Caspian and Caspar

We like these two for boys. Any thoughts?

Caspar is the original spelling but will he get Casper all of the time?

Also which of these two is better: Liara or Eliara (the i sounds like ee in Liara, lee-ah-ra)

Caspian is more a dignified name. Caspe/ar reminds me of the ghost.

Thanks! Are there more people who’d like to comment?

we were also thinking Charlie (boy)

I prefer Caspian and Liara (although I don't really like either).

Prefer Eliaria of the girls' names. Like Charlie better than Caper or Caspian.

I prefer Caspian - Caspar is a bit friendly ghost to me.

Are Liara & Eliara real names? When I look them up all I get is a video game character. I prefer the simpler Lara to be honest, or Eliana.

Caspian makes me think of ‘Caspian Sea’, I’d go for Caspar / Casper

I'd go for Caspar because it has a bit of a history. I was put off by Caspian

Butterfingers!

I was put off by Caspian because it seemed pretty 'new' and only in usage because of CS Lewis.

Caspar
Charles - Charley I prefer. Charlie and Charley are nicknames of the handsome name, Charles. People will assume the full name is Charles.

Liara - too much like liar
Eliara - better to me
Do you like Eloise?

I like Caspian for a boy!
Not a fan of your girl names sorry!

I love Caspian and Caspar! If lean towards Caspian I think, depending on your surname.

Liara is slightly bette than Eliara (but I'm not a fan of either one really)
