Jasper as a middle name for a girl?

Hello All,

I'm 35 weeks along and
my hubby is adamant on Jasper as our little girls second middle name. We both like the meaning of 'supreme nurturer' and like that she'll be our little gemstone but I'm concerned that the knee-jerk reaction is 'oh that's a boys name isn't it?'

It's giving me incredible anxiety right now especially since my hubby refuses to budge or modify it because he's very sentimental about it. Am I being too sensitive? For context her full name will be

Corianne Marina Jasper Brookes

People will just assume it’s a family surname so I wouldn’t worry about it - unless it bothers you. Neither of you should be able to dictate a name the other really doesn’t like.

A slightly different perspective.
Our children have two middle names.
We agreed that the first name had to be one we both really liked.
Then we would choose one middle name each. I don't like the MN that he chose for my dd (it's not offensive, it's a normal name but I just don't like it); he doesn't particularly love the MN that I chose. But those names had a lot of meaning for each of us and I love the name as a whole for what it means.
It sounds as though you have done similar - you like Marina and he's not that bothered, he's picked Jasper and you don't really like it.
Unless you are going to insist that you both love all 3 names then this seems like a good solution to me.
