Rory.

I find Jasper a bit 'posh character in sitcom'

Rory. Also like Caspar as an alternative

Seapsweetsesamethingy · 13/05/2024 13:55

Rory ❤️

Jasper is my dog. 😂

MidnightPatrol · 13/05/2024 13:55

Unhelpful but both nice choices!

Moreteaandchocolate · 13/05/2024 13:56

I like both, but Rory is my favourite - a gorgeous name.

LeftTheWashingOut · 13/05/2024 14:02

Rory ☺️

Pipsquiggle · 13/05/2024 14:06

Both lovely.

I would go for the one that blends with the surname better

Reugny · 13/05/2024 14:06

Both names of comedians!

tiredandabitfat · 13/05/2024 14:08

I find them quite different- Rory is more traditional (albeit enjoying a surge in popularity at the moment). Jasper feels more "trendy" although it is also an old name.

My preference would be Rory.

Needanewname42 · 13/05/2024 15:01

Rory.

AdaColeman · 13/05/2024 15:56

Both are great names, pick the one that goes best with your surname.

GoodVibesHere · 13/05/2024 16:06

I'd be worried incase the child can't pronounce his 'Rs' (like Jonathan Ross) so he'd be 'Wor-wy'. But what are the chances of that I suppose.

I don't like Jasper, it's too cartoony.

shoopshoopdedoo · 13/05/2024 16:10

Love Rory!!

I really don’t like Jasper - but I know I’m in the minority as it seems so popular on here!

Newsenmum · 13/05/2024 16:11

Jasper sounds cute and a bit quirky, perhaps posh.
Rory is only posh and a bit of an old school boy (in my opinion/experience of those with those names!)

ginasevern · 13/05/2024 16:34

I prefer Rory, it's a good solid Irish or Scottish name. I don't hate Jasper but back in my day it would have been considered cringingly posh, unless you were at Eton or something.

RuthW · 13/05/2024 16:39

Jasper by a mile

Rory - any day of the week.
