Is Jasper fab or drab next to these sibling names...?

Two boys named Felix and Theodore - we love their names to bits and want an equally fabulous boy name to go with them.

Do you think Jasper is a bit boring/predictable after Felix and Theodore. I love it but want to know what you think.

Any other suggestions?

I also love Sebastian but think thank definitely falls into the predictable category. I guess for our last child I want to go a tiny bit left field to make the set of names remarkable (to me).

I think your children's names are beautiful, including Jasper. Trust your gut feeling! x

I love your children's names and think Jasper works well with them. They are the same "type" of names. And I love Jasper!

Jasper is fab with that sibling set! Do it!

Jasper is v nice. I prefer it to Sebastian. It is a bit less predictable with the other names too.

Snap! I have a jasper and a felix, and a julian too. To be honest, Jasper feels more "datestamped" to me than the other two, that is, Julian and Felix could be any age between 1 and 100, Jasper conjures up for me a child born at the beginning of the 21st century (excepting cousin Jasper from Brideshead!). Although, I am not in England, where these names are more in use I think.
We call our Jasper Jappy, btw.

I really like it & think it goes well with the other names.

Like Sebastian also.

I always wanted an Oscar & a Felix!

Yes it def goes with your other dc names! Would sound lovely together

I love Jasper & Sebastian, I want Jasper for if we have another Son but DP has just completely veto'd it :(

I would also like to second adding Hugo & Jago to the mix, funky!

I think Jasper goes well with your other names. I do think it will date though, probably more than Sebastion but do agree with the poster who said they don't like the Bastion sound at the end of Sebastion.

I like Jasper, maybe cos I have a good friend with that name. I think it works very well with sibling names - if you think it might be too plain, how about Fabian? (My friend Jasper's brother's name)
