Caspar or Casper?

[Cbd333]

Thinking of Caspar/Casper as a name for our baby if it's a boy. How would you spell it (and also do you like it!? I do think if friendly ghost a bit but don't think a baby born in 2021 would be troubled by that!)

Thanks so much all, husband is now on board with Caspar so we have a decision! Bet it will be a girl now 😂

Oh lovely!

My partner is Kasper, Casper/Caspar was my favourite name for a son even before I met him !

Caspar

Excellent choice, OP.

Great choice!
We have a Caspar and I think I started a similar tired on the spelling when I was pregnant with him 2 years ago!
(I have to admit, a lot of people spell his name with an ‘e’ but it’s easy enough to correct them)

Tired?! I mean thread!

Casper. And I don’t like it, sorry.

Caspar

It was my favourite boys name I didn’t get to use.

I didn’t use it because I thought it was a bit too unusual, I was picked on at school for less. But now knowing the huge variety of names on a school register I’d have just gone with it as my favourite.

I’d have probably gone for Caspar, although I might have decided on er for ease.

Caspar is lovely. Casper a lot less lovely. I would judge the parents of a Casper as it's spelt incorrectly.

@Leytonladee I've got an English degree from Oxford - my spelling is pretty good. In my opinion it's not spelt incorrectly. Just like Rebekah and Rebecca are acceptable variations on the same name. You keep on judging though, if it makes you happy.

I think caspar is the spelling of the wise man no? However my autocorrect thinks it's Casper

-er. But don't like it, sorry

Caspar. I'd have thought that was the more frequent spelling as i assume it's the original.

I really like it! I think I prefer it with an a but I would check the ONS stats and if the spelling with an e is a lot more popular then I might go with that

Love Caspian also!

Agree Caspar. Less likely to get Perry as a nn!
