Be honest please. ..

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

Jasper?

Does it make you think of a cat?

[PestoSurfissimos]

No but it does sound a bit pretentious.

[iklboo]

TBH it reminds me of a gorgeous red setter I knew when I was growing up. He always used to run up & greet me when I walked past.

BUT if you love the name, sod what anyone else thinks.

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

You think pesto? Oh no. Pretentious is not what I want to go for either :/

[PestoSurfissimos]

Well I didn't mean to be offensive, sorry. It's just that I can only hear it being said in a really posh accent, like - Jaaa-spa afar

I do actually quite like it!

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

I am not offended, please dont apologise. It is a bit posh i s'pose!

Thanks for being honest :)

[HopefulHamster]

I quite like it, have only known a little boy with the name, no pets :)

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

Yaya! Thanks hopeful... :)

[CheerfulYank]

I love it! I've always like it; hope Twilight hasn't ruined it.

[Chillycamper]

I know a couple of Jasper nn Jazz. Lovely lads.
I like it

[SantasLittleMonkeyButler]

Jasper is the dog from Rebecca (my favourite book/film).

So, to me, it is a doggy name. And also quite pretentious.

[scarletforya]

I really hate it. Sorry. Reminds me of a court jester.

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

Wow I didn't realise nn was jazz! This makes me love it furthermore :)

Oh goodness ... What has Jasper got to do with Twilight dare I ask? (This could ruin it for me :( )

[Littlestar3432]

Really nice. Doesn't make me think of a cat at all x

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

A court jester? Whaaaat? lol

[Kantha]

There are quite a few little Jaspers round here, and they are from very average/non posh families.

Despite that my own prejudice is that it is a bit posh and even a bit wet as names go.

[Kveta]

lovely name :)

[Lollipop11]

I LOVE it !!!

[KeepOnPloddingOn]

I am not posh. We do have a double barraled last name though... :/

[DitzyDonkey]

I much prefer Caspar.....infinitely cooler!!

[HicDraconis]

Makes me think of Carrott :)

It's a semiprecious stone, it's a great name.

[insancerre]

We had a rabbit called Jasper
And jazz is a car or a slang term for semen

[Delphiniumsblue]

Yes- definitely a cat.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I love it. It is my favourite. Makes me think of Jasper Tudor.

However my dp insists it is slang for wasp in Southern England and has refused to even consider it bastard.

[RiverTam]

I quite like it but a woman at work today said it was a cat's name! We were all a bit puzzled, but I guess she's not alone as you're asking the question!

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Jasper is a vampire in Twilight op, doesn't do anything particularly good or bad.
