Jasper or Milo?

Which one? We both like both but I sway more towards Jasper while OH sways more towards Milo.

We’ve spent the last 9 months going through pretty much every boy name on the planet and have boiled it down to these two 😂

Milo to me is a dogs name...because I know so many dogs called Milo 🤷‍♀️

FayCarew · 05/03/2022 13:19

Jasper. Milo is a drink

I’ve got a Jasper so my vote is for Jasper 🥰 He always get loads of compliments on having such a lovely name.

I have a Milo and I had a dog called Jasper so I love both names. Hard choice op. Milo is becoming more popular now.

Jasper I hate Milo

@Newbeginnings90

I know a family with a Jasper and a Milo and they are both cats.
What's that got to do with the OP's decision? I never understand why on pretty much every name thread people feel the need to chime in with pets they know who have human names. I know a dog called Jeff. So what? Anyway OP, I would go with Jasper.

Milo, I know two my cat and a seven year old 🙂

WeasilyPleased · 04/03/2022 22:33

Jasper. To me it's a much stronger name and goes into adulthood better.

Mumofgirls2017 · 04/03/2022 22:18

Definitely Jasper for me!

Wagsandclaws · 04/03/2022 21:08

I have a ds aged 13 who is called Milo. It really suits him and has done for all ages so far.

I like Jaspar as well, not sure on an adult though. I also have a ds called Caspar so quite similar to your choices. I really like both names.

DramaAlpaca · 04/03/2022 21:03

To me Jasper is a fine, strong name and Milo is wishy-washy. So Jasper.

AnnaSW1 · 04/03/2022 21:00

Milo. Jasper sounds so wet and weak to my ears.

Love Jasper

avocadotofu · 04/03/2022 19:50

I love both but if I had to choose I'd go for Jasper.

SemperIdem · 04/03/2022 19:49

Jasper.

Miles nn Milo when little would be nice but I don’t like Milo as a given name for an adult. It sounds childish.

Joystir59 · 04/03/2022 19:42

Absolutely love Milo

Blubells · 04/03/2022 19:40

Milo is a chocolate drink

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 04/03/2022 19:38

Jasper.

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/03/2022 19:34

Milo

But probably because I knew a weedy Jasper

Roselilly36 · 04/03/2022 19:11

Both gorgeous names, I honestly can’t chose between them either.

FourChimneys · 04/03/2022 18:38

Jasper. Wasn't one of the Tweenies called Milo?

Luckingfovely · 04/03/2022 18:28

I love both!

Viviennemary · 04/03/2022 18:26

I'm not overkeen on either. But prefer Milo.

DotDotDotDotDot · 04/03/2022 18:22

Jasper is lovely.
