that girls will like having that name! I've been a "Jasper" since 1982, and aside from one old man at a campsite (when I was about 4), I have yet to meet another Jasper in person. Though I do live in Northeast Wisconsin, which I've been told makes a big difference. Apparently it'd be easy for me to meet a bunch of them down South (in the U.S.A. that is...). For those considering the name... I'd say go for it. Nobody forgets my name. Pretty girls seem to find me interesting and slightly more attractive because of it. And I've actually grown proud of it myself, if only because it makes me feel unique. Hey! I'm a 19 year old GIRL named Jasper, and I seriously love my name! I've yet to meet another female Jasper, but that's one of the things I like. My parents based their decision on the reference made to "Jasper" stone in the Bible. I do have a more traditional female middle name, but I honestly prefer my first name 100%. So, to anyone considering naming their new daughter Jasper, go for it! Ick! Another great boys name ruined by people using it to name their girls. This name was our first choice for our next son, but I guess I may have to change it if too many people are naming their girls Jasper. I don't want people having to ask me if my child Jasper is a boy or a girl. Ridiculous! Seriously,
