Names like Jasper but not..?!

I do like Jasper as a name - but not completely convinced (however its the best I can think of so far). George has been vetoed by husband (booo). Already have a William. Anyone have any suggestions of names like Jasper ...but not..?!?
Quite like classic but quirky.

Ooh I missed Monty earlier in the thread. I've just remembered that DD was going to be a Monty, or certainly a Felix Monty. But she was a she. So it didn't happen. Love Monty too.

I know a Merlin. He hates it though.

Ohh, I'm so shocked so many have suggested Monty. I though I had the only one!

I like names from the early part of the last century. I think these are all very classic and very english. Any good?

I have a Jasper and he is super super cool!
If I were to have another boy he would be called Baxter. Hth :)

Monty
Quentin
Casper
Winston

i love the name Oscar, my 2nd youngest DS is Oscar and its quirky without being out there strange. We also have a Seth as well which we get complimented on all the time. Lucas and Casper are both names i love too. Happy choosing! Smile

Quentin

I know brothers Jasper and Quentin - love both names!

We very very nearly had a Jasper! In the end decided against it because it didn't quite go with DS1's name. Other names we considered:

Casper
Otto
Oscar
Barnaby
Spencer
Carter
Bertram (Bertie)
Flynn
Jared
Henry

Eventually we decided on Milo. I absolutely love it Grin
