Jasmine vs Talia

Potential sibling name for Noah (hopefully finding out where it’s a boy or girl on Tuesday).

Talia has always been the front runner, but Jasmine is growing on me & I know DH likes it.

Which is better?

Not Jasmine.

AliceAforethought · 09/03/2019 21:36

Jasmine is lovely. Not keen on Talia.

FiddleFaddleDingDong · 09/03/2019 21:44

I like Jasmine (love the plant and its scent)

Is Talia pronounce tally-a or tuh-lee-ah?

FiddleFaddleDingDong · 09/03/2019 21:48

So it seems it's tahl-ya

i like that too to be honest. Both nice names.

Does Jasmine work with Noah? We have a very Jewish-sounding surname which is why we had originally thought to stick to Hebrew names

Both nice.

Moominfan · 09/03/2019 21:57

Both such lovely names but I'm leaning towards Thalia

TrainSong · 09/03/2019 22:13

I love Jasmine. Not keen on Talia.

FiddleFaddleDingDong · 09/03/2019 22:15

Jasmine does work with Noah, yes.

RuthW · 09/03/2019 23:15

I prefer Talia but world say Tarh-lee-uh

arkela · 09/03/2019 23:18

I really don't like the name Jasmine - it brings to mind a single parent family living in poverty. I'm not sure why! Talia is a beautiful name.

arkela · 09/03/2019 23:19

Sorry if I've offended any Jasmines reading this.

SingaSong12 · 09/03/2019 23:25

I like Jasmine. I haven’t heard of Talia before.

Saffrona · 10/03/2019 02:02

Talia.

Saffrona · 10/03/2019 02:07

Also talia is a lot more Jewish sounding than jasmine.

LarkDescending · 10/03/2019 05:07

Talia is a much more natural fit with Noah I think (and a lovely name).

Could you use Jasmine as a middle name perhaps?

PodgeBod · 10/03/2019 05:16

I prefer Jasmine

HighestMountains · 10/03/2019 05:57

I've never liked Talia, makes me think of talons. Its an ugly name imho.

Jasmine is much better, can have nn Jazz too which is cool.

I'm not sure either go with Noah but maybe that's ok.

Peachbubble · 10/03/2019 06:05

Jasmine
