Jasper is the name of a character in the kids TV show Steven Universe. She's an alien from a species that doesn't have genders, but is considered female. Jasper is a villain, and not the best namesake.
Jasper is one of the bigger national parks in Canada, with spectacular scenery and a lot of elk. I've been there plenty of times for camping, and I'll never be able to unlink the name Jasper from the park.
