looking for a nickname for Jasper

JenRex · July 2010

Hello!

I have a major problem. My son is now 5 weeks old and completely wonderful but i let my husband name him and he decided on Jasper (it was the best on a list of really bad names that he wanted) Personally, now that it's been a few weeks I've realized that I dont like it that much. What's a good nickname for Jasper? The only thing I've come up with is Jay or I might call him by his middle name (which I picked out) which is Willem. Any suggestions are welcomed!

Assuming this isn't a troll....

Um, if you didn't like it you shouldn't have used it.

I like the name Jasper and wouldn't use a nickname.

In Twilight, the nn for Jasper is Jazz

A nickname doesnt have to be based off your LO's name, it can just be some fond term that reminds you of your LO...I cant really think of anything besides like Jas/Jaz. Goodluck...

I was gonna say Jazz, too. But I like Jasper much better. Cute! Question: What's his middle name? He could always be J.C., J.T., etc.

Oh, and don't worry: at first I thought we had made a mistake calling our son Owen. I thought he looks more like a this, or we should have called him that. But after a few months, I know we made the right choice and I have no second thoughts

I can only think of Jazz or Jay... a lot of nicknames come from sources other than names, though. Personally, I would just call him Jasper unless another nickname presented itself...

Maybe you're just going through this. I did as well. I think the name Jasper is a great name and doesn't need a nickname. I know a Jasper that's in his 30s and when I first met him I thought it was such a cool name.

As other ppl mentioned Jas, Jay and initials are all I can think of as well.

I would call him Jazzy maybe?

Honestly I would just stick with Jasper a while longer. It very well may grow on you (I didn't think Matthew fit DS at first, either). Like give him to 6 months maybe, and by that time if you still hate it, you'll see more of his personality to give him an appropriate nn.

My husband's name is Jason and I call him J (Jay) all the time because I don't like Jace.

Just start calling him a random nickname you like and see if it sticks. My friend's SO goes by Beau and it has nothing to do with his name, first/middle/or last.
