Felix and Casper? What would you think?

[Sunflowers1999]

What comes to mind when you think of a family living in London with two children named Felix and Casper?

Actually, if you hadn't posted in baby names, then I'd definitely think cats 🐈

Felix is a well known cat food brand in the UK!

Cats and ghosts

I's think.....what lovely names.

Nice names. They are not unusual.

Wealthy parents with kids in private school.

quite posh. I don’t mind the names at all but together they definitely give a strong ski/Tuscany/private school/nice car kind of vibe.

Cat and a ghost

I work with a guy called Kazpar, and he has a lovely cat called Felix. I’d think of them!

Posh

Erm, I'd think that you knew my mum and her cats (the cats were both Siamese).

Cat and ghost

Would be normal round here, wouldn’t think twice.

First thought ghosts, second thought cats.

Seems like a perfectly sweet and happy family!

In London probably fairly OK but they'd be very odd choices where I am.

Sylvester and Tom are next, then a bear named Pooh please and a piglet named Piglet.
If they aren’t originally from UK the names could be chalked up to just being unfortunate.

Individually fine - both names are reasonably common in my bit of London - but together they do sound slightly comical and feline. Like Tom and Jerry.

My first though would be that the family might be from Austria, Germany (esp. South) or Scandinavia, as I think that both names are common names for boys in those areas.

I think that it would be spelled 'Caspar' in Austria. It's a name I really love, actually.

I went to a German University for a while and met men called Felix and Caspar then.

Or ghosts...

I wouldn't think anything at all - those names were very popular at toddler groups near me 9 years ago (northeast London). My son has both in his school year and cubs.

Oh!! I'm surprised by some of the responses here, I think the names are lovely together and you should go for it.

Oh!! I'm surprised by some of the responses here,

They are quite predictable tbh.

In terms of the OP they wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, presume they are upper middle class &/or European. I’m in London though & Casper was a film I watched as a child so it’s pretty old!
