This is one of those vintage, old fashioned names that is less grandpa-ish and more edgy. I think a guy with this name would be very cool, probably an artist of some kind.
First Lieutenant Jarvis Jenness Offutt (1894–1918) was an American aviator who died while serving in World War I. Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska is named in his honor.
Personally, I love names that end in "is" I also love names that start with J. But sadly, too many people believe names like this are only for African-Americans. While I wouldn't name my son this, I still do love this name.
Ugh. This name is horrible. Luckily it is super rare, since most people recognize how ugly it is.

As an individual named Jarvis, I object. This name is definitely my favorite. You might think I'm biased but I swear I'm not, and my username might contain Michael in it but my real first name is Jarvis. Also, I take offense to those who said this name is deplorable.
My impression of this name is a really cool outgoing kid, who grows up to be likable and self-assured. Seems a cool name which can potentially shoot up in popularity a few years down the road, and since the hipsters are discovering this name now before it gets cool, I think Jarvis has a very jazzy old-school hipster vibe to it.

I love this name but do think it better suited to a furry friend than a human child.
This name makes me think of a really cool, musical, intelligent guy. Also, Jarvis Cocker, frontman of Pulp and musician. There is also the less-cool and less-famous bearer, Jarvis Lorry of A Tale of Two Cities.
