Help[Facts] Re: Jasmin as a male name in the Balkans
in reply to a message by Sofia
Thank you!
My student wants to be called Jasko. This may be a normal pet form in Bosnia, but I'm sure he finds it even more important to go by Jasko while he's in the USA. I actually discovered that the registrar at my university had him listed as female; evidently someone in the registrar's office couldn't believe that there really would be a man named Jasmin when they were entering his records into the computer and so wrongly "corrected" his sex to female. :)

My name is Jasmin and yea.. I'm a guy also. I know what it is to grow up with it.. constantly having to explain it. You get used to it.
I never really preferred using Jasko even though I have been called Jasko by some. I'm fine with my name, it's reasonably unique, despite the popularity among the Bosnian people.
You know what I found out as I matured? Chicks dig the name :)
Well most do :) or wel... perhaps they're just lying to me, because I'm so attractive lol. In any case I have submitted, what almost seems like an essay, about my name. Wonder what Mike will do with it. And hey! Yea I'm new :) See ya
