Noah

But that’s because I also know people with pets called Jasper.

I love Jasper.

For once on one of these threads, I actually really like both names. Noah would edge it for me. For what it's worth, I have two kids aged 3 and 6 and neither of them have a Noah in their friendship / school / pre school groups so I don't think it's that popular. And I know a couple of dogs called Jasper so that would put me off slightly (although my aunt has a cat with the same name as my youngest so wouldn't preclude it!)

I should add that what puts me off Noah is how popular it is. What puts me off Jasper is that it’s not popular enough haha. Jasper sort of had a posh sound to me which I didn’t like the idea of.

Jasper!

Noah is nice but very popular.

Both very nice names. Possibly Jasper has the edge. Then you could use Noah for the next one? Grin
