I think this has just become my number 2 favorite. Maybe even my number 1 favorite. :-X

I know it's becoming popular, but there is a reason for it.

Any of these strike your fancy?

Jasper Amos
Jasper Ezra
Jasper Henry
Jasper Lewis
Jasper Luke
Jasper Micah
Jasper Nicholas
Jasper Silas

Got any other ideas? I haven't yet settled on the perfect combo. Ideally it would complement Felix Jude.

Jasper is my fave male name and has been for years. If our baby is a boy, this will most probably be his name. Unfortunately it is gaining in popularity, not sure why and not happy about it either tbh! Of your combos I like/love:

Jasper Amos
Jasper Henry
Jasper Lewis
Jasper Luke
Jasper Silas

I had thought of Jasper Luke at one stage. We also like Jasper Seth too, but have decided on a different combo.

Eta: I think Felix and Jasper would be an awesome sib set, love it!

I like Jasper Henry, Jasper Nicholas and Jasper Silas. Jasper's one of my favourites too. Also love Felix Jude! Felix and Jasper would go very well together, I think.

LOL. If I were to have 2 boys now, they would totally be named Jasper and Felix. A sibset I have loved for a while now.

Jasper is what Linnea would've been called if she had been a boy. Jasper Stanley. (Stanley is a family name)

From your list, I like Jasper Henry, Jasper Lewis, Jasper Nicholas, Jasper Silas.

Jasper Augustus
Jasper Elias
Jasper Simeon
Jasper Thaddeus
Jasper Claude

Jasper Stanley

I almost died from how awesome that name is. So adorable!

I *love* Jasper Elias.

Wow - you are really close to delivery! I know this is not on topic, I just noticed your ticker. I haven't been on BtN for a while.

On topic - I like Augustus and Thaddeus, but not combined with Jasper.

From your list I like Jasper Elias and Jasper Claude. I like Jasper Simeon too, but I'm just more used to the Simon spelling.

I love Jasper Amos.

Jasper Alexander was on our 'list' but not sure if that's too much of a mouthful with Felix Jude.

I really like Jasper but many people think of it as "one of those fancy Twilight names".

Jasper Amos & Jasper Henry are nice combos.
Ezra is nms.

I love the name Silas, but Jasper Henry has the best flow, so that one is my favorite out of your combos. Jasper Nicholas and Jasper Micah are nice as well.

Other ideas:
Jasper Miles
Jasper Vincent
Jasper Elliot / Elliott
Jasper Edmund
Jasper Conrad
Jasper David
Jasper Simon
Jasper Solomon
Jasper Tobias
Jasper Thomas
Jasper Callum / Calum
Jasper Colin / Collin
Jasper Leo
Jasper Leon
Jasper August
Jasper Augustus
Jasper Adrian
Jasper Clement
Jasper Glenn
Jasper Sidney
Jasper Alden
Jasper Cole
Jasper Winston
Jasper Leland
Jasper Heath
Jasper Liam
Jasper Isaac

It does have a slow, warm, sunny, sandy feeling that's pleasant, although I don't particularly like it. I used to love it in high school, though. Out of your combos Jasper Amos, Jasper Henry, and Jasper Silas both really capture the full feeling of it, but Jasper Nicholas is my favorite. It has a great look and sound, and also probably sticks out to me because my husband's name is Nicholas and his best friend's name is Jasper. Jasper Elijah.

I think Jasper Ezra goes the best with Felix Jude. Here are some other combo ideas that I think stick with that same feel I like:
Jasper Benjamin
Jasper Clairborne
Jasper Elisha
Jasper Ellis
Jasper Emil
Jasper Morgan
Jasper Norman
Jasper Shelby
Jasper Sidney
Jasper Warren
Jasper Whitney

I like Casper more than Jasper, but I do love Jasper. It's so friendly sounding. Felix and Jasper would be AMAZING TOGETHER omg.

Jasper Henry is fantastic. My favourite out of yours up there! It shines like a jewel, it's so rich.

Also what about:

Jasper Thomas
Jasper Eli
Jasper Frederick
Jasper Francis
Jasper Simon
Jasper William

And you know Felix and Jasper together would be a great Avonlea tribute :)

Jasper has REALLY grown on me. I like it a lot now, maybe even love it. Jasper Amos is great and I love Jasper and Silas for brothers.

Oh I love Jasper! :)
I like a lot of the middle names, as names, but I don't like the combos. Jasper Lewis, Jasper Nicholas and Jasper Silas are the best.

Jasper Solomon
Jasper Edmund
Jasper Isaac
Jasper Arthur
Jasper Godwin
Jasper Nikolai
Jasper Sigismund
Jasper Maximilian
Jasper Rufus
Jasper Wilmer
Jasper Jeremiah
Jasper Ezekiel
