[Opinions] Caspian
in reply to a message by Bex
I think Casper probably does fit better with Theodora, but Caspian’s always going to get my vote. There’s just so much going for him; some amazing imagery, the nature connection with the Caspian Sea, and the magical, whimsical aspect from Narnia. And to me Caspian doesn’t comes across as all that modern. Probably because of the Narnia association, Caspian reminds me of old castles, adventure, vintage maps, and daring deeds, that sort of thing, and not pasrticularly modern. I would still use it despite the child at school, since he’s going to grow up and leave at some point, and it’d be a shame not to use a name you love for a temporary association.

Yeah I get what you're saying about the kid at school, it's just he's the only kid at the school with the name so I think people I work with would put the two together.
Also the other kids at school would possibly assume so. I also just wonder if Caspian is a bit trendy sounding.

I don't think Caspian sounds trendy. I agree with the reasons it sounds older (especially because of the Caspian Sea). Casper definitely sounds trendy though.
