Sebastian or Jasper?

Just that really.

I’m having trouble choosing between these two names after a lot of discussion to get here.
I really liked Gabriel, but was vetoed.

Forgot to say prefer Jasper

I love Sébastien. I don't like Jasper as much but don't hate it.

Don't think these names or their nicknames are wet! In particular Seb/Sebastian. Pretty and punchy.

Find jasper pretentious though - used to be a posh name and is now bit hipster/ironic

Jasper. Lovely.
Also, there are lots of Sebs on our toddler circuit.

I really don't like Sebastian.

Seb reminds me of sebaceous, oily, so don't like it at all. And Basty is too close to bastard imo.

The person who said that Jasper is slang for a wasp, where in the country is that from? Not heard that myself.

Jasper always immediately makes me think of Casper the friendly ghost. I don't know why but I can never get it out of my head. I prefer Sebastian out of the two.
