Jasper for a girl?

[Cactus3]

I love it and have met only a couple of little boys with the name. It feels proper but also a little different. But can it be a girls name too?

Carrott. Lol

No, it really isn't unisex.

Please no.

Fred is a nice name.

Donald?

I’m in Scotland. I know quite a few Jaspers. All boys or men.

Or cats.

Jesper?
Also boys but looks and sounds slightly more feminine to me.

Awful for a boy (it just sounds so wet), would be even worse for a girl.

I went to school with a female Jasper. She'd be in her 20s now. I don't think it ever cause an issue - certainly no more than female Alexs, female Charlies, female Sams etc.

I think it's fine. It's a nature name, ultimately, so isn't really comparable to something distinctly masculine like William.

My nana had a female cat called jasper.
(It was wrongly sexed). It suited her but I wouldn't call a child that

No she won't thank you for it

... Hester?

I wouldn't, but then my male cat is called Jasper.

I quite like it for a girl! But then again I also like James for a girl so what do I know?

No

My spaniel was called Jasper, it's not a girls name

I met a baby girl called Bob yesterday. I liked it. She might have been Roberta.

Jazzber?

It's odd how most jewel/semi-precious-stone names are for girls, but Jasper is only used for boys.

How about Topaz, Amber, Pearl, Ruby, Crystal, Jade or similar instead?

No.

No, go for Jasmine if you want a similar sound

I don't think it ever cause an issue - certainly no more than female Alexs, female Charlies, female Sams etc

Alex, Charlie and Sam are long-established diminutives of longer girls' names - Alexandra, Charlotte and Samantha.
They are not boys' names.

Jasper is a boys' name (and it's hideous)

I think it's quite a feminine sounding name so why not?

It’s not a unisex name - it’s a definite boys name (and not a very nice one at that). Why would you want to do that to your daughter?

No.

Only if you would call a boy Felicity.
