What you think of Jasper?

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

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

I luffs it.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

[Oddlookingeyes]

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

Congratulations & what a lovely name.

I think it's a great name.
