I love it. I had to google Jasper Carrot, I do recognise him but didn't know the name, but doubt it will be an issue for your DC.

It sounds like a pet's name - cat, dog or rabbit

KirstenBlest · 01/03/2022 11:17

Dog's name

I like Jasper. I think of the stone/mineral first. It seems like a cool nature name to me. Maybe it's a generation thing, but I don't know who Jasper Carrot is.

avocadotofu · 01/03/2022 10:36

I love it too! It's one of my favourite boy names!

MrsMoastyToasty · 01/03/2022 10:24

Where I live a jasper is a local name for a wasp.

Knew one. It was pronounced Joss-puh. Not nice.

Moonshine160 · 01/03/2022 10:19

Love it.

Meandthesky · 25/02/2022 14:44

I like it!

SemperIdem · 25/02/2022 14:00

I love Jasper. I think unless he’s actually a red head, Jasper Carrot connotations are unlikely.

Wtfdidwedo · 24/02/2022 21:36

I think of Jasper from The Simpsons.

Fab
So disappointed my relative went for Toby instead of Jasper! Love it
Baby Toby super though 🥰

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/02/2022 21:35

It makes me think of a weedy man with a red beard, no idea why..

Thehouseofmarvels · 24/02/2022 21:34

I love this name. I wanted to call a future son Casper/Kasper but that is my partner's name.

midsomermurderess · 24/02/2022 21:27

I always think Jasper Tudor. Don't think there was much wet about him.

MachineBee · 24/02/2022 21:24

I don’t like it. Always think of the cheating ex to Kate Winslet’s character in The Holiday.

JemimaTiggywinkle · 24/02/2022 21:22

I love it, it’s on my list.
It does make me think of Jasper Carrot a little bit, but I don’t mind that. As long as your surname isn’t Carrot it shouldn’t be a problem.

RuthW · 24/02/2022 21:21

Love it

RupertOscar1999 · 24/02/2022 21:19

I love Jasper!

Olga03 · 24/02/2022 21:14

I love it ♥️
It was on my list, but my DS doesn't look like a Jasper at all 😅

TheVolturi · 24/02/2022 21:03

Jasper is a very cool name!

Love it! Was on my list (had a daughter in the end).

Babdoc · 24/02/2022 20:50

Sorry, it reminds me of the “Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me” joke from my schooldays. And also it’s the name of one of the villains who abducted the puppies for Cruella deVil in Dodie Smith’s book The 101 dalmatians.

toastofthetown · 24/02/2022 20:50

I like Jasper. I’m not sure any of the references people are making are relevant any more and the name is very popular so clearly not too much of an issue to be in wide use.
