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 :( )

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

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

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

I like it

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 Grin

I do actually quite like it!

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

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.

No but it does sound a bit pretentious.
