Is Jasper a good name?

Question

I was wondering what other people thought of this name.

Answer 1

I honestly think his little friends will make fun of him.  It sounds like Casper and it's very unusual.

Then again Jasper Johns is one of my favorite painters.  Maybe you should ask him!  :-)

There are other Jaspers, including a comedian and and quite a  few place names:

Answer 2

i like it, it's different.

Answer 3

It's pretty old-fashioned to me. It just has to suit person who has the name, though.

Answer 4

Well, it's okay. It's not bad or anything, I sort of like it. Tucker is a cool name too.And Cole....

Answer 5

I like it, but it is a bit unusual, so it may be best as a middle name.

Also, it reminds me of one of the henchmen of Cruella de Ville in 101 Dalmatians who was named Jasper. So there's that...

Answer 6

It is a slang term for "Rascal" in some states; Arkansas in particular. If you already have it, don't obsess. If you are naming a child, give him three names so he will have two options if he decides to switch.
