Personally prefer the spelling Yasmin, to me it looks nicer? Always loved the combo of Yasmin Amira or Yasmin Julia

I like Yasmin (and I agree with Just Jonquil that Yasmine seems to be hedging its bets between Yasmin and Jasmine), particularly paired with a Hebrew, Yiddish, Persian, or Arabic name...

I would pronounce these differently

---

Yasmin as YAZ-min
Yasmine as yaz-MEEN or yas-MEEN-eh

---

As such, I prefer the top pronunciation and that one is one of my prefered names. I like it much more than Jasmin(e)

I prefer Yasmin. Yasmine seems to be hedging its bets between Yasmin and Jasmine. I know a Yasmin who's mother is an Aussie and whose father is Malaysian. I have seen it used by Jewish parents too so it's not just Arabic. To me it feels mainstream enough to use as an alternative to the very pretty but perhaps not quite as classy Jasmine. There's a television reporter in Australia called Yasmin, and I don't think she's from an Arabic-speaking background.
I'd pair it with something "western" and classic or semi-classic, like:
Yasmin Bernadette
Yasmin Felicity
Yasmin Georgina
Yasmin Helena
Yasmin Louisa
Yasmin Miranda
Yasmin Valerie
Yasmin Veronica

Really pretty name.i prefer it spelled Yasmine.Yasmin looks incomplete

I like it a lot. I used to babysit a super spunky sassy confident little Yasmin and she really made me love it.

I prefer the spelling Yasmin. The 'e' seems superfluous to me.

It's okay, but I far, far prefer Jasmine. Yaz is not a very attractive sound.

I knew a Yasmine that went by the nickname Yasi (the 's' sounds like 'z'). Never heard it before, but it fit her wonderfully. :D
I also like this spelling better. Yasmin looks incomplete to me.
