How would you spell this name?

We would like it to be pronounced yas-MEEN:

Yasmin
Yasmeen
Yasmine

other?

We are thinking Kiera Yasmine. We also like Holly Yasmine, but might be too botanical. Ruby Yasmine and Lyra Yasmine. I also like Poppy Yasmine, but there is the botanical thing again.

Is it weird to use it as a middle name with my name being Jasmine? I like that there is a connection, but it's not exactly the same.

If its a middle name noone will ever say it out loud but she will see it written down more on ID etc - so id go with Yasmine as it looks nicer and if its really important to you then correct someone that mispronounces it - but for a middle name i dont see why it matters at all, noone has said my sons middle name aloud since his baptism 16 years ago - most of my family have probably forgotten what it is!

This!

As it's a middle name I'd give the baby your name and spelling. Otherwise it's a bit odd. It's your name but isn't 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yasmeen although it doesn’t look as pretty as the name actually is. So maybe Yasmene.

It’s a middle name so it doesn’t matter. It will be said out loud on very few occasions.

Yasmeen because he other two I would say Yas-min.

Yasmeen to have it pronounced as you want but it’s not the prettiest spelling imo. But if it’s a middle name does it even matter - no one’s really going to be using it so you could just use your favourite spelling

Yasmeen if thats how you want it pronounced

Yasmeen. The other two are up for interpretation.
