Help[Opinions] Re: Jasmine
in reply to a message by Gaia
I prefer Yasmin (yahs-MEEN), though Jasmine is nice too!
If I had a kid named Yasmin, I'd use nicknames Yaska, Yasya, Mina, Yasa, Yasha (diminutive of Yakov, but it works with Yasmin also), Yanusya, etc.
For Jasmine, I don't know. The j sound (dzh) doesn't really go with stuff well in my langauge. Mina would still work, and maybe Jasa (or Jaza, Jazka, because the s in the name is pronounced like z). My brain also likes Janya for some reason.
