Jasmine or Seren?

My first daughter’s name is Saffron and daughter number 2 is on her way, so we would like a name that works well with it.

We’ve narrowed it down to two names; Jasmine or Seren, but interested to know what your preference would be?

Thanks in advance!

@scrivette , SERR-enn.

@AshleaE , Jasmine is lovely, not keen on Seren

I think that's what I was badly trying to spell!

SERR-enn is lovely.

@scrivette , The Ser bit rhymes with the Fer bit in Ferry, the -en bit sound like the en in Penny, but the stress is on the last-but-one syllable, like in Jasmine, Saffron

I'd say Sir-Wren as SurrENN, Seren as SERR-enn

(Sir-Wren welshified would need to be something like Syrrén, which doesn't look like a Welsh word)

I love Seren but don’t think it goes that well with Saffron so would probably opt for Jasmine, which is also pretty.

we have friends with a Seren but if we didn’t it would be on my list!

Jasmine before you added Saffron, and definitely Jasmine to a sister called Saffron. Lovely sibset.

Jasmine

Saffron and Seren is daft.

Saffron and Jasmine is a lovely sibling combo, great botanical names!

Seren

I absolutely love Seren but Seren and Saffron are far too matchy for siblings, so Jasmine. I’m also very fond of Yasmine.
