If you like Jasper but think it’s too similar how about Jenson

Jasper carrot 🥕

That's what I think when i hear jasper

itcoldoutside · 07/12/2019 03:45

odd weird choices for names but each to
Their own

Would he go for the Irish Lorcan, often used as a translation for Laurence? It's perfectly phonetic.

What was it? Earnest? Reggie? Albert?

This is his second child. I have 2 from a previous marriage. He's vetoed my first choice because he says he went to school with hundreds and my second because it sounds like an old man in a grey cardigan 🙄

They’d get Jassia and Casper.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 05/12/2019 03:15

I think they sound similar, yes. Also there is the Cass/Jass factor.

mathanxiety · 05/12/2019 03:03

Or do I have your H mixed up with someone else's?

mathanxiety · 05/12/2019 03:03

@Tillygetsit, I suggest you return to your first and second choices and ask him to compromise.

Is this a first child for him?

Astronica · 05/12/2019 01:29

Not imposssible but too similar for me. I think you would end up with Cass and Jass.

northernknickers · 04/12/2019 23:07

Lots of 'sss' going on in both names, caSSia, JaSsssper. I do like Cassia though...but really don't like Jasper at all, sorry 🤷‍♀️

It's another point he's made about Jasper. He's really not keen so I'm going to have to let it go...just as I did with my first and second choices Angry

I think too similar too

MrsBertBibby · 04/12/2019 10:50

Too similar.

user1493494961 · 04/12/2019 09:02

Yes, Cass and Jas.

Shangrilalala · 04/12/2019 04:58

No, and Cassia in particular, is gorgeous!

mathanxiety · 04/12/2019 04:54

Mmmm, now you mention it, Cass and Jass...

Is Cassia pronounced Cash-iya or Cass-iya?

5LeafClover · 04/12/2019 01:50

They do sound quite similar...there's a high probability of them being 'paired' as Cass and Jasp.

Ibloodylovewomen · 04/12/2019 01:23

No, but they don't sound very nice together in my opinion.

Pieceofpurplesky · 04/12/2019 01:07

Although when shouting and getting muddled, as invariably happens, you will shout Casper

MrsNoMopp · 04/12/2019 00:53

No, not too similar.

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2019 22:42

Not unless you are going to shorten them to Cass and Jass.

Cbeebiesrehab · 03/12/2019 22:40

Nope
