Jasper or Milo?

[KickinTheRibs]

Which one? We both like both but I sway more towards Jasper while OH sways more towards Milo.

We’ve spent the last 9 months going through pretty much every boy name on the planet and have boiled it down to these two 😂

To me Jasper is a fine, strong name and Milo is wishy-washy. So Jasper.

I have a ds aged 13 who is called Milo. It really suits him and has done for all ages so far.

I like Jaspar as well, not sure on an adult though. I also have a ds called Caspar so quite similar to your choices. I really like both names.

Definitely Jasper for me!

Jasper. To me it's a much stronger name and goes into adulthood better.

Milo, I know two my cat and a seven year old 🙂

@Newbeginnings90

I know a family with a Jasper and a Milo and they are both cats.

What's that got to do with the OP's decision? I never understand why on pretty much every name thread people feel the need to chime in with pets they know who have human names. I know a dog called Jeff. So what? Anyway OP, I would go with Jasper.

Jasper I hate Milo

I have a Milo and I had a dog called Jasper so I love both names. Hard choice op. Milo is becoming more popular now.

I’ve got a Jasper so my vote is for Jasper 🥰 He always get loads of compliments on having such a lovely name.

Jasper. Milo is a drink

Milo to me is a dogs name...because I know so many dogs called Milo 🤷‍♀️

(But I don't like Jasper either, sorry...it just sounds a bit 'wet' to me and I can't get past the 'Etonian' sound of it either 🤦‍♀️, or the possibility of anyone saying it with a lisp!)

In Australia, Milo is a very popular powdered chocolate milk drink. Absolutely delicious.

Even so, I think I prefer Milo. It’s certainly not a negative connotation and there’s something about the sound of Jasper I’m not keen on.

Having serious milo cravings now though…

Jasper. Milo is a drink

Oh I thought it was!

I have a 3yo Milo and I love it. I like Jasper too, but obviously prefer Milo.

Fwiw - there was a milo in Tweenies which must be coming up for 15-20 years ago and is now irrelevant.

And for those saying it's a dogs name, I know dogs called James, Hamish, Harry and Simon so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly @GreenWheat I had a cat called Jessica and one called Jacob. I know many many children with those names - should someone not call their baby Jacob because I once had a cat with that name? Would wipe out a large percentage of boys born in the last 10-15 years

Milo is my preference.

Have to admit I did have a little chuckle as Jasper and Milo are the names of my cousins labradors.

@Newbeginnings90

I know a family with a Jasper and a Milo and they are both cats.

I thought of pets names.

Thanks all! I think we’ll go with Jasper.

Fun fact: my childhood cat was called Jasper. Well aware it can be a pets name doesn’t bother me in the slightest. We also have a cat called Derek 🤣🙈

That’s really cute@KickinTheRibs. I genuinely would’ve loved to learn I’d been given the same name as the cat. We’ve had lots of human names pets too.

Also stealing ‘Derek’ if I ever get a boy cat 😂. Awesome cat name.

Is the point of the forum not to get a broad sense of different folks opinions?

For the record: I wish your family all the best OP and I think Derek is a fabulous name for a Cat 🐈

Jasper. Our rescue dog is called Milo.

Jasper!

Neither

Milo is a dog's name , so I would definitely go Jasper
