Will he get teased if we give him these names?

[StarsInTheNightSky]

I'm 27 weeks pregnant (DS at very high risk of being premature though for various reasons) and after a lot of discussion DH and I have finally agreed on a name for our little chap.

Jasper Alec

Our surname begins with an 'A' and his first name is definitely going to be Jasper. We struggled with finding a middle name, but eventually settled on Alec which we both love. Jasper and Alec are both names from mine and DH's families which we though was nice too.

Today, when we told my teenage niece about our name choice, she straight away piped up with "oooh, like from Twilight!" She is a big Twilight fan (DH and I are not) so I googled it and found that both names were used in the Twilight books . This has made us very worried that he wil get teased, and we're thinking about a different middle name, but don't want to change it without cause as we love Alec. We will not be changing Jasper by the way.

My question is, how many of you would make that connection? Do you think it's something we should be worried about or are we overthinking it?

Thanks in advance.

You're overthinking it.

I've read all the Twilight books, and the only name from there that would have me immediately thinking "They've named their baby after a Twilight character!" is Renesme.

Most of the other names are well established names with plenty of other connotations and connections for people to think of first.

And, FWIW, I have a DS with a name used in the Twilight books. No one has ever said "oooh, like from Twilight!" to us.

I used to like the name Isabella but wouldn't use it or any other Bella variant because it has become so overused in the wake of Twilight. Jasper and Alec don't have the same association. They are classic names and they will outlast the Twilight fad.

2/3 of my DC have Twilight names, unintentionally! One named before the books and one after. I have only been asked about it once when the books were at their height of popularity. When I read Jasper I didn't make the connection. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and Jasper stays inside as long as possible

Love those names! Why did I not think of Jasper for one of my 4 sons?

Forget the Twilight connection, my first thought was Jasper Tudor too.

I think twilights had its day. Don't worry people won't make the association by the time he's in school.
