Jasmine - is this too boring/dated?

[Fruityxx99]

Hi, my daughter is 3 weeks old. Do you think Jasmine is too safe/boring or too dated?

Me and my husband have uncommon names.
my sons name is heard of but definitely not popular.
My eldest daughter’s names is uncommon, 3 syllable name which is often a bit of a marmite name but is a conversation starter and still my favourite name of all time!

I wanted a similar style name for my baby daughter but couldn’t commit to one. (I love 3 syllables ending in a sound).

I absolutely love the name Eliza and this was the top contender throughout the pregnancy. But I’m worried it’s having a bit of a popularity rise at the moment (I seem to be hearing it everywhere). And as previously mentioned the rest of the family have uncommon names. Plus my hubby struggled to remember this name!

Baby was also called Yasmin for about 10hours but then I changed my mind to Jasmine.

I’m also concerned about what suits our ethnicity, she’s mixed (mostly black British) and was worried Eliza and Yasmin didn’t suit her.

So my question is, do I stick with Jasmine or do you prefer Yasmin or Eliza?

Thanks

Lovely name

Jasmine is lovely. I've worked in early years for nearly a decade (in different areas - inner city and also country) and I've only known 2-3 in the whole time.

Same with Eliza tbh, but I prefer Jasmine.

It will 100% get shortened to Jas by friends when she's older. I think Jas is cute though.

I know a Jasmine.. shortened to Jazzy.

I think Jasmine is beautiful.

i have a friend called Cameo, I would have called my child this if they were not both boys

It’s a beautiful old English name. It’s a beautiful flower. Always reminds me of Jasmine Guinness. Im surprised it’s not mlre
popular with the Ottilie / Olivia / Serena / Camilla brigade

Jasmine is lovely and much nicer than Yasmin .

Love Jasmine! Pretty, classy and jazzy!

But then I do have one of my own, so I’m biased. Mine is 16 now and I’ve not come across another in any of her schools. She does have a friend called Yasmine, though!

Love Jasmine!

I really love Jasmine, the only Jasmine I know is in her 30s and I have 3 young kids so come across lots of names, so not popular at all in my area.

I do know 5 Eliza's all under 8 however.

Not so keen on Yasmin, I just think Jasmine is alot prettier sounding. Tasmin could be another option for you? More unusual but similar sound

I think Jasmine is quite charming actually. I have a 20 year old cousin named Jasmine. It’s just the nicest smelling flower ever! And kind of exotic. But sweet. A good fiesty Disney princess. And has the possibility of ‘cool’ nicknames as a teen, e.g. Jazz.

Jasmine and Eliza are both lovely. But yes, Eliza is quite popular at the moment. I’ve heard the name quite a bit in the groups and playground with my 3yo.
Much prefer Jasmine to Yasmin.

It’s a beautiful name. I’ve always like it.

I'm very biased but love it. I don't spell it with an 'e' though. My friends and family call me Jaz

Jasmine is a nice name - how does it stand up with your elder daughter's name? I know a few Jamines but they're all late teens/early 20s. How would you feel about it being shortened to Jazz?

Personally I prefer Eliza - it feels like an Eliza would be strong and possibly a tiny bit feisty. Which is a good thing in my book!

I think it's quite difficult to avoid giving your children totally unusual names - they seep into our subconscious along with everyone else's! My dc all have what I thought were less commonly used names and 2 of them ended up being top 20/top 5 a couple of years later 🙄
