I just adore him. Gaspard might be the more obvious choice for us, though he feels heavier and harder to say.

Lola, I too am an avid Balthazar fan, and think that would be a superb choice for you. But you have so many, you’d have to have a litter to use all my favorites!

Abby, I’d forgotten I’d asked you to write about Jasper, so this was a pleasant surprise. Thank you! I think I have to wrangle him back onto the list. I thought he’d be the perfect compromise name for us as DH seems to love cowboy names (Jesse, Luke, Cash (!)), but he just thinks it sounds hickish. I’m working on him, though.

Every bunny she’s ever received has been nameed Jasper. No clue where that came from, but I can live with it. :P Me, I’d rather Casper/Caspar or better still, Balthazar (one of my Grandmother’s 12 brothers) but I find Jasper worthy. I love his crisp feel, snappy sound and the way he looks written down. I can easily see a creative Jasper (it gives off that artsy vibe to me) but also a solid working guy. Japer the lawyer? check, Jasper the painter? check, Jasper the President? check, Jasper the Art dealer? check. See, he fits all over the place. If he didn’t sound patently ridiculous with my overtly Scottish surname, I’d use him myself, despite his lack of nicknames, I find Jasper warm, friendly and spunky. And I like that.

Thanks to my lovely daughter for introducing me to Twilight, I’ve found a lot of really neat names, including Jasper. It does sound a tad feminine, but also very strong. It will definitely be popular in the near future, when all the Twilight-loving teens are having kids.

To my mind, he would have to be fashionable and artistic to pull it off…
