What do Jaspers get called in the playground?

[thereistheball]

Dd has come up with Jasper for her soon-to-be brother. It's growing on all of us but I'd like to know if anyone has one and if so what's the nickname? I'm off out but will be back this evening - thanks in advance!

Jas?
Jasp?

Don't know, just guessing.

Wasps?

I was going to say wasps as well. Lol. Please don't call him jasper.

Jazz

Definitely Jazz. (Well, we had a cat called Jasper and he was nicknamed Jazz.)

My dog is called Jasper. We call him Jas, and Jasperino

I don't get wasps (

Jasper is a lovely name.

Jasper is slang for wasp.

My grandfather was named Jasper. His nn was Jack.

Jasmine

I would also not use it because of the wasp thing.

I think the wasp thing is very regional. I live in London and had never heard of it before mn.

It's my surname and I'm often called by my last name or jasp.

Jasper is a stunning name and from what I gather it's only slang for wasps in certain parts of the country! Sure even if some people use it as slang for wasps that's not really a big deal....wasps aren't exactly offensive...now Johnny, Dick, Fanny et al that would be unfortunate!

Jasper is not and has never been slang for wasps where i live.

Carrott.

Nor me

The Jasper I know gets Jazz.

i have heard JJ as a nickname

We call wasps jaspers down 'ere in the south!

I'd never heard of the wasps thing at all. Thanks! Not sure it's put me off though. How possible is it to engineer a child's nickname? I'm not keen on Jas/Jazz but Jay would be fine.

hey luella one of those names is my DS name!

You could call him Jesper - that's even deeper lentil weaver. I got taken on a mushroom hunt by a Jesper.

Don't all boys end up being called by their surname in the playground anyway eventually? I think he would be called "Jasper" in primary and e.g. "Smithy" in secondary school.

Jesper is technically pn Yesper, since it's the Dutch/Euro spelling.

Not keen on Jasper. Don't like Jazz as nn. Prefer Caspar. Beautiful name.
