Jasper comes from from the Persian for treasurer, and the stone: traditionally one of the three magi.
How Jasper sounds in a full name
Jasper runs to two beats. It closes on an “er”, which sets two traps at once: middles opening on R run straight into it, and middles ending in -er or -ar rhyme with it. At two beats, Jasper sits comfortably with one- and three-syllable middles; a two-syllable middle gives a steadier 2–2 rhythm, which some ears prefer and others find flat.
