Re: Jasper
in reply to a message by ajr
I love the name Jasper, but I don't really have a reason why!
I like the fact that it's easy to spell and pronounce, but it's not really common.
It's substantial as a name on it's own, but short enough that it doesn't require a nickname.
It has an old fashioned charm which I really like. I love names which are old fashioned sounding but are coming back around. I get a similar vibe from Jasper as Oscar, Archie, George, Harvey, Arthur, Peter and other names which are becoming more popular for babies (in the UK anyway)
I also like that Jasper is definitely a boys name. I don't think Jasper is a name which will become trendy on girls. At least I seriously hope it doesn't!
