What do you think about Jasmine?

A latecomer to add to my final list of Florence and Iris....

I think it might be slightly less 'datable' or 'of the moment' as a name which is a good thing i think....

Although I hate the term 'chavvy' I have to agree that Jasmine does sound a little chavvy to my ears....

...Florence and Iris are much, much more elegant and classy imo.

Nice - but you must be OK with it being shortened to 'Jas/Jaz' as it will be.

PS Nicer than Florence or Iris which will also be dated to the current old-lady-name trend quite quickly.

Plus I hate that GooGooDolls song.

(OK, going now...)

I think Florence and Iris are timeless whereas Jasmine dates easily. Also, I get a chavvy vibe from it.

I've met two Jasmine's, and neither are Chavvi at all.

They are both mixed race (one is kenyon mum and english dad the other chinese mum and english dad), and because of the Jasmine's I've met, I have always considered it a beautiful exotic name.

Yes, Jasmine is a little less 'elegant' and 'classic' to my ears than Florence and Iris. Also dislike Jaz.

I like Florence

ZZZenAgain · 27/07/2010 15:21

but not Flo or Flossie
