Is this an unusual name?

Is Jasper a fairly mainstream name and what are your thoughts? How many Jaspers do you know? We are looking for a name that is known and not too unusual but at the same time, not overly common. Any opinions welcome. Ta.

I know two Jaspers and one Caspar.

I think it's a lovely name.

I know one adult Jasper and the name really suits him, he's a very well spoken academic, with a soft, vulnerable side.

The Holiday immediately springs to me - that character that Kate Winslet was first dating...Jasper.

I don't know of any in our family or at school....so must be on the unusual side..

Sorry - just re-read what I put, it was meant to be jokey, not sarky. FWIW it's growing on me.
