Thoughts on Casper/Jasper?
What do they evoke?
Would like something kind of fancy sounding (other child's name is mildly aristocratic - miss me with the judgement, they're just the sort of names we like/have in the family)
Also, I know Casper reminds everyone of the ghost, but I don't really see that as a big deal 🤷‍♀️

Wonder if both names are just a bit too common now, seem to be quite a few Jaspers around anyway.

Would love your thoughts, or alternative ideas.

Thanks! :-)

I like both - and even though I grew up watching Casper (both cartoon and the Ricci film) I don’t automatically think of the ghost anymore.
