[Opinions] Re: Jasmine
in reply to a message by guasguendi
I'm not a fan. It's really, really common where I am, and it feels a bit basic, a bit like Lily. I also don't like the sound very much and I'm ambivalent to jasmine flowers (I don't get the appeal, do they smell good to other people? I don't think jasmine smells good but it's always in perfume). I prefer it to Jasmin, Yasmin and Yasmine though.
It would actually be very cute on a pampered house-cat, the kind with silky smoky-blue fur and slumberous eyes. I've never heard it used on a pet where I am in the UK, but that might be because it's such a common person name here.
I'd make a sibset of Jasmine, Lily and Rose. They have the same vibe, and actually Rose might be the outlier because it's less common and more old-fashioned as a fn. With a boy, definitely something like Jasmine, Lily and James, Jasmine, Lily and Alex or something. It's not awful but I don't love it and it's overused and very popular here, so it kinda fits with other 'so common they're background' names.
