HelpRe: Which would you choose?
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
I would choose either Max or Zane. I like both of them and I think they go great with Jasper.
(I don't like any of the others, tbh. Taj is interesting though)
I personally would probably go with Max because it's "safer" than Zane. Zane sounds vaguely trendy, while Max is more like Jasper - fashionable but not creative. I like Zane just as much as I like Max, though... I like unusual names, I am just less inclined to use them for my own sons than I am for my own daughters.

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm the opposite. I like more unusual names for boys. Then again, I'm much more interested in boy names in general.

Jasper is not very common here in Australia. I mean it has cracked the Top 100 the last few years, but has always remained toward the end of that list. I certainly wouldn't classify it as "not creative", but that's what puts me off using Max, as that is super popular here and would seem to be a bit of a "go to" name. Naming can be a tough journey!

Hm, to me Jasper is a fairly traditional name, or at least traditionally styled compared to Zane. Regardless of whether or not it's frequent. That's all I meant by not creative ... it's not a criticism. =) In case you took it that way.
I didn't realize Max was as popular as that in Australia. I also was under the impression that Jasper is a lot more popular here in the US, than it actually is!
Well, if Max and Zane were off the list, I'd vote Taj.
