Jasmyn - poncy spelling or acceptable?

[lucybrad]

Hi
I like the name Tabitha Jasmine but prefer the spelling Tabitha Jasmyn. Am I crazy? Honest opinions please....

[Casmama]

Poncy, sorry

[MumToOneMogwai]

it's beautiful spelt properly...why tinker with it?

[PuggyMum]

I'm not a fan of tinkering with spellings.

But Jasmine is lovely.

[QOD]

I don't mind it, I love the name but Jasmine is always read as Jas mine in my head. I like it without the e so Jasmin or Jasmyn is fine by me.
Middle name anyway so do what you want.
Adore Tabitha btw

[ExcuseTypos]

Agree with everyone else.

Just leave the spelling as it is. Tabitha Jasmine is lovely.

[FingersCrossedLegsNot]

Oh how euneek Hun

[Wbdn28]

Leave the spelling as Jasmine.

[Bunbaker]

Sorry, but any future teacher will think that she has thick or dyslexic parents, or ones that are trying too hard to be different.

Like some of the others I am not a fan of tinkering with spellings either. Besides, you will constantly have to correct other people's spelling of the name.

[ThePieSmuggler]

Poncy in my opinion. Just looks naff spelt like that.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Don't mess with the spellings of names - what's the point?

[PreciousPuddleduck]

Jasmine is much nicer

[ExcuseTypos]

Bun I think that's rather harsh. I work n a school and the teachers I work with wouldn't be so judgemental.

[vix206]

I don't find it poncy but I don't like made up spellings and think Jasmine is a beautiful name as it is.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Not poncy - just a bit silly imho.

[Smartiepants79]

Silly spelling.

[lemontwist]

Awful, sorry. The name is fine but I really dislike mis-spelt names. Also poor child would be constantly correcting people.

[scottishmummy]

Why would you purposefully spell a name wrong
It's not quirky,it's not individual

[BOF]

It's not poncey, it's just wrong.

[ceramicunicorn]

Not poncy, chavvy. Lovely name when spelt correctly.

[Oldandcobwebby]

Please don't spell your daughter's name incorrectly. Please. Stop it. Stop it now.

[lucybrad]

and if we used Jayne - this would be the same thing then?

[BOF]

No, because Jayne is an acceptable spelling.

[scottishmummy]

What do you want honest opinion or argument with posters
Jayne is a minority but recognised spelling of Jane, expect still need to spell it
Jasmyn,it's a lifetime of no m-y-m.just cause you like different spellings

[ravenAK]

It's a recognised variant spelling, like Jayne, actually:

www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Jasmyn.

But it does seem a bit of a faff to give a middle name which everyone will assume they know how to spell, but will get wrong.

It might be worth the (OK, minor) inconvenience & judginess if you were going to call her Jasmyn as her 'main' name. For a middle name, which you will seldom actually use, it's just something that'll be mildly irritating when it needs spelling out for officialdom her entire life.

But not a big deal either way, & I'd ignore people telling you it's chavvy/naff if you already know you prefer it to the more usual spelling.
