Jasmine

Jasmine! Love it 😊
Ruby is nice enough too but I'm not a fan of Fleur! Agree with pp that it just sounds like bleurghh...plus Fleur Delacour was called 'Phlegm' by Ginny so reminds me of that too

Jasmine is a lovely name and I also like Jaz as a nn. Not a fan of Ruby but I’m not sure why. Agree with some previous comments that Fleur looks prettier than it sounds.

They're all nice. Which one goes best with the surname?

Onemorebaby · 11/02/2024 09:58

Interesting, quite a divide in everyone's opinions and I've taken them on board.
In dc school I don't know anyone with these names and I also work with children and have so far only come across Yasmins. The only Ruby's and Jasmine's that I've ever come across are older so maybe a bit less popular now? Not met a Fleur yet.
Our last name can sound like a stage name with some first names especially if they end in a vowel, y or r so Ruby and Fleur have a good ring to them with our last name. Jasmine still sounds OK.

I'm not sure about Fleur, just the sound of it, although it's not awful.

I like Ruby quite a lot, and Jasmine is pretty. Although I really love Jessamine/Jessamyn, which is the older version and more unusual. And with that you get the shortening 'Jess' rather than 'Jazz' which I think is nicer. Yasmin is nice too.

Jasmine. Fleur sounds like a feminine hygiene product.

Fleur and Ruby are great. Nothing wrong with Jasmine but not as keen.

Watchthedoormat · 11/02/2024 21:02

Love Jasmine.
Ruby is very popular and kind of takes something away from it as it is still a lovely name. Loads aged 13-18 around here.
Fleur is bleugh to me- sorry.

There’s loads of rubys of secondary age, and a fair few younger but I wouldn’t let that put you off. I agree fleur looks over than it sounds with English accents. Jasmine is again more popular with older teens and early 20s but less so
than Ruby. I prefer it out of the 3 and like the nickname Jas. you could also have Min/ Minnie

Fleur is the sound DS makes when he's puking

CharlieBoo · 11/02/2024 21:57

I think Ruby is lovely. Only know a couple of teen Ruby’s. Also like Jasmine and like the nickname Jaz.. Fleur, agree it looks pretty written down, it’s the sound that’s not appealing.

Jasmine

Love Jasmine. Beautiful name
