Jasmine is pronounced Hasmin in Spanish. This is also a related name.

I love this name because the sound is so pretty. In Asian countries, we make a flower of jasmine into tea, which has such a good flavour.

The jasmine is the state flower of South Carolina.

Some good nicknames for Jasmine are Jazzy, Jaz(z) and Min.

It's overused. (Hint - never say the name Jasmine in a store)

-- classy  1/11/2006

Not a personal pick, but definitely very pretty!

-- lindamaree  3/8/2006

It is also Arabic name and means the same thing.

I love the name Jasmine, it makes me think of sweetness, because of the taste of jasmine tea, and also because I knew a girl called Jasmine and she was so tender-hearted and good-natured.

I love the name Jasmine. Not too overly popular and the nicknames for it are really cute.

My oldest daughter is named Jasmine. When we named her, we wouldn't even consider spelling it different. A friend was giving us different variations of spelling it, but we went with the classic spelling. We call her Jaz or Jazzy.

-- Guadalupe78  7/17/2006

I love this name, it's very sensous and reminds me of the flower jasmine, which is gorgeous and smells lovely. But I hate when people deaden it by shortening it to 'Min' or 'Minnie'. If this is your name, you are very lucky - appreciate it!

I really love the way this sounds. It's a shame so many people find it "trashy".

-- claraelizabethann  8/28/2006

I think it's over used, and really a bad TRASHY name.

-- Anonymous User  11/24/2006

Do not pay attention to the previous comment above this one. (I didn't write that! Someone else did) It is not really overused and it isn't trashy.

-- Taydbug112  12/7/2006

My cousin's name is Jazmine and I love her very much so I like this name although I would never use it.

-- Anonymous User  12/8/2006

It is a pretty name but much too overused and common now. Every other little girl is a Jasmine these days.

-- Anonymous User  12/20/2006

It is actually a form of the Persian/Middle Eastern name Yasmin (like it says), I love this name it's very pretty. I know this girl named Jasmine she spells it Jasmin though.

-- Anonymous User  1/26/2007

In Hebrew it is pronounced Yas-min.

-- Ruti  1/27/2007

I'm fond of Jasmine, nickname Minnie. :)

-- Wordsmith  2/21/2007

It's beautiful, but too many snobby girls ruined the name for me.

-- 7up  3/21/2007

Jasmine is a beautiful name. It is not Trashy at all. Why would it be? I know of some really trashy names and trust me, Jasmine is not on the list. Anyways, Jasmine is a beautiful name. It is a plant with fragrant flowers. Lovely smell and lovely tea :) Also, makes me think of a princess.

-- Anonymous User  3/26/2007

The Jasmine plant has been used since Ancient times. It has been used for perfume, oils and tea among other wonderful things. Jasmine is a beautiful name because it represents beauty and sweetness. Jasmine has been used through the ages. I would definitely want my daughter to be named after something of beauty such as Jasmine.

-- Anonymous User  3/26/2007

Though apparently this name is extremely popular, I've never met someone named Jasmine before. I think it's a beautiful name, and I like it's definition.

-- Anonymous User  3/26/2007

Jazz is a nice nickname for a nice name.

-- Luangi  4/8/2007

I really like the name Jasmine, it's so pretty!

-- RachelLouise  6/19/2007

Oh my god. This name is amazing. It is strong and beautiful, mysterious and magnificent. I love it. If you want to name any of your kids Jasmine good for you. It's a fantasic name. I mean it's daring and strong - yet beutiful and femmine at the same time. Perfect for any strong-willed, lovely girl. I LOVE THIS NAME.

-- bookdiva  6/21/2007

I think any name can be trashy if the person who owns it makes it trashy. Jasmine is a lovely name which grows well into adulthood. I know a little girl named Jasmine Beatrice and everyone calls her Jazzy B.

This seems to be the name of every whorish girl at school. It's a shame, really, because this isn't such a bad name.

-- arrowhead909  7/14/2007

I would bet money that 97% of children who have this name have parents who live in trailer parks and who came up with it after watching the Disney movie. Dumb name.

-- johann14  9/25/2007

Slovene form is Jasmina. Lovely name!

-- only.me  12/14/2007

I think a set of twins named Jasmine (f) and Jackson (m) would be fun: Jazz and Jax!

-- leananshae  12/25/2007

Very pretty name.

-- blkbuttafly  1/3/2008

These people don't know what they're talking about. My name is Jasmine and I am not snobbish, neither am I trashy, nor do I live in a trailer park. Your name does not define who you are.

-- jasmineenimsaj  2/5/2008

I love this name, it sounds feminine but not girly and it reminds me of flowers and nature, which is a good association to me. The first time I heard this name was not when I saw Aladdin because in Dutch the name is pronounced quite different and not as pretty. A good friend of mine had a younger sister named Jasmine and they pronounced it the English way and I liked it. If a girl is still young she might really love the assoctiation with the Disney princess and when she's older, she probably doesn't care. Anyway, I'm thinking about using this as a middle name for a future daughter. I've considered spelling it Yasmin as well but I think I prefer the spelling Jasmine over it.

-- renee06  2/28/2008

Cute sweet, isn't it?

-- reina  5/9/2008

Jasmine Fenton is the older sister of Danny Fenton, the main character of the Nicktoon Danny Phantom. She goes almost exclusively by Jazz, but there are a few instances where her full name is mentioned.

-- meganmichele  6/24/2008

This name makes me feel all happy inside! (No, I'm not going crazy) But, really, It's not trashy at all. Please ignore the really rude comments, I mean, at least they could've said "No offense!" all those anonymous users that make BTN a bit miserable. ~sigh~ Anyway, back to the beautiful name! I certainly love it.

-- missBridget  7/13/2008

I don't like the name Jasmine - never have. I don't really think it's trashy; it just reminds me too much of the Princess from Aladdin.

-- Anonymous User  8/25/2008

I think this is a beautiful name. I love the fragrance of a Jasmine flower.

-- KayeKiLa  9/14/2008

The Turkish version is Yasemin pronounced like it looks; yass-eh-meen. I think it is one of the prettier versions of Jasmine.

-- Arieanne  1/30/2009

Jasmine is unique, bespeaks liberty, is universal and beautiful. It means "gift from God." The flower Jasmine is pleasant to all senses and serves medicinal purposes. I love it!

-- bobbilee  3/1/2009

I think it's really stupid when people hate a name just because they've had bad experiences with others who have it. The name itself isn't trashy sounding at all.

-- Alaric  4/3/2009

To the person above me about having bad experiences with people with a certain name. Unfortunately, it *can* kill the good vibe for you. The names Melissa, Nicole, and (yes) Jasmine have been ruined in such a way, because the girls were just plain b*tches. They might be pretty names, but I could never use them for any children I have in the future, because of the people I've already met with those names.

Jasmine Elaine Parks is the main character of Jennifer Rardin's urban fantasy vampire novels: Once Bitten, Twice Shy; Another One Bites the Dust; Biting The Bullet; Bitten to Death and One More Bite.

Very exciting and amusing novels for vampire-lovers!

-- Reby  6/2/2009

Jasmine is a beautiful name - my mother almost called me this, but the 'Flower' nickname bothered her. I've known two people with this name; they were both confident and cheerful people, so there is always an association of liveliness in this name for me.

-- chameleon  7/24/2009

I like this name because it's pretty and it always makes me think of pink sequins.

Jasmine Guinness is an Irish model and heiress to the Guinness family fortune. She is also a great-granddaughter of British fascist Diana Mitford.
