HelpRe: My top 3 boys
in reply to a message by Ismene
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.
