Is the Friendly Ghost reference a bad thing?

By the time the baby is old enough for school etc. the kids won't know who Casper is I don't think.

I wasn't implying that the Friendly Ghost thing is bad, it may just be why I like the other one better. I don't think he'd be teased, but I still wouldn't want the same name as a cartoon ghost meant to entertain children. Sort of like Barney, I wouldn't want to be named Barney either.

Caspar I think just looks more mature. Kind of like how I like Aidan much more than Aiden.

ditto on the 'more mature' part.

Oh no I didn't think you were implying it was bad. I've just been wondering myself about the reference.

I'm thinking it might be one of those things that gets mentioned when you first meet him, and then gets forgotten basically. WDYT?

I'm inclined to agree with you. I don't think it would be an issue really, but I can see why your husband prefers Caspar.

I think so, but only because the more I hear the name the weaker that association gets. I imagine if I meet someone with that name I'd be something like "OMG! like the Friendly Ghost!" and then never say/think anything about it ever again.

That's good to hear, that's what I was thinking too.

It's really grown on me and it's already lost the Friendly Ghost reference for the most part for me. But honestly he was a cute ghost and I liked the show. ;)
