Jasper or Rufus?

Baby boy was born 3 days ago and after quite a lot of wrangling, we’ve managed to get the list down to two names.
We already have a son called Sebastian.
I’m aware many will think of these names as dog/cat/, that’s fine, had he been a girl I would have chosen Tabitha!
Votes please!

Same here Tatiana.

Rufus is a dogs name to my ears.

Icklepup · 19/07/2018 16:46

Aww, he's a Rufus.

Movablefeast · 19/07/2018 16:49

Rufus is a wonderful name.

Ignore all the "dog's name" comments Hmm

Love the contrast of Sebastian and Rufus x

I know a dog called Rufus. It’s a yappy terrier type.

He definitely looks like a Jasper, Rufus is the name of friends dog!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 19/07/2018 16:57

I know three dogs called Rupert.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 19/07/2018 16:58

Rufus even Grin

I have a Jasper and a Huxley so clearly I love a dog name! 🤣 Rufus was also on my list but I knew my DS1 would be Jasper as I'd chosen that name years before I even met my Husband!

Rufus

Op, he is such a Rufus! Gorgeous cheeks Smile.

We have a Rufus and a Felix. Jasper and Sebastian are both on the shortlist for dc3. (As is Maximilian if you want another option).

AnyaMoondial · 20/07/2018 15:19

Aw he's such a bonnie lad op! Whatever name you choose will be perfect.

finallychangedmyusername · 20/07/2018 18:16

Oh yes, he's a Rufus for sure! Jasper is also lovely though.

Flip a coin, if you feel disappointed with the outcome, then you'll know to switch!

I love all your names. Rufus and Jasper are on my current baby name list along with a Tabitha.
I think Rufus may be my favourite?

How about Felix? Grin
