HelpRe: Casper or Kasper?
in reply to a message by Ninor
The C looks slightly more familiar (and old-fashioned) to me, but I tend to prefer K (and that can come across as trendy or modern) in general.
C vs K doesn't really change much to me when it comes to Casper or Kasper, though. What would make more of a difference to me would be changing the E to an A (Caspar / Kaspar), because that way it looks less like a noun (as if Casper is someone who casps - even though that's not a word...it vaguely reminds me of gasper/clasper/grasper or whisper).
I don't have a strong opinion on the name itself.
My great-grandmother's 2nd husband was a Casper, so old white men would be my 1st association with it...2nd association is the ghost...3rd association is Jasper, which is more common where I live and reminds me of stones, 1001 Dalmatians, or names like: Micah, Ezra, Carter, Jackson, Jesse.
Actually, I do like the possibility of Cas or Cass. So I vote Casper.
