[name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]. [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]. [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name].

I love that combo. The others are all fine, except for Alder [name]Fielding[/name] which is too nature themed to me.

But [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name] _swoon_

</div>

I love [name]Soren[/name], so I voted for [name]Soren[/name] [name]Grey[/name].

I really like [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name] too, but [name]James[/name] feels a little filler to me and I prefer the spelling [name]Caspar[/name]. [name]Caspian[/name] is nice, but I don’t like [name]Ford[/name]. And I don’t really care for the combo Alder [name]Fielding[/name] at all.

</div>

I really like [name]Caspian[/name] as a first name…don’t really like [name]Ford[/name] as the mn.  
[name]Caspian[/name] [name]James[/name] or [name]Caspian[/name] [name]Grey[/name] are my suggestions!

</div>

I really like [name]Caspian[/name] as a first name, but I think [name]Ford[/name] makes it fall kind of flat at the end. I’d prefer [name]Caspian[/name] [name]James[/name] or [name]Caspian[/name] [name]Grey[/name].

[name]Caspian[/name] [name]Ford[/name]. It says imaginative, fun, whimiscal and yet strong, leader, practical, and protector.

</div>

I liked the flow of [name]Soren[/name] [name]Grey[/name] but then I realized that it sounded like someone was beaten up and depressed: I’m sore and grey. I think [name]Caspian[/name] is the most interesting first name choice but I don’t care for [name]Ford[/name]. [name]Caspian[/name] [name]James[/name] would be a great blend of quirky and traditional.

I voted for Alder because I love tree names, but I think that [name]Fielding[/name] as a mn might be a bit much. Sounds like an alder field. Alder [name]James[/name] works well. I like to mix nature names with more classic names in case the nature name is causing problems 🙂

[name]Caspian[/name] [name]Ford[/name] caught my eye immediately.

I voted for two! Alder [name]Fielding[/name] and [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]. I think they are both very interesting and would make great names for boys!

[name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]. [name]Love[/name] it!

[name]Soren[/name] just makes me think sore. ☹  
[name]Caspian[/name] [name]Ford[/name] sort of sounds like a place name. Maybe because of the [name]Caspian[/name] Sea and the word fjord. That’s just me nitpicking a little though. It’s a fine name.  
Alder [name]Fielding[/name] is very handsome, but seems less name-y as well.

I voted for [name]Soren[/name] [name]Grey[/name] & [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]! Though it was hard to pick since all of them are fantastic.

</div>

I voted for [name]Soren[/name] [name]Grey[/name] and [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name].

I agree with r\_j about [name]Caspian[/name] [name]Ford[/name] sounding like a place (a la fjord). Also, I thought of fording (crossing) the [name]Caspian[/name] Sea - even though that wouldn’t be very realistic 🙂

I totally agree with this. I initially swooned over [name]Soren[/name], as it is one of my favorite boys names, but I just don;t like it with [name]Gray[/name]. I love [name]Casper[/name] [name]James[/name]! Find a different middle for [name]Soren[/name] and I would give two thumbs up. Maybe [name]Soren[/name] [name]Casper[/name]?

I know it didn’t get much love here, but I had to vote [name]Adler[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] because [name]Fielding[/name] is a long time family for me. My son’s name is [name]Jackson[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] named after my grandfather [name]John[/name] [name]Fielding[/name] (and lots of Fieldings for generations back). It might not be popular, but it is a great name.
