Re: Yasmin / Yasmine
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
