The meaning on this is very nice and I love love love the gemstone association! Jasper is such a gorgeous stone, I think it would be a great namesake to have :D Jas and Jazzy would be good nicknames, too.

So classy - an absolute “gem” of a name. I also like Casper, but the friendly ghost association is off putting, but Jasper is an even better alternative! It gives me similar vibes to Felix, yet I like it even more. I love the Cruella character too.

I really like Jasper for a boy! Casper is also nice. For a girl I feel mostly neutral on a it but I definitely can’t say that I like it. I do like the nickname Jazzy though (But I would prefer that for Jasmine or a name similar). Jasper is a rugged handsome name. The stone aspect of it only makes it more cool and interesting on a boy. There are so many stone names for girls! Let the boys have this one! I think of a smart and good-looking boy when I see this name. Jasper in the Bible was a male, so it would be a bit iffy on a girl but I’m not religious so... I would be happy to use Jasper as a first or middle name. The meaning “treasurer” is so precious and nice. It's also kinda sexy.I also think of that kid from Henry Danger.

I've been a Jasper since 1982. Still have not met another one in person.
It is strange. I am named after the place in Alberta... middle name is Lee... blah blah. Twilight should have been an exciting thing... but... How exciting can it really be to suddenly have your unusually rare name become a favorite among those who get knocked up while watching strangely lacking vampire movies? I met various infants who shared my name at that time... but... I have yet to meet a real Jasper. 1982 to 2019... not a single Jasper. Kinda gets to you... I ain't never felt like no part of all the Scott and Jeremy and Sarah and Kimberly and so on... No Dave. No Richard. No goddamned Debbie. Just.. always knew I would have to spend a few extra seconds explaining my damned name at every corner... Now... I have to throw in the "I was born before the Twilight shit, by far... and yes, I totally think it's "crazy" that 'Jasper' was some creature in those stories... or whatever... Sometimes I regret not having argued when I was named. I'd have made a completely passable Dave.

My son is named Jasper Lee. My great-grandpa's middle name was Jasper. Lee is after my husband, best friend, grandpa, and great-grandma. When we originally picked Jasper for his first name, I didn't realize that it was a family name. Our oldest child has a completely random name, so it felt awesome to continue with our 2nd and last baby and have a family name. I love that both of my kids names you DON'T hear at all!

This article is filled with errors and misinformation. The name JASPER comes from the bible (both the OT and NT) where it repeatedly refers to the precious gemstone by the same name. It is not the first time people have used gemstones as a name, for example, others include DIAMOND, PEARL, RUBY, etc.The article claims that JASPER is of Persian origin and means "Treasurer". This is incorrect; the word "Jasper" does NOT occur in either modern or ancient Persian. Nor is the modern Persian (Farsi) word for treasurer remotely related.The article claims that JASPER is related to GASPAR, CASPAR, and KASPAR and means "Treasurer". While these last three names can be traced back to the Chalean and ancient Hebrew word "GIZBAR" (See Wikipedia article on CASPER) and do indeed mean "Treasurer" there is NO etymological relationship between the name JASPER and any of these. In fact, the letter "J" did not enter the English language until centuries after those names.While it is true that some British Christmas plays did indeed substitute the name JASPER for CASPER there is no etymological relationship between the two names. However, the name JESPER (because of the letter "J") is most likely a cognate.

I always thought of the artist, Jasper Johns, when I heard this name. Now I think of my 1 year old son. I paired it with Boheme as a middle name. The artist Mark Ryden also named his son Jasper. Brecciated Jasper is a really pretty version of the stone. I definitely feel it's more masculine than feminine, but it's not completely macho. I think there is also a National Park in Canada named Jasper. It's a good nature name for boys. They are hard to come by without being too feminine, cheesy or overused. It took us forever to decide on a name. I was just calling him Comanche for a while. Boheme I've seen used as a girl's first name but I think it can go both ways. I sometimes call the baby Jasper Bo.

Jasper is very handsome and adorable. I love it with names like Hermione, Caspian, Loki and etc on my list. I feel I wouldn't use it because my friend has it higher up on their list but if I was, his name would be Jasper Edward Samuels and I find that so vogue and just reminds me of a sweet baby boy who's kind and just respectful. It also has a 1920s feel in my perspective and I love it so much because of it.

From Revelation 21:10-11 "And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.

This is a popular dog name, but don't let that stop you. Molly; Poppy; Harry and Max are very popular dog names too, and nobody bats an eyelid at those. Hey, I even had a dog called Jasper. He was amazing. Full of character. I would use this name on my son in a heartbeat. And as someone else commented above, I also love Jasper with Theodore, though maybe as brothers if I am that lucky.
And the similarity of Jassie to Jessie is another reason I think this name should be more popular.
Jasper being a 'nature name'; a semiprecious stone, is a plus.

I'd like to correct the name's official description. The three "wise men" were not likely to have been kings. It's far more likely that they were followers of Zoroaster, hence the term magi being associated with them. (Magi were adept at reading the stars, which is probably why they were led by a star to Jesus even in the more popular versions.) Since I'd hazard a guess that most people have not heard of Zoroastrianism these days, the meaning's been lost in favor of the "three kings at manger-side" portrayal, not that it's been helped any by carols or nativity scenes that depict the "wise men".

Jasper is a very cool name for a boy born in this decade. A lot of "J" names sound really good on guys and this one has a really nice, kinda quirky but hip sound to it. I have thought about naming a son this but not quite sure how his name would be received by the general public (I'm in the U.S.) as I think many people still think of this name as too old-fashioned sounding. Anyway, I think it is time for Jasper to be reborn and maybe it is starting to be. It's been increasing in popularity each year, at #337 in 2009.

As a name, it derives from Gaspar, which derives from an ancient Chaldean word, "Gizbar", meaning "treasurer".As a stone, it derives from Greek "iaspis", a green spotted stone, probably derived from a Semitic language, possibly Hebrew "yashpheh", meaning "to polish".

I adore this name. If I had a pet lion, I would name it Jasper.

Hhhhmmmm. Not sure what to think of this name. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. It's a nice name for an old man, but I can't see a toddler or a teenager named Jasper. Of course, all those old men named Jasper were young at some point.

Jasper is such, a cool, fresh, uncommon name! I like it - for a girl or boy. It reminds me of the name Juniper. Lol, Jasper and Juniper - now there's a unique sibset!

Yes, good name for a boy but /terrible/ for a girl! I don't care about naming girls after gemstones, please don't name your daughter this!

It is actually quite a good name for a boy who is full of passion and reasonable as well.

One of the worst names I've heard in my life. I hate this name with a fiery passion.

I know that you have this listed as a boys name but I think it could be used as a girls name with the reference to the gemstone!
