Hey again,
While I’m still torn between [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], I was wondering how popular [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is.
Let me know how many 5 year olds and under you know with the name or just how trendy you feel it is…
(I dont like want to name my son the “[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]” or “[name_m]Todd[/name_m]” equivalent of the 1980s…a name that will feel dated in 15 years)

I’ve never met a [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. I don’t think it’s trendy or popular enough to feel dated later.

[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] is pretty classic. The only way to really tell if it will feel dated, is to compare its popularity throughout the years.

In that last 116 years, it was at its peak in 1900 at #197. It bounced around the 200’s for nearly 30 years and then had a steady decline until 1970 when it reached its lowest place at #813. Since 1970 its been all over the charts, often dropping and rising 100 places in the matter of a year! In the past 10 years it has climbed quickly and it’s almost at its peak position again.

All in all, [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] won’t feel dated any time soon. Maybe in the next 20 years if it manages to reach the top 20 we will be re-discussing it, but just like the small amount of boys named [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] in 1990, they will never sound dated unlike the tens of thousands named [name_u]Aidan[/name_u] in 2015.

The only [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] I know of is my age.

I know one [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], and he’s seven. I don’t think it will feel dated, so I wouldn’t worry.

I came across a [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] in passing (didn’t even see him, just heard a mom calling “[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]!” at the restaurant where I work). That’s about it, though. It’s much more popular on Nameberry than I’ve ever encountered in real life.

That being said, I’m not sure how it ranks nationally. I wouldn’t find it common or trendy, but it has jumped (pretty much straight up) three hundred points on the SSA list in the past 10 years, so I do think that makes it a little trendy. But I also find it timeless, and really wouldn’t pinpoint [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] to ANY decade at this point, especially in the US, because it feels incredibly timeless and British to me.

Good luck!
