Benedict was the one name I really wanted had I ever had a boy. Also liked Dominic.

Not too sure about Caspar or Arthur.

I have a Benedict, love the name.
So, obviously that would get my vote, also like Caspar/Casper, not overly fussed on Arthur tbh.

Do you call him Barney for short? If so, I would look at NNs for sibs. Eg Barney and Ben sounds great, Barney and Cas less so.

Other suggestions: Christian? Marcus?

I love Benedict.

I've always preferred Cassian to Caspar but it's still a nice name and goes better with Barnaby imo.

Arthur I really don't like, it's one of those ironic old man's name which i'm not keen on.

Hi again, we found out today that bump is a boy, and DH has vetoed Arthur and Benedict. So that leaves Caspar! But, help please for middle name. I would prefer a longer mn if possible. Caspar seems quite difficult to match with a mn that flows, last name is 2 syllables,started and ending in L.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Not keen on any of the names really sorry - Casper ok.

MaggieNilAonSneachta · 18/01/2010 17:34

Barnaby and Gregory would be nice.

caspar is nice.

Benedict is nice but two Bs.

Arthur is not my cup of tea.

Mimi1977 · 19/01/2010 20:02

I love Arthur. Like Reuben too.

Coldhands · 21/01/2010 10:41

Sorry, hate them all.

Hulababy · 21/01/2010 10:43

Arthur

RnB · 21/01/2010 10:50

I have a Benedict so obviously love it. Caspar is a top choice for my current pg. Not so keen on Arthur though

Pineapplechunks · 21/01/2010 10:56

To go with Barnaby I'd say Caspar.

beccagrace2 · 21/01/2010 11:09

how about
casper george
casper wilf
casper james
casper frank?

Doozie · 21/01/2010 12:13

Caspar! It goes well with Barnaby. I had it on my list and DH said a big fat NO to it.

Barnaby and Benedict - too many BBBs for me, but others would like that.

diddl · 21/01/2010 12:37

Casper is my fave.

Rufus? Hamish?

mathanxiety · 21/01/2010 15:17

Benedict

KERALA1 · 21/01/2010 21:00

Arther definitely. Benedict will inevitably become Ben which is yawnsomely popular. Casper just isnt a very strong sounding name somehow. Arther is great though!

LetThereBeRock · 21/01/2010 21:02

Caspar.

DonttellDH · 21/01/2010 21:03

I love Benedict, do not like Ben, which unfortunately it will be. DH says it has to be Benedict and you know it (his words honestly!). I personally like Casper. Don't like Arthur.

smallandkind · 21/01/2010 21:04

My ds2 is Caspar. His middle name is Hugo.

I love the name - obviously, 4 yrs on and it still makes me smile. We don't abbreviate cos we like it in it's entirety. and during Christmas he loves telling people he's a king not a ghost

DoNotFeedMeBiscuits · 21/01/2010 21:04

Caspar Jonathan?
Caspar Alexander?

long boys names seem to be elluding me, sorry

audley · 21/01/2010 22:26

thanks everyone, we've settled on Caspar Gene
