/2020 21:17

Caspar Leon has character and style.

Caspar Leon! Very nice.

Wagsandclaws · 03/05/2020 21:20

I've got a Caspar, he is 7 now and it suits him so much.

Blursula · 03/05/2020 21:23

Caspar for sure! Beautiful name

123Dancewithme · 03/05/2020 22:49

I like the sound of Caspar Charles though

Caspar Leon

daisypond · 04/05/2020 07:49

Caspar Leon. I don’t like Franklin, so an easy choice.

Caspar Leon
Gorgeous

Caspar Leon.

I have a Caspar so I'm a bit biased!

AvoidingRealHumans · 04/05/2020 08:14

Love Caspar

Mumma4262 · 04/05/2020 08:24

Love Caspar! Not keen on any of the other names.

Clevererthanyou · 04/05/2020 08:26

Caspar Leon - two of my most favourite films ever Grin

Helskitchen · 04/05/2020 08:36

Caspar Leon definitely! We considered this for our list too, such a gorgeous name 😍

LooseyGoosey · 04/05/2020 10:38

Definitely Caspar. Franklin has such a harsh unpleasant sound to it.

QuantumEntanglement · 04/05/2020 18:19

Franklin Charles sounds like a financial institution, a firm of stockbrokers maybe. Sorry OP, but If I heard it as the name of a person I’d be picturing a pompous, middle-aged fatcat type not a baby - sorry OP.
I do like Caspar but not with Leon, it doesn’t flow right to me. Leon Caspar or Caspar Charles as a pp suggested.

HelloItsmeAgain1 · 04/05/2020 20:26

Definitely Casper Leon - it's brilliant! Never been a fan of the Franklin/Frankie sound.

decktheballss · 04/05/2020 20:26

Casper definitely

finallychangedmyusername · 04/05/2020 20:31

Caspar Leon definitely as I really like Caspar. I'm not overly keen on Leon, but is sounds really good alongside Caspar.

Those of you who have or know little Caspars, what nicknames do they end up being called? Quite like Cas for an older child/teenager.
