-Pip (short for?)

Jasper- tall, thin, untrustworthy man. It's the sibilance. Makes me think 'snake in the grass'
Tristan- handsome warrior
Frederick- blonde German/Dutch chap
Indigo- dark-haired, Boho girl
Joseph- portly (O sound), genial chap
Benedict- just see Cumberbatch
Edmund- Medieval boy complete with page boy hair style, tunic, tights and pointy shoes
Edmundo- 5th Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
Edgar- eggs growling
William- handsome, bookish/scholarly young man
Pip is short for Philip. Pip just makes me think of the character from Great Expectations. Philip makes me think of big, spitty lips thanks to the Philip in my class when I was 5.

You did ask

Jasper makes me think of a dog but that's the only association I have with any of those names. Pip is short for Philip (like in Great Expectations).

I honestly wouldn't see anything, I'd have to see the person behind the name!

Indigo - I would think girl on hearing it
Edmundo - I would think Spanish/South American
Edgar - Allen Poe
Pip - would wonder what it was short for
