[Opinions] Re: Fancy BA: Jasper Equinox
I really like Jasper. Generally, I am not into gemstone names, but I associate it more with various historical figures including a couple of artists and one of the folktales that names the Wisemen in the Christmas story. Additionally, it gives me 17th century explorer and genial rapscallion vibes complete with lace cuffs and a big hat with a feather. Equinox seems random unless he was born during the equinox.Josephine is one of those 19th century distinguished names that feels young and fresh again on a modern child. Jo March gives it a literary connection, and it has lots of nicknames to choose from. I would probably use Josie as a nickname but Phina could work on the right person. Clara is okay. It reminds me of the rich girl in Heidi and Clara Barton.

He was born during the equinox! I wonder if they would have used another name otherwise.
