I like all three names, but Mars is quite spacy in my opinion.
I like its look, but it is too much related to the planet or the God.

---

Caspar is cute! It reminds me of an ill-tempered child though. Therefore I probably wouldn't actually use it myself.

---

Abram is alright, but people my think it's a misspelled Abraham - which I don't like at all.

---

They match somehow, but not too well in my opinion. Caspar and Abram are alright, though I'd change it to Jasper. Mars doesn't really fit as to origin.
However, I do prefer Caspar over Cassius! I also like it being spelled Casper, maybe even a little more than Caspar.

---

How about the following

---

Eli
Emmanuel
Ezra
Felix
Gabriel
Joel
Jonah
Kenan
Raphael
Silas
Timeus
Simeon

I know a Mars in his early 20s, so I can easily see it on a person. I don't mind it. Caspar is nice but I prefer Kaspar. Abram is ok. They all go well together as brothers.

Abram: Don't like it but it's better than the other two.
Mars: Silly and sci-fi-sounding. Also, in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, the slaves always called their masters Mars Tom or Mars Huck.
Caspar: A friendly ghost. Now a friendly hipster ghost.

Abram is nice, though I prefer Abraham. Abel would also be cool.

---

Mars is nms, I think it's horrible for a real person. All I can think of is the chocolate bar and the planet. Marcus, though I know not related, would be a nicer option.

---

Caspar / Casper is nice, though obviously I prefer Jasper.

---

I think Abraham, Marcus and Jasper would be my preferred set.

I don't like Abram! It's fusty and conservative and ... blah! In this sibling set it's like an obligatory kowtow, a gesture to apologize for Mars and Caspar. Which need no excuses!
I like Mars! I think this name should go mainstream and reach the top 10. Not only because I like the sound and the paganness but because Mars is like Max, but with guts, no mascot name. I think naming after a divinity associated with war, in the US today anyway, is fully consistent with highly valuing peace. And at any rate, masculinity in this culture seems to be a little desperate and could stand a direct, unashamed salutation to its more honorable aspects. I think Mars might be my third favorite babyboyname this year, tied with Conrad...
Caspar is just such a nice strong competent classic. It's my preferred form of the name. I dislike Casper. Kaspar is alright. But Caspar is the easiest and nicest, where I am. It does seem badass. And it does get the nickname Cass, which is cooler than Cash, I agree although I also approve strongly of Cassius.

Abram: I'm not a huge fan of this name, but it's definitely not bad; I certainly prefer it to Abraham. I think Abe would be an adorable nickname for it, but it would be fine on its own.

---

Abram David
Abram Tobiah
Caspar Abram
Jonas Abram

---

Mars: I love Mars! I'd probably not ever be brave enough to use it, because it's a planet and the Roman god of war, but I would so like to see it used. It could be a nickname for Martin, so then the child could use his full name if other kids make fun of his name.

---

Mars Silvanus
Mars Elijah
Mars Alasdair
Mars Romulus
Pollux Mars

---

Caspar: I prefer Jasper and the spelling I see more often, Casper, to Caspar, but it sounds cool and masculine anyway. I don't really like the nickname "Cass" though.

---

Caspar Abram
Caspar Emmanuel
Caspar Jacob
Raphael Caspar

---

I like Caspar better than Cassius, though neither name is really my style.

---

None of the names clash or sound bad together, so I think this would be a great set of brothers, but if you like matching names for siblings, these obviously don't match.

Abram- I've always really wanted to like this but never quite got there. I get the appeal though. I do sometimes feel like Abraham got lazy and didn't want to write out his full name though.
Mars- Not a name, sorry
Casper- I can't get past the friendly ghost but it's a fine name. I like Jasper and they're almost the same..

---

I think Abram and Casper are good brothers but Mars is just weird.

I love Abram and Caspar. They are fantastic individually and as brothers. I also love Bram and Caspar, but that might be OTT goffick for some. I waaaayy prefer Caspar over Cassius. Cassius is cool, but I bet it would be mispronounced and misspelled often (as cass-ee-us or Cashus/Kashis/I don't even know how, I suppose the options are limitless).

---

Mars....I don't know. I find both Mars and Aries jarring. I suppose this is a lazy answer, but honestly it just seems brand-namey to me - obviously because it is, but still. It's a very abrupt name. Maybe Marcial? Marcius? Marshall? What is it about the name that you enjoy - maybe I can come to see the charm it holds for you?

Abram: not too bad. I much prefer it over Abraham. Abram is very nice though I do prefer Beam over it

---

Mars: as in the planet....? Just very silly and can't take it seriously at all. I would go with 'Lars' instead. Something that actually sounds like a name

---

Casper: nice but the strong accosiation with casper the friendly ghost is blatant. I prefer jasper over it anyhow

---

I like Cassius over casper

---

My favorite from those 3: Abram

I LOVE Abram! It doesn't get nearly enough use IMO. Caspar is all right but rather hissy. Mars is just ridiculous on an actual person, sorry.

---

As a sibset they seem really, really random and mismatched.
