Casper for DC3 - what do you think?

[Oranesandlemons]

I am pregnant with DC3 and we both love the name Casper - what do you all think? Obviously we know the friendly ghost! But is it too friendly ghost? We are having a really hard time thinking of another name we like as much!

I really like it - and it’s becoming quite popular, so you don’t need to worry about friendly ghosts

Do spell it Caspar if you are in the UK though, or he will spend his entire life dealing with misspellings

Casper is a lovely name. I wouldn’t worry about the ‘friendly ghost’ connection, that movie is almost 30 years old so todays children would have no memory of it as it was before their time.

The 3 Wise Men didn't appear until 6th Jan.

It's a nice name OP. I prefer the Caspar spelling but Casper and Kasper are used.
Casper seems to be the most used.

Great name.

I like it

My youngest is called Casper - he's 10 He has had a tiny amount of stick about the friendly ghost, but he's a well-liked character, so it's no bad thing. We had a bit of a debate about the spelling, but the "er" ending is slightly more common, so we went with that. I thought we would shorten it to Cass but we quite literally never do 🤣

Great name.

It’s not a bad name. It got really popular by me at one point a few years back but died back down again.

I mean when was Casper the friendly ghost actually last shown? 90's?? It won't be a consideration for kids these days

Not a bad name at all but I definitely prefer the Caspar spelling (I used to know a rather nice Scandinavian person called that). If I think of any cultural association, I think of the wise men.

We have chosen Casper too, I prefer Caspar but going with the most common spelling for ease.

My parents and friends don’t really like it which has thrown me a lot, but it’s my favourite name! Lovely IMO and I think Cass is a sweet nickname.
