That was the name of a beagle we adopted while I was young; his twin sister, who we never had the pleasure to meet, was named Cleopatra. Caesar is the same spelling that "he" used - smile.

I did always wonder, however, that if I spelled his name on a note i.e. "I fed Caesar" - should I have added more of a subtle "a" sound to the vowel / diphthong when I mentioned or called his name?

In the past I've seen it as totally unusable, but I met a family whose parents immigrated from Italy and had a son Cesare. Here in the US, he is called by the Caesar pronunciation. I also have a Mexican student named Cesar who goes by the same pronunciation. Now I kind of like the sound and have stronger associations with these people than with past Roman emperors. The spelling Caesar is still loaded with association though. I guess I might classify it as a GP at this point.

Too ambitious, too salad and too canine. I knew a huge and gorgeous German Shepherd whose name was Kaiser, and it really suited him. Caesar would do just as well, but not on a human.
