Names like Jasper but not..?!

I do like Jasper as a name - but not completely convinced (however its the best I can think of so far). George has been vetoed by husband (booo). Already have a William. Anyone have any suggestions of names like Jasper ...but not..?!?
Quite like classic but quirky.

We have a William, also really love Jasper but it doesn't go with surname. What about Francis, Sebastian or Seth?

What about Gaspar(d)? DH is Caspar and he always gets Casper (the friendly ghost - (hmm) )

We very very nearly had a Jasper! In the end decided against it because it didn't quite go with DS1's name. Other names we considered:

Casper
Otto
Oscar
Barnaby
Spencer
Carter
Bertram (Bertie)
Flynn
Jared
Henry

Eventually we decided on Milo. I absolutely love it Grin

I like names from the early part of the last century. I think these are all very classic and very english. Any good?
