Wow I really love them both. I would probably choose Arthur as it's a family name for me, but that doesn't help you of course!

I love Arthur, although it sounds better in some accents than in others.

I've never liked Jasper, and I think it has an unattractive sound.

Clearly I am going to say Jasper! But I'll say if you can't make up your mind about them, then go with Arthur "Art", it makes sense.

I like both, but right now I like Jasper more.

You are mean.
Like really mean.
It's not fair to make me choose between Jasper and Arthur! Gaaah, so hard. But okay, if I had to, I would probably go with Arthur right now. Sometimes I get a little bored with Jasper, but it hasn't happened with Arthur yet.

Jasper.
I like Jasper because of the gemstone, the clear sound, and the noble feeling of the name. I like Arthur because of King Arthur and that's about it. I don't like the nasal sound. The name has noble associations, but the sound of the name is anything but noble (it's more nasal and nerdy). Jasper has a noble sound, and it's smooth and hard and shiny just like the gemstone picture.

A while back I would have said Jasper, although I do prefer Casper/Kasper. Now that I have a friend who named a son Arthur, I find it really cute and not stuffy at all. Definitely a name a boy would grow into and be proud to carry through life.

I find Jasper the stuffier name now. I also I tend to think of Jasper as being very British for some reason.

Jasper time fifteen thousand.

Arthur is so stuffy and boring. It reminds me of anteaters.

Think I'd go Arthur

cos I like Jasper on a girl with reference to the gemstone B x

Arthur 100%
It's on my own list, and although not near the top, I do love it. Jasper has never appealed to me, I would go so far as to say that I hate it, but I have little in the way of justification. :)

Arthur. I have no idea why.
