I know they are very different but I love both equally and I am struggling to pick
which would you pick??

Caspar! Or Francis. But not Frankenstein, Frankfurt, franks-n-beans...

I love Frank.

But then I really don’t like Caspar at all, so I’d pick almost anything ahead of that! I know I’m in the minority on MN.

Caspar. Really don’t like Frank. It makes me think of Frank Butcher and frankfurters.

Caspar makes me think of Caspar David Friedrich who painted an unironic Lone Brooding Man that makes me want to laugh.

I'm afraid I find Frank a truly awful name and such a horrible noise. I do, however, like Francis.

On the other hand, Caspar is a wonderful name.

Francis 🥰

I had both these names on my list!
I actually really like Frank (Franklin).

But Caspar is my favourite (I am biased) & I much prefer it to the Casper spelling.

Choose what you feel is right for you

Oh gosh neither sorry OP! Both really awful sounds

@TeaAndCake456
thank you, would not be using Franklin as the name as this has a completely different feel to Frank for me.
If using a longer version would use Francis

I’m old enough to remember when Frank was an awful name. It reminds of Some Mothers do ‘av em.
I also knew a truly vile man named Frank so it’s a no from me.
Casper is much better.

Caspar! I don’t think of it as a ghost, it’s a movie from 1995. Firstly, the ghost movie was spelt differently + no one his age will know anything about it. I don’t think Frank is a nice name at all for a little boy, it’s more an old age pensioners name.
