Jasper for a boy- thoughts?

Thinking of boys names and favourite at the moment is Jasper but have heard that it sounds a bit posh! What do you think? Other names we like are Sebastian, Lucas/Luca and Theo. Looking for a nice but not common name... I remember when I was at school there were so many Olivers and Emmas and Sophies... we had to put the first letter of their surname after it to differentiate hehe. Let me know what you think xxx

It's a wasp around these parts.

I’d be thinking

Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me...etc.

I love Jasper. I would use it but I also worry it's a bit posh. I think Jas for short is cool too.

My cat is called jasper, so I obviously like the name, putting that aside I think it's a lovely name and I don't actually know a child called jasper. I have a Lucas and know of one other in our area. So yes I like the names you've suggested!

But what's wrong with posh? Confused

ReginaPhalange89 · 10/04/2019 14:59

I like Jasper but it does sound quite posh! The only Jasper I know is a Beagle.... A very cute Beagle though lol. Sebastian is also quite posh sounding

I definitely think Jasper is the least common of your list .

I have a Jasper so am biased but its a great name - and believe me not posh in the slightest it does however suit his cheekiness

I love it! We named our son Samuel and then 2 weeks later I thought of Jasper and wished so much we had gone for that!

I like Jasper.

LittleKitty1985 · 10/04/2019 12:51

I really like Jasper, it's much nicer than the other names you've mentioned

Calixtine · 10/04/2019 12:32

Jasper is lovely. I also like Theo, Luca and Sebastian.

ThanksItHasPockets · 10/04/2019 12:30

Love Jasper. I’d avoid Theo if you don’t want something very popular.

KirstyT11 · 10/04/2019 12:27

Love jasper... if we have a boy that's the only name we have agreed on. I dont think its posh particularly. X

Tiramisu1 · 10/04/2019 12:21

How about

Quentin
Magnus
Vincent
Rufus

Tiramisu1 · 10/04/2019 12:20

I like Jasper.

I'd avoid Theo as it's super popular right now.
