What you think of Jasper?

[CaipirinhasAllRound]

I'm in hospital having been induced and seem to have ruled out all our possible boys names. I mentioned Jasper yesterday as a new suggestion which DH instantly liked.
1 syllable surname, brother is Jonny

[bridgetreilly]

I think it's a great name.

Congratulations & what a lovely name.

[Oddlookingeyes]

Oh....posted too soon. Congratulations, Claudia a gorgeous name :)

[Oddlookingeyes]

Like it....but wary of matching initials for brothers, makes the post a nightmare !!!

[CaipirinhasAllRound]

Had a little girl on Wednesday so no need for Jasper! She's called Claudia x

PS don't worry about the pet thing either. All of our pets have had 'human' names (never a Tibbles or a Sooty in our family), so I don't see the distinction. A lovely name is a lovely name.

[MiriAmmerman]

I love it OP - in fact, I'm thinking of nicking it for my list of hypothetical future DSs

I think it goes well with Jonny (which I also love but could never use because of dodgy estranged relative. You have great taste). Don't worry about the same initial - my sibling and I share an initial, and it has never caused a problem in 32 years and no one has ever commented.

If you and DP like it, go for it.

I rather like it. I think of the stone or crystal.

[LeviOsaNotLeviosAR]

I have a cat called Jasper. The little boy who had him before me named him and DP and I loved the name so much we kept it.
I'm a little disappointed that if we have a DS in the future I can't use the name.

[Mrsknackered]

I love it. We have a baby Jasper in our family.
I have seen a few negative comments about it though and my mum thinks it's very pretentious!

[RhythmAndStealth]

I luffs it.

[UsaNayme]

First thought is Jasper from Twilight for some reason. I suppose it's the only time I've heard it.

Both Twilight and Jasper Carrot aren't lasting references

It's nice, and I think it's on the rise right now

[chocolateshortcake]

I have a Jasper. I love the name. He's super cool. We have only ever had positive comments about his name (not that I care what anyone else thinks but there you go)

[DijonVu]

I loved it so much I named my cat Jasper! But then again there are loads of animals called human names, so if you like it use it

[ilovepixie]

I like it. And jasper and Jonny go well together.

[Justkeepleft]

Love it. Mine is 9. I first heard the name as the dutch pronunciation (j= our y) and fell in love with it so we use that. It is one of the reasons I married my dutch DH😉

[sexcauldron]

Jasper is the beardy old man off the Simpsons....sorry but I can't hear the name without thinking of him

[Farfromtheusual]

Love it! Would probably use it if it didn't rhyme with DPs surname

[Ecclesiastes]

Superb name. One of the coolest.

[scrivette]

It's a great name.

[GreenTulips]

Yes that's right! He was a nice ghost!!

[disneykid]

@GreenTulips I think that's Caspar - which is just as bad 😂

[GreenTulips]

Isn't Jasper a ghost?
