Thoughts on Jasmine šŸŒø ...and which spelling?

Hey berries,

Still not set on a baby sister name for [name_f]Zara[/name_f] :melting_face: (due in October)

Iā€™ve recently found a love for the name [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], or one of the alternate spellings (nickname Jas/Jaz). It also has a very similar meaning to [name_f]Zara[/name_f] which is so sweet. I think my favourite spelling is [name_f]Jazmin[/name_f] as it has a Z the same as my daughter. But Iā€™d like opinions pleaseā€¦

  1. Thoughts on the name itself and if you think it sounds nice with [name_f]Zara[/name_f].

  2. Is it too much of a mouthful with our surname Green@n (pronounced like ā€˜Green-inā€™)? Iā€™m still unsure how I feel about having the same end sounding to both the first and last name.

  3. Which spelling would you choose? One of the above or something different?

Any middle name suggestions also appreciated! Preferably shorter and bonus points if one syllable without being too much of a ā€˜fillerā€™, I just like the flow better.

Thanks as always :heartpulse:

I think [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] goes well with [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and your last name. I agree with you on the short middle name. [name_f]Leigh[/name_f] or [name_m]Ray[/name_m]?

I really like [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], I think its an underrated floral name!

As for the spelling I prefer [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], as it feels slightly softer to me.

I dont think [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] Green*n has horrible flow.

I think [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] is such a gorgeous and underrated pick! She goes excellently with [name_f]Zara[/name_f], but I think I prefer the classic [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] spelling to limit confusion ā€“ the ā€œzā€ sound is there anyways, which will tie your girls together. With your surname, I donā€™t think itā€™s too much of a mouthful at all, especially with the short middle name to break things up.
Some middle name suggestions:
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_f]Scout[/name_f]

Thank you. Not keen on [name_f]Leigh[/name_f] but I like Raeā€¦ my husband doesnā€™t unfortunately :pensive:

Thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh a few lovely middle suggestions! Some I would never have thought of.

Thank you :smiling_face:

Yes thatā€™s a good point regarding the z. [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] is likely the default spelling for most!

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] middle suggestions - my favourite is [name_f]Opal[/name_f]! That is Octoberā€™s birthstone too.

Hm, my opinion on it really depends on the spelling! The Jasmine spelling feels sweet, floral and a little more timeless ā€“ Jasmine and all its alternate spellings peaked in popularity in the 90s and early 2000s, but since Jasmine is the original and has the lovely nature association I think it feels a little fresher! The other spellings, like Jazmin, personally feel a little bit tired to me (especially next to Zara, which has a cool and fresh sound, a more 2000s name wouldnā€™t be my choice)

It is a little bit rhymey with your last nameā€¦ But I think if itā€™s your absolute favourite name, itā€™s not so bad that you canā€™t use it! Iā€™d personally avoid it but thatā€™s me being nitpicky, realistically I donā€™t think it should be a dealbreaker!

Maybeā€¦

Yeah I agree, the more I see it and say it, the [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] spelling definitely looks more ā€˜completeā€™.

[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is Zaraā€™s middle name (love!), I also like [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_f]Lou[/name_f]. [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is sweet too but too many princess names I think!

I quite like Jasmine/Jazmin - sharp and distinctive but pretty too. I think it works with [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and I love nn [name_m]Jaz[/name_m]!

I think the hard G sound at the start of your surname helps to break up the matching endings enough that it works.

Iā€™d personally choose the [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] spelling I think, but then I prefer nn [name_m]Jaz[/name_m] and [name_f]Jazmin[/name_f] makes more sense with that - plus, I like that it matches the Z of Z@ra :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]. But I only like that spelling, none of the alternative ones.
I think that [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] do work well together.

Itā€™s not hard to say with your last name. I donā€™t love the same syllable count + same ending sound, but that doesnā€™t mean itā€™s a bad choice. Youā€™ll have to decide for yourself if this is a deal breaker or not.
