What do you think? I love it, but worry it sounds a bit disney / frilly / cheap?

❤ I think the name Jasmine is adorable!

Honestly I do not think this name sounds frilly / cheap / or over the top Disney.

It's a super sweet name for a little girl I think.

i love it.

DramaAlpaca · 17/02/2023 00:13

Gorgeous name

SummerWinds · 16/02/2023 21:49

I really like it, along with Jasmina and Yasmeenah.

FairytaleofNewHampshire · 16/02/2023 21:45

I really like it. I know one who's eight. I also know one who is mid thirties but she spells it without the E on the end

Judgyjudgy · 16/02/2023 21:37

Very pretty

Mumskisail · 16/02/2023 21:36

Beautiful name

WhisperingAutistic · 16/02/2023 21:35

A really pretty sounding name. I like it a lot.

pilates · 16/02/2023 21:35

I like it

Fordian · 16/02/2023 21:33

Nope, a bit tacky. Which is mad, seeing as Rose is a 'classy' name!

Starryskiesinthesky · 16/02/2023 21:13

Lovely name. Not too frilly / tacky at all.

YouveGotRedOnYou1 · 16/02/2023 21:11

Nice name. Don't think it sounds frilly at all. It makes me think of an intelligent, confident woman. But I suppose everyone links names to their own experience of them.

Bingoflings · 16/02/2023 21:04

It's lovely but it's also been used as a scent on too many clothes washing detergents.
I prefer Yasmine.

Purplecatshopaholic · 16/02/2023 21:00

It’s a beautiful name, so pretty.

The first Jasmine I ever knew was born in the 1930s. I don't get the Disney association. It's just a normal name. It's not as if you want to call her Cinderella.
As for the snobbery about 16-year-old school leavers, ugh.
I think it's a lovely name.

You're right, my snobbery doesn't reflect well on me. But that's honestly my gut instinct on Jasmine. And Jade, too, FWIW.

You want honesty? Yes, I do find Jasmine tacky and Disney like.

Icecreamandapplepie · 16/02/2023 17:56

Beautiful.

Howtohideasausage · 16/02/2023 13:21

You said honest. I think it’s quite tacky as it puts me in mind of air freshener and strippers, which is a shame as I like the plant.
I also knew one at school and she got called jizz-mine.
I see I’m in the minority though.

I'm with you. I think it's a "cheap" sounding name - left school at 16, still living and working in the dumpy town she was born in.

RuthW · 16/02/2023 17:42

It's ok. Bit 90s but a perfectly reasonable name.

losingit31 · 16/02/2023 17:29

I've known several - would now be in 20s. Also Muslim girls names Yasmine and Yasmina.

Floralnomad · 16/02/2023 17:22

Love it , was my mums name and she was born in 1940 so definitely not Disney .

plumduck · 16/02/2023 17:14

Love it. We need more

CornedBeef451 · 16/02/2023 17:01

I have a teenage Jasmine so obviously I like it!

WinterFoxes · 16/02/2023 16:21

It's very pretty. Not sure if it had a surge of popularity 20 years ago but three girls in DS's friendship group are called Jasmine!
