Advice needed please. What are your thoughts on the name ...

Jasper? What kind of name is it? Some regard it as quite posh or is that less so these days? There's also the cat association! I don't want to give DS a name for which he may be teased at school. Thanks

Jasper Carrott - although I doubt any kids would remember him these days!

I'm not that keen and DH hates it. It is still very posh in our area.

I think of the Twilight character now, which would probably put me off as it might become one of the current 'popular' names.

Not a huge fan of it to be honest, but I don't really think of it as posh.

I think of Twilight and my friends cat that humps everything in sight :o! For that reason I wouldn't use it, but I think it's a perfectly good name.

Kids don't tease just because of a name, and I can't see jasper being a teasable name.

I love the name Jasper-I knew a very posh Irish Jasper & the name suited him so well-he was also somewhat of a party animal & great fun. So I always think of it as a cool fun name-hope this helps

It does sound posh but perhaps less so these days.

I don't think many names sound 'posh' anymore, I know Jaspers, Sebastians and Quentins who are very 'common', so I wouldn't worry about that.

The thing I don't like about Jasper is the possible nicknames of Jas/Jassie.

I quite like Jasper and agree that most names no longer sound 'posh' but wouldn't be keen on the short forms of Jas, which sounds a little feminine.

Jasper Carrot is the first thing that springs to my mind. It would be cute on a little kid. Might be a funny one for an adult.

Personally I'm not keen on it, but I see no major problems with it socially.
