I have to say they're both popular dogs names, so that's what comes to my mind.

Thanks

Caspar is a ghost.

Hugo has floppy hair and is frightfully posh.
Caspar could be some kind of Russian assassin.
They have a yummy mummy and daddy works in the city.
Probably nouveau riche.

Thanks

Love Caspar! Would assume he's pretty cool 😊

Hugo makes me think Hugo Boss and all those parents who named their children after designers 🙄e.g Armani, Chanel (or chanelle as my daughter's friends spells it)

Agree, Hugo is “frightfully posh”. And probably works in banking and is a bit of an overbearing nob at his son’s school sports matches.

Caspar - we have a big German expat population around here, and Caspar is a little blond boy with nice manners and a mum on a cargo bike around here.

Honestly I think it was a posh family that is a bit try hard. In the same category as Tarquin.

Foppish, pretentious

They both sound posh to me. I would expect them to be the type of boys who play polo, go to private school etc and parents are rich.

I know several Hugos, none of whom are posh so I wouldn't think that. I also know a Caspian who is definitely posh though!

Names that used to be posh and are now quite standard and currently very popular?

Like calling your kids Arthur and Oscar 15 years ago

I don't think of the posh aspect, I think of Hugo as a huge, overweight lump- Huge-O

Casper- I think of the ghost!

Sorry, but these were my honest 1st thoughts.

Hugo - red trousers and boat shoes. I think it’s very trendy now but I can’t like it because of this association!

Casper - friendly ghost. I think it seems a bit affected as a name (unless Norwegian or something) - as if the parents were trying hard to be different, but not too different.
