Jasper? What do you think?

[RetroMum1]

As simple as that really, what do you think of when you hear Jasper or what do you think of the name?.

Thanks

Like it a lot. It goes with Hector and Casper to me. I think of the geology -- it's a beautiful mineral, comes in red, green, yellow and brownish hues and sometimes blue, I think.

I really hope ours isn't going to be the naughtiest child in the school!.

The twilight thing is really annoying I haven't read them but I bet it will boost it up the charts.

The wasp thing is really funny/interesting I was born and brought up in Worcestershire and have recently returned here but I have never heard the term Jaspers!.

We live on a farm, so the outside them is great weehector. We also both work in the theatre so I guess an arty name was always going to work for us.

I quite like the nickname Jazz or Jazzy when he's little but DH hates both.

I love the name Jasper, as a child I had a cuddly toy which I named Jasper and if I ever had a son I would call him this. Dh disagrees but seeing as our family is complete it's a moot point.

I love it !
Jasper was in our top 10 for our DS2 along with Evan, Toby, Perry, and Tate.

JaynieB thats really really freaky as DS is Oscar and had DD been a DS she would have been a Jasper but had to be a Violet instead!

i like it. It is the name of one of the characters in the Twilight saga - which are all fairly old fashioned, but seem to be appearing more and more in the lists of curerent favourites (as they are all lovely names - imo)

Other names i like from Twilight are - Esme, Rosalie, Bella, Edward, Jacob

I like it - wonder how manly it sounds though compared to something like Tom or Jack etc - but that's probably just me.

I like the name Jasper and it was on my list of boys names, partly cos my baby was conceived in Jasper. However no-one else around me liked it, in fact it got quite a negative response which shocked me and caused me to not tell anyone any other possible names so i wasn't put off them. I had baby Rosie last Monday emergency c 5 weeks early. she's in an incubator but all going well except that she is v small and has to grow, Rosie Grow!

as an avid Twilight fanatic, I love the name!!! Jasper Hale is an excellent fictional character x

Sorry to hear Rosie had too come out 5 weeks early grumpy, but really lovely to hear how well she is doing, I'm sure she'll fill out very quickly and you'll all be home soon.

We have a daughter Poppy and if this wasn't a Jasper she'd have been Rosie so beautiful name choice!.

Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful little one.

I loved the name but every single person I said it to either said 'Carrot' or 'its a dogs name.'

We have one so recommend it highly.

He is nearly 3 and never having glanced at a Twilight book had no idea there is a Jasper in them. He is regularly called Jas and it suits him. He is rather naughty though, it has to be said.

Congrats grumpy, grow Rosie grow.

My son is called Jasper - we like it!!!!

I really like it.

To me it is Jasper Hale from Twilight too-but I am a Twi-Hard
