Baby Name of the Month: Caspian

Baby Name of the Month: Caspian

Its that time of the month again.. and no I dont mean aunt flo... unfortunately there is none of that going on.. its Baby Name of the Month.  This month is boys month so our name is

Caspian 

Remember my first boys name post was Sebastian?   Well Caspian has the same feel, but is way less popular, which I absolutely love. In fact it has never been on the US top 1000 list, but still seems so familiar.  I think Caspian sounds as romantic as Romeo, but with less drama, if that makes any sense.

Caspian is a place name.. The Caspian Sea  is the largest enclosed inland body of water on Earth by area. It boarders Russia, Kazakstan, Iran and a few other middle east countries.  Because it is a Lake/Sea it can also be described as a Nature name.

Probably the most recognizable Caspian is Prince Caspian from the Cronicles of Narnia.  His story is that he is the rightful ruler of Narnia and the children aid in restoring him through adventure in Narnia.  I would say that Rich has more of a connection to this book than I do.. He read the series as a kid and love the fantasticness about it.. I however did not read them til I was an adult and found the books to be sexist.

  I would say that is nice to have a literary name, and this is a cherished series for many children.  I do love the name and that it is not that popular, but is recognizable for its likeness to Sebastian. It does seem to provoke romance and adventure all in one name.. I would just hope he would never be Cas or Cash.
