[Opinions] Casper/Caspar
I was going to do a poll on this but realized it's more of a two-part question. 1. Do you pronounce Casper and Caspar the same? 2. Which spelling do you prefer out of Casper, Caspar, Kasper and Kaspar?
TIA for your input :)

I do pronounce Casper & Caspar the same, which happens to bother me and makes me only like the "er" spelling. I've tried saying Caspar with more of an "a" sound at the end, but then it just sounds strange to me and not like a name.Definitely not a "k" person when the name is generally spelled with a "c", so Casper gets my vote. :)

I don't prn them the same and I much prefer Casper / Kasper. Out of those spelling, I like Kasper a lot more. Casper reminds me of the ghost and it also sounds quite weak.

1. Caspar has more of an "ah" sound at the end that's close to the -er pronunciation or Casper. But not by much.
2. Casper for the -er pronunciation and Kaspar for the run-together "ahr/er" sound. Did that make sense?

No, Casper is the English way (like the ghost) and Caspar is the German way. Similar though. 2. Which spelling do you prefer out of Casper, Caspar, Kasper and Kaspar?
Out of these I like Caspar best, but my overall fave is Gaspar.

i would pronounced them pretty much the same but with Caspar slightly more of an 'ah' sound... I personally prefer Casper or Kasper... probably Kasper, as Casper will have references to the friendly ghost...
