[Opinions] Maura and Jasper
I've really been into Maura and Jasper lately, so much so that they're on the verge of joining my short list of established favorites (Adele, Dorian, Elliot, Fiona, Helena, and Noel). I've never been able to see myself actually using Jasper (I don't know why - I just can't picture it), though I find it completely usable and have be loveloveloving it lately, while I can definitely see myself using Maura and I even think at one time I got it okayed by the bf. So situationally I guess it's a bit different, but they've both been on my mind a lot lately. WDYT?Also, I've started playing around with some combos -
Maura Daphne
Maura Elise
Maura Emmeline
Maura Imogen
Maura Penelope
Maura VioletJasper August
Jasper Blaise
Jasper Leo
Jasper Llewelyn
Jasper Morgan - I think this is my favorite at the momentWDYT? Any suggestions? Thanks!ETA: I also like Moira, though I feel like Maura is cleaner looking and sounding, which is more appealing. But I'm still curious: WDYT of Moira? Do you prefer it to Maura?

Maura is nmsaa. I actually really don't like the way it looks or sounds. Moira on the other hand is quite nice and seems like the cleaner option imo. Jasper I LOVE, as it's my favourite male name ever and if I was to have a DS one day, then this be the name I will use. As for your combos, I like/love:Moira Daphne
Moira Emmeline - My fave
Moira Imogen
Moira VioletJasper August
Jasper Leo - Really love this one
Jasper Llewelyn - Really love this too
Jasper Morgan

I love Jasper, but it's always been just a tiny bit too quirky for my own real life use, though that might change at some point. ;) Maura is lovely, but I do prefer Moira (which I prn. MOY-rah), and some other Mary variants. I think it's only because the sound of Maura makes me think a little too much of the word "moron". :-/ As for combos, of yours I like:
Maura Daphne
Maura Imogen
Maura Penelope
Maura VioletJasper August
Jasper Leo

I've really been liking Maura lately. Like I might go add it to my PNL. :) Maura Violet is very sweet. I really like it.Jasper is alright. I used to like it more. We have a good friend named Jasper, but he's the only one I know. I of course am a big advocate for your Jasper Llewelyn combo there, but Jasper Morgan is quite nice too.I prefer Maura to Moira. I actually think Moira looks and sounds cleaner and more modern or edgy than Maura, which are sometimes more appealing things to me. But in this case I love the look and sound of Maura much better.
