I prefer Jasper as a middle name because, like Beatrix, it's become de rigueur for name enthusiasts to love it.

In one of my former lives as a children's librarian, I encountered a book, set in England, with a schoolboy character named Jasper, and the explanation was something like "There was always someone in the family called Jasper after a long-ago relative. It was nobody's fault." !! And that book must have dated from the 1970s.
