Ivy Jasmine, Ivy is such a beautiful name.

Lycanthropology · 07/07/2018 03:55

Jasmine Ivy. Jasmine is an awesome name.

StrawberryCat · 07/07/2018 01:57

Both ways are beautiful. But Ivy is very popular at the moment which might bother you.

Ivy Jasmine

Ivy makes me think of dark green, which reminds me of the dark green paint they used to use in old Victorian schools.

So Jasmine

Jasmine Ivy

Jasmine is lovely, not keen on Ivy.

Jasmine is pretty - much nicer than Ivy. But the old fashioned version, Jessamine, is gorgeous.

Jasmine. I've only met 2 and they were both awesome.

JayeAshe · 06/07/2018 16:07

They are both creepers Grin agree with sarcastic .

SarcasticFringehead · 06/07/2018 16:00

Too planty.
Jasmine is nice. Ivy is not to my taste.

Shiftymake · 06/07/2018 15:54

Ivy, know no one with that name so Ivy Jasmine vote here. Do know some Jasmines though so think it depends on what area people are in.

Dontbuymesocks · 06/07/2018 15:51

Jasmine Ivy.

Floralnomad · 06/07/2018 15:49

Jasmine , I wouldn’t use Ivy at all .

fikel · 06/07/2018 15:49

Definitely prefer Jasmine, agree that maybe Ivy is a little too much of the same theme

MariaMadita · 06/07/2018 15:46

I personally prefer Jasmine so I'd go with Jasmine Ivy.
But I agree with the pps, put the name you like most first :)

It is however a very botanical combination... A non-botanical middle name (or second middle name) could be nice.

SumAndSubstance · 06/07/2018 15:35

I also think it's a bit botanical: the good plant and the bad plant.
Definitely though, the name you should put first is the one you like most, rather than the one that sounds better first. I prefer the name Jasmine to Ivy so I would go that way round.

daisypond · 06/07/2018 13:43

I much prefer Jasmine to Ivy (not keen on Ivy at all), so Jasmine Ivy - but maybe two flower names are a bit much?

MikeUniformMike · 06/07/2018 13:37

Prefer Jasmine not keen on Ivy.
Both climbing plants. You could be describing my patio. Is your surname Vine?

OwlBeThere · 06/07/2018 13:25

Ivy jasmine, I prefer the name Ivy (though i like both) and I think it flows better that way.

user1498549192 · 06/07/2018 10:47

Jasmine Ivy

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/07/2018 10:45

Jasmine Ivy.

Discotits · 06/07/2018 07:55

Missed the e off Jasmine there, sorry.

fieryginger · 06/07/2018 07:55

Ivy first.

Discotits · 06/07/2018 07:55

Jasmin Ivy as I know a fair few Ivys. Both nice though.
