[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another nickname for Caspian is Casper.  And U bbn know it makes everyone think of the friendly ghost but I knew a kid in grade school who was named Casper and he was not made fun of any more than any other name.

I was just talking to my two second graders.  There are a number of kids in their grade that have names that seem like they would be prime target contenders.  But no one makes fun of the names. At this point I think that there are far fewer people using traditional names and a lot more cultural names , so most everything is normal.  My kids said no 9ne makes fun if anyone's name because everyone had normal names,  which really isn't true.   But they are normal to the kids.  When we were young the popular names were 10-20 times more commonly used than the most popular names today.  The top 10 names now are about as common as the top 50-100 names were then.

Two things. First, I think second grade is pretty young for teasing.  Second, I think teasing is about the person, not the name.  Some people are unfortunately more likely to be teased and others are not. If you are subject to teasing, they will find something about you. If not, an odd name is not an issue.[/quote]

Second grade is prime time for kids to make fun of one another.  It starts at 3. I’ve found most kids grow out of making fun of names around 11/12z[/quote]
