Jasper or August?

[Hea1991]

After a very long and hard surrogacy journey, my DS Xander is finally getting a new little brother!
Only problem is we are struggling with a name. Xander was the only boys name we agreed on and still get lots of nice comments about it so want something that both ‘goes with it’ and is great in its own right.
Our shortlist at the moment is Jasper or August - which do you think goes better and open to any suggestions but we can’t have Otis, Otto or Magus.

nope February!

I would pronounce it the same way as the month. Would possible consider spelling with an ‘e’ on the end though like Auguste Rodin as I like how I looks

Jasper sounds like a cat or dog name to me. I’m not a fan. August is a girl’s name, surely.

Sadly we already have a Felix in the family otherwise that would've been top of my list as I think it goes so well. There’s something about Cosmo I love but we have a double barrelled surname that begins with K so I’m wondering if it might be a bit much?

I prefer Jasper. Others:

Atlas
Silas

I think if he'll be born on February I'd go with Jasper or maybe Josiah?

Jasper is lovely.

I don't think Xander would want to be friends with Spike 😂

Hector also…?

Jasper.

Jasper

Though I quite like Gus

August is, to me, a girls name. Only ever met summer born girls with that name. (U.K.)

Jasper is ok but a bit ... Etonian. Floppy haired cricket player with a bosomy nanny.

I do like the suggestion of Hector to go with Xander.

OP says they CANT have that.
