Lovely, I really like it :)

Dreya · 03/05/2011 23:37

Beautiful.

It's terribly common just about everywhere now, it's an okay name, but unfortunately for me it screams 'chav'! Plus you get those awful nn's Jaz and Jazzie!!!

LoopyLoopsBettyBoops · 04/05/2011 21:00

I love it and was on my list, but too many names to choose from!

usualsuspect · 04/05/2011 21:01

I like it

every bloody name on MN gets called chavvy just lately

littlemd · 04/05/2011 21:25

Beautiful. I love it. It's very pretty x

Emelene · 04/05/2011 22:59

Not a fan personally, I think I just haven't known any nice Jasmines. :S

I think Yasmin / Yasmine is softer sounding and also less commonly used. :)

Thanks all. I like it a lot, and for a change DH likes it too. I had wondered about the 'chav' thing (whatever it may be!), but surely if Jasmine is not a chav, people wouldn't think of it in that way?? To me it's very pretty, and I only know one, who is from a lovely family... What do you think of Thea as a middle name?

Yasmin is a contraceptive pill though.

pinkwineandsensations · 04/05/2011 23:50

I don't really like Yasmin...

I think Jasmine is beautiful, its not 'chavvy' maybe if its spelt something like Jazzmyn but not Jasmine

pinkwineandsensations · 05/05/2011 15:01

Thanks Firawla, I agree :)

I dislike it. I don't find it elegant. Particularly dislike Jas/Jaz/Jazzie.

80sMum · 22/05/2011 13:01

I like it. Pretty and feminine.

tummytickler · 22/05/2011 13:19

I'm not keen. Beautiful flower, but not nice as a name. There are much prettier flower names out there. (Dahlia, Primrose, Iris, to name a few)

tummytickler · 22/05/2011 13:19

But I don't think its 'chavvy' I know a few, and they are all from very well to do families.

qumquat · 22/05/2011 13:35

I love it. There's no need to shorten it, I teach a couple of Jasmine's and all their friends call them by their full name.

d0gFace · 22/05/2011 14:08

Its very chavvy round here, but its a nice enough name. If you like it go for it.

Icelollycraving · 22/05/2011 14:34

I love it! It's my niece's name,not chavvy at all,how rude!

bidibidi · 22/05/2011 15:48

Very very popular around here. Doesn't do anything for me, though I think Jazz is a nice NN. I like a lot of other names better (and worse).
