Jasper [Louis, Ludwig, Ludovic?]
My favorite name for a boy is undeniably Jasper now. I go back and forth between Isaac and Jasper, but Isaac to me is more cold and reserved, while Jasper is like a colorful explosion of confetti. I think, in the longterm, I should opt for confetti. It just makes me happier than playing it safe and clean-cut with Isaac. But the middle name is a problem. I thought Nathaniel for a while, but I have a cousin named Nathan, and he and his family have been notably unkind to me on many occasions, so I don't want to use Nathaniel. I do like Nate's new wife though -- she's cool.What do you think about Ludovic? Is Jasper Ludwig better? Beethoven is my favorite composer. Is Jasper Louis better? I'm kind of enjoying Ludovic.

Jasper is a really great name; I like it too. :) Though for me, it's the one that sounds colder and harsher than Isaac (which I also really like, btw).My ranking of your three possible combos:Jasper Louis - though it might be a bit boring :/
Jasper Ludovic
Jasper LudwigI'm just not a fan of Ludwig in general. The harsh 'd' + 'g' combination just doesn't work well for me.

Jasper I obviously love, as I stated in your other post. Tbh I don't like Ludwig or Ludovic at all, but Louis is nice and Jasper Louis has a good sound to it. That said, I'd prefer Jasper Isaac and then use Louis for Jasper's brother, should that happen.

When given a choice, confetti is always preferable. Jasper Louis is sweet and endearing, Jasper Ludovic bold, and Jasper Ludwig very classical, and by far my favourite.

Oh, I love Ludovic, but I happen to be in love with the feminine Ludovica (my cousin's gf is named this!). Jasper Ludovic is all kinds of confetti and fireworks me thinks. However, it also is screamingly "statement", with nothing quite traditional to keep it grounded, like Louis would. That doesn't really bother me, but if it bothers you, go with something like Jasper Isaac, the best of both worlds and infinitely more relatable (but less exciting). Jasper Ludwig has a flow and personality flatness that bothers me, sorry!FWIW - my favorite Louis variation is Loic. That's our choice if this is a boy.

Funny, I see Isaac and Jasper the other way around. Isaac is to me a sweet, happy and friendly guy while Jasper is a bit more reserved and cold. I prefer Isaac. I don't like Ludovic, but Ludwig is great. It's quite common here so I'm used to it. I think Jasper Louis has a better flow, but it's a bit more "playing it safe".

You're right -- in the long term, we should all opt for confetti. :)Jasper Lewis was a long time favorite of mine, so naturally I want to say Jasper Louis is my favorite here.Let's break these down:Jasper Nathaniel - This Nathan "Nate" cousin is irrelevant. This is a different name, plus it would be a middle name! Don't worry about him. Anyway, I think this combo is nice, it works, but doesn't quite have a pop. It kind of trails off.Jasper Ludovic - I don't find the appeal in Ludovic. I think it sucks some of the life out of Jasper which you just cannot afford! Overall the combo just strikes me as Trying Too Hard.Jasper Ludwig - Much better. Very fun, very handsome.Jasper Louis - As mentioned, my favorite of the bunch. They compliment each other really well. Adventurous Jasper with distinguished Louis.Would you consider two middle names, like Jasper Louis Nathaniel?
