Caspian vs Casper vs Jasper
I've been thinking about these three names, I like all three but obviously the three of them are quite similar so I only want to use one.
Caspian - been a long long long time favourite. I love it because it seems strong and classic, though I worry that it might be a tad 'trendy'.
Casper - a newer favourite. Husband loves this one. I like that its really classic. The whole ghost thing doesn't bother me at all. Though Casper doesn't have the cool edgy sound that Caspian has.
Jasper - One of my oldest and most favourite names.. however its become super popular now so I love it but don't know if I would use it.
Which name is best? Potential siblings could be Theodore, Daphne, Winifred/Wilfred

Jasper..
I'm not sure any of them really fit with Theodore, Daphne, and Winifred/ Wilfred. I do like Caspian better, though. I'd call it literary, since it's from The Chronicles of Narnia, or a geographic name. Caspar reminds me too much of Caspar, the Friendly Ghost. Jasper feels like a 49'er. (the gold miners, not the football team)
I like all three of them as well. I don't think Caspian fits in with the potential siblings, so it's down to Casper and Jasper.
Jasper - I know it's still gaining popularity in the US, but I feel like it's already had it's chance. It was pretty much everyones favorite name her eon the boards for a while, and then suddenly only a few liked it. I guess that's why I feel like it had it's chance, it feels "old" to me now, like a few years too late. Still a nice name though.
Casper - More unusual, but there's casper the friendly ghost of course. Doesn't matter to me though since Casper/Kasper is a very popular name where I live. I wouldn't call it a classic - at least not the kind of classic like William, Henry, Anna or Mary. Casper is a little more out there than the potential siblings names, but together they have that vintage feel so I think Casper would fit right in.
So yeah, Casper.
