It's a boy's name 🙂
Dinosauraddict · 22/11/2020 14:09
Yay-sen would be my automatic response, but I've never heard it before so may be way off...
berrygirlie · 22/11/2020 14:11
"Ya-sen" bit like Yasmine. How is the correct way to pronounce it?
Knittedfairies · 22/11/2020 14:11
Ya-sen.
CherieBabySpliffUp · 22/11/2020 14:12
Yas-in?
The a sound like a in bag.
bloodyhairy · 22/11/2020 14:13
Ya-zin
frustrationcentral · 22/11/2020 14:13
I think I'd say Yay seen, but I've never known one so don't really know!
RicStar · 22/11/2020 14:15
I think i would say yaz-en if i just saw it but could also think yah-sen and I wouldn't know which without hearing it.
GreyishDays · 22/11/2020 14:15
Yah s’n
LolaSmiles · 22/11/2020 14:16
Yass-en
It's not a name I've come across.
Coldhandscoldheart · 22/11/2020 14:17
First reaction would be like Jason with a Y
But happy to be corrected.

I have a son whose name is Yasin. We pronounce it as Ya-sin but some people do say Ya-seen
EasyLifer · 22/11/2020 14:18
Yay sun, rhymes with Jason?
Kittytheteapot · 22/11/2020 14:20
Yah zen
TotalBitch · 22/11/2020 14:21
Yah-Sen? Maybe yah-zen? That's without googling obviously!
berrygirlie · 22/11/2020 14:22
Supposedly; "Yasin (also spelled Yassin or Yaseni or Yassine or Yaseen or Jasin or Yacine; Arabic: ياسين, IPA: [ˈjɑːsiːn]) is a surname and unisex given name of Arabic origin. The name comes from a chapter (surah) of the Quran called Ya-Sin. It is an epithet of the prophet Muhammad."
FairNotFair · 22/11/2020 14:23
We know a Yassin - with a short "a"
berrygirlie · 22/11/2020 14:23
Supposedly pronounced Ya-seen
Whenwillow · 22/11/2020 14:26
Yah-zen, if I didn't know otherwise (short A)
InTheLongGrass · 22/11/2020 14:28
Yas-in
SilverOtter · 22/11/2020 14:31

MerlotChiantiMontepulicano · 22/11/2020 14:37

flowery · 22/11/2020 14:39
I’d hazard a guess at “yayz-n”

cautiouscovidity · 22/11/2020 14:56
