I remember that my friend had a guy named Jasmin in her class at school (his parents weren't German but I don't know where he was from). Jasmin is a very very popular girls name in Germany (the standard spelling is Jasmin) and it is pronounced yuhz-MEEN. The guy pronounced his as YUHZ-meen. He would always get angry when people said yuhz-MEEN. The idea of it on a boy might be nice but I guarantee you he will have problems in life. That Jasmin was teased to no end. Not nice but kids can be mean.
