Jasmine - thoughts please!

[smother]

please could you give me your views on the name Jasmine. I'm considering it for DD but not yet sure. Thanks!

I think it's ghastly.

DD2's name

Nicknames are endless, and we have lots of fun. She loves it if I come up with a new nickname for her.

Hi, I am 29 weeks pregnant and we decided not to find out the babys sex until birth... Jasmine is on the shortlist for a girl... we think its a lovely name :-)

I don't like Jasmine or Jas/Jaz.

What men are lot going with that have jasmin smelling sperm. What on earth are they eating?

BTW like the name.

Brideshead, is that the plant.... often when I'm walking along outside I think, good gracious, that smell, oh my giddy aunt!

Is that really Jasmine. ??

I like the name though.

I named my daughter Jasmine after reading Wild Swans during my pregnancy. The author talks a lot about missing the scent of wild Jasmine in her Grandmother's courtyard. She doesn't mention sperm.

DD is now 11 and loves her name. She gets called Jazzy a lot. My mum hated the name, and said she could never be a doctor or a barrister with a name like that. So I gave her a conventional middle name, to give her the option to swap if she wanted to. But in fact, she is quite studious and the name still suits her. I don't think it will be a problem.

That book was amazing. I read it about 20 years ago and I still think about her from time to time. What a great book to have taken a name from!

Yep it's Jasmine the plant that smells like that.

I first noticed when staying in an apertment in Rome and it was growing every where I could barely breath it made me want to vomit.

Pretty plant, but my God the smell...

Jasmine is a beautiful name, but personally I don't like "minnie" or "jaz/jas" which are the two inevitable nn's for girls called Jasmine. If you like both of those then you have nothing to worry about though.
