Caesar

Never liked this name until I met someone with it. He's one of the smartest and most interesting people I've ever known. I think this name really depends on what kind of person bears it. A good personality makes it a good name.

Regarding anon below, I think Caesar is one of those names that would seem weird to pick for a baby just because it's a name that has to suit an established personality, and there's no way to judge what a baby's personality will be. When I think of Caesar I think of someone who's smart as well as level-headed and a natural leader, and that's a lot of pressure to put on a baby. And it's just a bit different enough to not be too try-hard quirky or uNiQuE.

It has a good meaning.

I think this is a pretty cool name. Until 10 seconds ago, I thought it was spelt Ceaser.

I love Caesar Salad and Little Caesar's Pizza.

Means hairy, gone out of use, only known by the horrible Augustus Julius Caesar.

I love the name Caesar. It is fascinating, triumphant and immortal. Whatever pronunciation is great!

Well my name is Cesar Deleon and I’ve read all the comments but from a guy named Cesar I get a lot of compliments on how cool my name is and my last name since I’m Native American. Spottedhorse is my last name but anyways, people love the name Cesar. I’ve got a lot of reputation from people and on how you pronounce my name is like the Salad or Pizza.

For human no, for a dog yes.

Not really sure if I like this as a first name.

I know an adorable little boy named Caesar. We call him C, Seezy, Squeezy, Squeezer, C-meister, etc. He gets lots of compliments on his VERY cool and awesome name, with an interesting and good historical reference behind it. He has an afro when he doesn't have braids in ;) so hairy is a good meaning :D.

I like this name. It's not pretentious or pompous, the name has been around since before the name of Jesus so it's a pretty old name.

Seems very harsh on a little boy, and you can't get any good nicknames out of it.

This is a nice name. I don't hear it a lot and I think this spelling CAESAR is pretty awesome. I prefer the Roman spelling over CESAR, the Spanish version.

I never knew that "Caesar" likely meant "hairy". *Very* descriptive! But is it a good description or a bad one? I could imagine giving this name to a furry dog, with that in mind.

Mmmm... I love Caesar.

In salad form.

Omg wow! Wonderful meaning! :D

Not sure what's wrong the the above posters, people name their kids this all the time, just not with this spelling. I think the most common spelling nowadays is "Cesar," especially in Spanish-speaking countries, and it's not seen as pompous at all.

It IS pompous, and it sounds like a title rather than a name. Nobody could ever be like Julius Caesar, or any ancient Roman for that matter.

What sort of a pompous egomaniac would name their son this? Okay, I'm pretty sure no one would, but then again, people are crazy.

Hairy, huh? That's a vivid image.
