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

I know more Felix’ amongst Dc school groups than cats.

Nice names - wasn’t Caspar one of the 3 Kings?

Same

Bloody hell, what a mean thread. They are perfectly nice names.

There are three boys called Felix in my son’s year at school. Don’t know any Casper’s.

Bloody hell, what a mean thread. They are perfectly nice names. For cats.

And humans.

I only know one of each. One is my age, and a younger Caspar, who's lovely. They're regular names now, but weren't then. My first thought on the names then was that Felix doesn't shorten, and it didn't go with his surname. I liked Caspar especially as it really suited him (his older sibling's name was something completely unremarkable).

Upper middle class and not all that original. I also much prefer the spelling Caspar.

Love these names

My first thought was cats

If I knew a family with boys called this, I'd think like a pp said, that they're a middle class cliché.

I'm not pregnant but they are both on my list for hypothetical baby no.3

I think they are nice, normal names. I know DC with both these names.

I like these names.
I nearly called one of mine Felix, as I like that it means happy. And Caspar, spelt like that, is the name of one of my favourite artists, so that's good too.
