Griffin or Caspar ( not Casper)

FredaFox · 04/10/2020 00:56

Caspar not Griffin, don’t lumber the poor sod with that

Paddybox · 04/10/2020 01:08

Sorry these all sound like you're naming cat. I guess Gus is the best in your list

UserABCDE12345 · 04/10/2020 01:39

None. Griffin sounds completely made up.

I can’t choose out of Casper and Gus. Sorry not helpful Blush

MercyBodle · 04/10/2020 05:21

I really like all those very much, so hard to answer. Probably Gus by a pinch.

My first thoughts are dragon, ghost, dog.

Gus! Although I do think of a movie character when I hear it but it is one of my favourites!

Griffin - reminds me of Harry Potter
Casper - becoming popular

Cinderella or The Witches?

Caspar (with an a), is so cool and how many kids these days have heard of Casper the ghost anyway.

Tweetypietwo · 04/10/2020 08:57

@022828MAN Cinderella! Don't like the witches so only seen it a few times, it still freaks me out 😂

I love Caspar, I wanted it for ds

mylittleavalon · 04/10/2020 09:07

Griffin

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 04/10/2020 09:08

All a bit no sorry-they sound like school houses

LarkDescending · 04/10/2020 09:10

I love Caspar (this spelling) or Gus short for Angus. Not mad about Augustus or Griffin.

Phoebeboo · 04/10/2020 09:13

Caspar with ar!

AltoCation · 04/10/2020 09:59

Griffin or Gus.

MikeUniformMike · 04/10/2020 11:17

Griffin

Firebird83 · 04/10/2020 22:44

Casper. I like Augustus but not Gus.

VenusClapTrap · 05/10/2020 08:41

Gus, but I’m biased as I have one. He’s just Gus on the bc - it’s fine as a stand-alone name.

They sounds like the names of an upper-middle class public schoolboy whose parents work in media.

micc · 05/10/2020 10:21

Griffin has my vote :)

Changedname81 · 05/10/2020 11:54

Griffin
Gus (but not Augustus as he was a horrid boy who fell into a chocolate river) Grin

This 100%. Has he already been enrolled in Eton?
itsjakeandamy · 05/10/2020 12:12

Gus then Casper then Griffin.
