Would Yasmina work well as a baby name where I live?

I'm not the biggest Yasmin-name fan unfortunately, reminds me of the contraceptive but my parents said they used to know a lovely lady with this name (Yasmina) (i think she was from Lebanon?) back in london and the name has really begun to grow on me! i pronounce it Yahs-mee-nah or YAZ-mee-nah

i dont think it would be so weird if i used it here (where i live), the name Yasmine is pretty common, so why not Yasmina?

thoughts?????

I much prefer Yasmin, probably because im white and its more western.

Are you the one who’s looking for for names for book characters?

Also Yaz in an adorable nick name and very very london.

I’d pronounce it yas-Meen-ah. I like it and considered it for DD2.

I really like it. I’d be suprised to hear it if a baby didn’t have a relevant family background, but it wouldn’t be a problem.

Not common round my way.

Didn't you ask about this name in your last name round-up some months back?

I prefer Yasmine but I’m not a huge fan of either

Yasmin is a horrible name. Please don't name your baby that. (From someone actually named it.)

It wouldn't be a good baby name for a boy. Unless the baby was a fictional one.

Jasmin for a girl is nice

I think both Yasmin and Yasmina are pretty names.

Yasmina is pretty. I prefer Jasmin

Do you like Annina, Jamima, Natasha, Minerva, Java or Geraldine?
