Final two - what do you think

Jasper Timothy
or
Felix Timothy?

(I know some people think Jasper and Felix are pets names, but we don't!)

Thanks :)

Jasper by miles.

Every name is a pet name to someone.

DragonPoop · 29/03/2021 17:09

I like both! Probably slightly like Felix more

tier4tears · 29/03/2021 17:11

Jasper definitely

TeddyBeans · 29/03/2021 17:12

Jasper

costco · 29/03/2021 17:12

they're both great names, very old ones. I really like Jasper because it has different versions for different languages, whereas Felix stays the same, slightly less interesting.

Chilldonaldchill · 29/03/2021 17:12

I really like them both. I think I slightly prefer Jasper but probably only because i know a lot of Felixes.

Jasper

Volcanoexplorer · 29/03/2021 17:17

Definitely Jasper. Can’t get past the cat association with Felix, sorry

RuthW · 29/03/2021 17:37

That's a tough one as I love both.

Probably Jasper at a push.

WeAreAllCompletelyFine · 29/03/2021 17:39

Felix. It's more pleasant. Jasper I find harsh somehow (although I love Casper Confused)

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 29/03/2021 17:44

I like both but if pushed I think I'd choose Felix - it has a more modern/contemporary sound to me (even though it's an old name). Jasper feels more part of the retro/vintage revival trend imo - so as Timothy was more popular mid century, I'd pair it with Felix.

littlemisslozza · 29/03/2021 17:45

I prefer Timothy nn Tim! Not popular at the moment and a great name! Jasper is marginally better than Felix but I'm afraid I don't like either of them.

littlemisslozza · 29/03/2021 17:49

Not just pets, also pests as my grandad calls wasps Jaspers! No idea if that's a common thing though 😂

JeanClaudeVanDammit · 29/03/2021 17:50

I prefer Felix by far. Even though it’s a brand of cat food, to me Jasper is the name of an actual cat.

Violetlavenders · 29/03/2021 17:50

Jasper! Great name.

In the UK Felix a well known brand of cat 🐈 food.

Thefaceofboe · 29/03/2021 18:22

I love Jasper

elliemara · 29/03/2021 18:53

Both are lovely but if I had to choose I'd go with Felix!

Amdone123 · 29/03/2021 18:58

Jaspar. I've never thought of this name before ( probably because I've never met any), but the more I say it, the more I like it. It's lovely for a baby, toddler and cool for a teenager !
Felix ( not met any either), but it's a bit meh. Also, yes, cat food.

Amdone123 · 29/03/2021 18:59

Just realised I spelt it with an a. I like it with an a.

sarah13xx · 29/03/2021 19:29

I like both names but I think I’d just slightly sway towards Jasper! Really like it and I think it would be high up my list if it didn’t sound so much like my partners name

Thanks everyone, seems like Jasper is the most popular choice :)

Jasper

May2021Mummy · 29/03/2021 21:39

I think Jasper flows better with Timothy but they are both equally nice names

DramaAlpaca · 29/03/2021 22:07

Jasper.

I find Felix very feline, but don't associate Jasper with pets at all.
