Is this name too random?

**JellyBean** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:11 PM

Ok, even weirder now.

I kinda made-up a name (lol) which is a mixture of a name DH really likes (Casper) and a name I really like (Sebastian)...

Castian. Honest opinions???
DH and I both prefer the look of Castian to Kastian, as we somehow feel that 'K' is a feminine letter (no offence to anyone with K boy names!) However DH's first name starts with a 'C' so he thinks it will be a pain to receive 2 lots of mail with the same initials on them... I also thought that maybe Castian could be mis-pronounced Carrrstian- as in Castaway, when it is meant to be pronounced like the Bastian in Sebastian.
Ok- so throw me your honest opinions on this name, spelling, associations, whatever.

Thanks!

I like it!

But I like different names

**AliBaby** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:15 PM

Not a big fan...but if you guys like it then you should go for it as it is your choice!

I do like the name Sebastian (but I love the name the name Casper!!!)

**Salsa** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:16 PM

yea - go for it!

eta. i prefere it with a K.

**catherinemoses** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:17 PM

I think I don't like it!

I would probably grow on me but it seems a bit too made up for my liking

smiles4u · February 23rd, 2009, 04:18 PM

Yeh. prefer the spelling Castian

Hey, how about Caspian (just made it up) ??

**Ahurani** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:18 PM

Casper reminds me of Casper the friendly ghost :S

its a bit weird for me, but its your child!

**Meluchja** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:18 PM

Um, to be honest, I think it does sound a little made up IYKWIM. I like the spelling with a C over a K. It reminds me of Canerserian (sorry not sure how to spell it, but if you know principle Skinner off the Simpsons, his real name, lol).

You and DH are the ones who have to love it, so if you do, go with it. You won't have to worry about another boy at school having the same name.

I'm not too sure about Castian, but I like Caspian. I think that is a (not made up) name. Not sure what it means or anything though, will have to google!

**Aimz** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:24 PM

I have always loved the name Caspian and we even have it down as a middle name for if we have a boy one day. A cool combo is Caspian Drake.

I'm not a fan of made up names but i love Sebastian and Casper!!

**maz** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:24 PM

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its hard to be different and have name not everyone else has...so having one that both you and DH made together means so much more and totally ROCKS!!!

**~clover~** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:26 PM

I like it

Sounds like a version of Christian to me.
I do like it with K or C.
& I read it how you meant it too.

**JellyBean** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:29 PM

wow- you guys are like lightening. I love BB!!

Thanks for the honest opinions. Smiles4you - yes, it is a little like Prince Caspian from the Chronicles of Narnia also...

**Papillon** · February 23rd, 2009, 04:31 PM

I love it, but then i love love love diff names.

My DD's name i basically made up.. and DS well, he has a strange one too.. so...

I personally think, and from my experience, do not stress to much what other's think, honestly.. if you and dh love it and it feels right, and when bubs is born it suits, then that's all that matters!!!!

all the best
