Just wondered if I could have some opinions on this name please. What sort of image does it conjure up for you? Isit popular?

I like it. It's pretty, not too girly.

It is ok - like the nn Jazz from it. It is very popular though - dd goes to school with 3 (she is 8) ds with 2 (different school he is 6), and i know a couple more from baby/toddler groups.
The flower is lovely, but i just think it is one of the more boring flower names, prefer Rose even to Jasmine.

I like it. It is super-popular here though.

kslatts · 21/04/2009 10:55

I like it, I work with a Jasmine and she is known as Jazz.

My cousin called her baby girl Jasmine - she's now 2. I wasn't sure at first, but it's grown on me....a bit!

blametheparents · 21/04/2009 13:35

I like it. There is just 1 (I think) at DS's school.

jellybeans · 21/04/2009 13:42

Nice name, pretty, feminine.

HarryB · 21/04/2009 14:10

Jasmine is nice but very popular. I like Yasmin too, which is also popular.

suwoo · 21/04/2009 14:18

I read/heard somewhere (probably on here!) that it was chavvy, although I am not of that opinion myself. None that I know of in DD's whole school although 2 in her class with it as a middle name.

Tortoise · 21/04/2009 14:21

My DD2 is Yazmin. I like both names.
I don't know any Jasmine's or Yazmin's around here.

LizzyIzzyLou · 21/04/2009 14:21

I really liked it until I posted on MN about it and it was called chavvy and I was also told about the bratz doll called Jasmine which put me off as well.

We're going for Rosa now

suwoo · 21/04/2009 14:59

It might have been your post I was thinking of Lizzy. I don't think its chavvy.

Tortoise · 21/04/2009 17:59

The Bratz doll is Yasmine not Jasmine.

basementbear · 21/04/2009 18:01

I like Jasmine and Yazmin, don't think they are chavvy but both are vpopular

MintyyAeroEgg · 21/04/2009 18:04

Like Jasmine very much. It makes me think of the flower (which has a lovely scent and is small white flowers on a very pretty climbing plant).

BunnyLebowski · 21/04/2009 18:04

I like it too. It's pretty and girly. Don't know any round these parts.

LizzyIzzyLou · 21/04/2009 18:05

It was a MNer who told me that Tortise

FlyMeToDunoon · 21/04/2009 18:14

I like it but there is Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladin

lljkk · 21/04/2009 18:22

The 2nd most popular name around here.
Doesn't do anything for me, but nothing wrong with it, either.

LizzyIzzyLou · 21/04/2009 18:24

Whats the most popualr name lljkk?

pinkmagic1 · 21/04/2009 18:31

My DD is Yasmin, would hate to think people think its chavvy. I love Jasmine too, its popular here, but not too popular to make it too popular, if you know what I mean!

LaDiDaDi · 21/04/2009 19:06

I like it, don't like Jazz as a nn though.

Tortoise · 21/04/2009 21:12

My DD's NN is Mini. My friend calls her Yazz and i don't like that!

ohdearwhatamess · 21/04/2009 21:25

Lovely name.

Don't know any children with this name. A good friend of mine has this name, but she is known as Jas by everyone (and that suits her much more than Jasmine would).

Shila82 · 29/04/2009 13:19

Really nice name, I love it!

It is a persian langauge originated name for girls as i found here at persian baby names
