What do everyone think of the name Casper??

[ToManyKids]

Hiya, I absolutely absolutely love the name CASPER but dp isnt so keen, he says people will take the mickey (although i dont see why that should concern him!) my argument is people dont always like everyones names and you cant please everyone, some people that have called my choice have children with names i would never use!!!! what do you's think? is it that bad?????

Friendly ghost and Kaspar Hauser. BUT, I do like it.

Ghost, sorry

The friendly ghost.

Caspian is better.

very cute and friendly but unfortunatly a ghost.

OOOOh Caspian is nice

Actually considered it for one of my boys but was dissuaded by their father because of the friendly ghost. Don't know any boys with this name so don't know about the teasing.

ditto all the friendly ghosts

How is Caspian better than Casper??

Thats all i keep getting ~ ghost jibes!! i think he was a cute ghost, haha,

Well, it reminds me of Knights and the sea and stuff. Which is better than plump rather dappy American ghosts.

I like cassius, i love cass for short, another reason for choosing (or wanting ) to choose it

Caspar.

Honestly, that little vowel makes all the difference.

I like it.

Why should people taking the mickey out of his son, not concern his Dad? [hmm}

My husbands nephew is called Casper so I think it is a lovely name.

When I first met him of course I made the connection to the ghost for about the first minute. Now I make the connection to a gorgeous little boy.

I would go for it

I dont mean he shouldnt worry about mickey taking, i mean over a name. We have a daughter called cordelia and thats very unusual and he let that name go ahead!! I think the jasper name may be coming from the twilight sage i love jasper but all my children have C names

I dont know what to do, decisions decisons.....

caspar might be a better way to spell and say it, i never thought of that

Caspar is a more usual spelling - I do like the name though (and Jasper too). I know nothing of Twilight however.

thumbwitch is right, Caspar is the more usual spelling. And Twilight is a load of dreary dross and reallly if anybody associates Jasper with such a pile of fetid nonsense then they aren't worth mixing with anyway.

Down in Devon us used to refer to wasps as 'jaspers'. Dunno why.

I love it.

My DH loved Casper but I couldn't get over the friendly ghost thing so we went with Jasper (they're known as wasps here to in Gloucestershire but not that many people know that any more. Jasper is 3 months old know and I have heard of someone else using it. I think it will become more to the Twilight saga unfortunately but it is a lovely name and everybody compliments us on it.

I don't mind it but much prefer Jasper which I love.

don't like Casper - makes me think of friendly ghost

but Caspian is lovely
