Bram or Casper

[VegetableVisible]

Hello, expecting a boy in January and we are torn between two names.
Bram Elliott
Casper Jack

Any thoughts would be good

Caspar spelt properly.

Can't stand Bram.

I taught a lovely Bram and I like the name a lot but when I googled it apparently it means fart in Scottish Gaelic?!

We’re Scottish ourselves so took it off the list!

I like Casper.

Bram I would assume was a nickname for Abraham.

I like Elliott as a middle name.

I think Bram is a great name.

Bram is lovely - underused in this country but simple and probably unlikely to be misspelt. It's been used as a standalone name here and internationally enough that I'm not sure that everyone is even aware it was originally short for Abraham (so I don't think you need that on the BC unless you want it).

Casper is nice enough but slowly rising in popularity - but not yet common enough so he'll likely sometimes have to deal with misspellings (Caspar/Kasper seem also fairly well used).

Of the two I personally prefer the simplicity/nickname free elegance of Bram.

Casper

I have a 3 year old Caspar and it’s definitely getting more popular - I know 3 others of a similar age.
