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

I'm a fan

Beautiful!

I really like Jasmine, I think it's a lovely name. I definitely don't think it sounds Disney, frilly or cheap. The first thing that came to my mind was the flower Jasmine and flower names are classics.

I don't like it at all

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 have always loved it

evemillbank · 16/02/2023 13:17

I'm not a fan but only because I know a couple who aren't nice people!

Pemba · 16/02/2023 13:02

It's a very pretty name. Not tacky, no.

Have you considered the older English version, Jessamine (or Jessamyn)? Even prettier IMO and then you have the option of the short form 'Jess', which is nicer than Jazz I think.

Hmmm, I'm not that keen. Funny thing is I love the flower - it's beautiful and one of my favourite scents. But I do tend to associate the name with frilly princess vibes!

That said, I have a very low tolerance for frilliness. And I'm sure once I met a Jasmine irl I wouldn't think that.

Lovely

Guavafish1 · 16/02/2023 12:56

Beautiful desert flower

It's beautiful - has lovely connotations. I know one who goes by Jaz and has an older sister called Olivia. Minnie as a nickname is cute on a baby as well.

My friend's 19yo daughter is called Jasmine. It is a lovely name. It is often shortened to Jas but equally lovely.

KirstenBlest · 16/02/2023 12:48

I like it.

MrsBunnyEars · 16/02/2023 12:37

Love it. Marginally prefer Yasmine tho.

YesitsBess · 16/02/2023 12:37

It's my daughter's middle name. She's nearly 23 and no complaints as yet. 😊

Lovely name.

Nimbostratus100 · 16/02/2023 12:36

beautiful

Mysmallgarden · 16/02/2023 12:35

Beautiful name.
