Jasper or Ralph

[JemimaTiggywinkle]

What do you think of Jasper and Ralph?

And if you like these, what other names do you like?

I also like Rory but it doesn’t sound right with our surname.

Jasper sound sassy. Ralph sounds a bit wet... Nn Jass sounds cool but betcha Ralph would get Ralphie..even more drippy..

I like both these names. Went for Rufus in the end.

Rafe
Felix
Rafferty (Raffie)

I like Ralph but hate Rafe. Sounds pretentious.

Watching with interest! I have both of these on my list for DC2, we have one DS at the moment and he is a Rudy.

Also love Otis and Flynn

I like Jasper a lot, but prefer Rafe to Ralph.
Similar names that I like are Jago, Hugo, Rufus, Darius.

Aw Ralph is so sweet.

Jasper is just meh

Ralph will always remind me of the name of the boyfriends penis in Forever by Judy Bloom

Love Jasper!

I love Jasper. Top of my list

Love Jasper.

Are you pronouncing Ralph as Rafe or Ralf?

Jasper makes me think of Jasper Carrot which I know is irrelevant to those born today but it personally puts me off they name.

I was wondering when Judy Blume would come up. Luckily I haven’t read it, so doesn’t put me off.

@ZoyaTheDestroyer Ralph would be pronounced ‘Ralf’.

Just my sixpence worth. I always think Rafe is odd. People assume it is Ralph but pronounced Rafe. As for Jasper? Oh Sir Jasper!! Do not touch me! (google it).

How's about a mix of the two? Rasper? It is growing on me already.

I'm not sure why, but tbh both sound like cat names to me 😺

Jasper for me, Ralph is very wet sounding.

I’m not so keen on Jasper. I like Rafe - pronounced and written that way. Ralph could grow on me.

Marcus
Rupert
Laurence

We've had an explosion of baby Ralph's around here lately, so if you are worried about popularity, I'd give it a swerve.

Jasper definitely of the two. I really dislike Ralph - it makes me think of the US slang for vomiting. I love pp suggestion of Rufus though.

Jasper is fab. Ralph reminds me of Ralph wiggum from the Simpson’s

Jasper is a great name. Ralph is nice too.

So cool

I think they are both great. I particularly like Jasper.

I love both. I prefer Rafe over Ralph though.
Rufus
Rupert
Magnus
Felix
James
Leo
Milo
Miles
Fergus

I love Rory! That's a shame re surname.

Don't like Jasper much and really dislike Ralph - they both sound v wet to me. Rafe pronunciation is nice though, but think you have to spell it like that.

Like the Rufus suggestion - also Milo, Miles, Hugo, Hugh, Thomas, Lawrence, Silas, Jacob, Joseph, Reuben, Marcus, Guy...

@frenchtoast88 Once you’ve read Forever, you can’t associate Ralph with anything else!
