Jasmyn - poncy spelling or acceptable?

[lucybrad]

Hi
I like the name Tabitha Jasmine but prefer the spelling Tabitha Jasmyn. Am I crazy? Honest opinions please....

Poncy, sorry

it's beautiful spelt properly...why tinker with it?

I'm not a fan of tinkering with spellings.

But Jasmine is lovely.

I don't mind it, I love the name but Jasmine is always read as Jas mine in my head. I like it without the e so Jasmin or Jasmyn is fine by me.
Middle name anyway so do what you want.
Adore Tabitha btw

Agree with everyone else.

Just leave the spelling as it is. Tabitha Jasmine is lovely.

Oh how euneek Hun

Leave the spelling as Jasmine.

Sorry, but any future teacher will think that she has thick or dyslexic parents, or ones that are trying too hard to be different.

Like some of the others I am not a fan of tinkering with spellings either. Besides, you will constantly have to correct other people's spelling of the name.

Poncy in my opinion. Just looks naff spelt like that.

Don't mess with the spellings of names - what's the point?

Jasmine is much nicer

Bun I think that's rather harsh. I work n a school and the teachers I work with wouldn't be so judgemental.

I don't find it poncy but I don't like made up spellings and think Jasmine is a beautiful name as it is.

Not poncy - just a bit silly imho.

Silly spelling.

Awful, sorry. The name is fine but I really dislike mis-spelt names. Also poor child would be constantly correcting people.

Why would you purposefully spell a name wrong
It's not quirky,it's not individual

It's not poncey, it's just wrong.

Not poncy, chavvy. Lovely name when spelt correctly.

Please don't spell your daughter's name incorrectly. Please. Stop it. Stop it now.

and if we used Jayne - this would be the same thing then?

No, because Jayne is an acceptable spelling.

What do you want honest opinion or argument with posters
Jayne is a minority but recognised spelling of Jane, expect still need to spell it
Jasmyn,it's a lifetime of no m-y-m.just cause you like different spellings

It's a recognised variant spelling, like Jayne, actually:

www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Jasmyn.

But it does seem a bit of a faff to give a middle name which everyone will assume they know how to spell, but will get wrong.

It might be worth the (OK, minor) inconvenience & judginess if you were going to call her Jasmyn as her 'main' name. For a middle name, which you will seldom actually use, it's just something that'll be mildly irritating when it needs spelling out for officialdom her entire life.

But not a big deal either way, & I'd ignore people telling you it's chavvy/naff if you already know you prefer it to the more usual spelling.
