Really really thinking of changing my name to this. [name_u]Ive[/name_u] been trying the nicknames Jaspie and [name_u]Perry[/name_u] for it aswell. I already get Jas/Jazz and JJ as a [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] so would continue them aswell.
I think [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] is a wonderful name! It’d age well, it’s earthy and bright, and it’s got some really lovely nicknames, as you mentioned. I think [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] is an all-around great pick.
I agree that it’s both a sleek and earthy name - it makes me think of the wind rustling through leaves. I also think the nn [name_u]Perry[/name_u] is absolutely lovely and has an approachable, friendly quality to it that [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] on its own doesn’t conjure for me. The only remotely negative association I can think of with [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] is that it’s the name of one of the henchmen from 101 Dalmatians - but I can’t imagine that would be many people’s first thought on hearing the name.
Thank you so much. You’ve definitely covered the vibes of the name as well as [name_u]Perry[/name_u]! I do think that [name_u]Perry[/name_u] has a very certain friendly vibe to it. And yes, I doubt many would go straight to 101 dalmations
