Comments for the name Jasmine

A famous bearer of the name is Princess Jasmine from Disney's animated movie Aladdin.

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

The actress who plays Whitley Gilbert on "A Different World" is named Jasmine Guy.

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.

Jasmine is the name of a book by Bharati Mukherjee.

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

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

Not a personal pick, but definitely very pretty!

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.

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".

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

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.

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

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

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.

In Hebrew it is pronounced Yas-min.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Jazz is a nice nickname for a nice name.

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

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.

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.

Version Jasmina is Czech and Serbian.

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.

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.

Slovene form is Jasmina. Lovely name!

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

Very pretty name.

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.

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.

Cute sweet, isn't it?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Jasmine Isabelle Harman (b. 1975) is a British TV presenter.

JASMINA is the Croatian form. A very popular girls name, especially in the 1970's and 80's.

It doesn't sound awful, but face it, it's trashy. I was raised in a working/lower middle class place and like 4-5 girls had it. They were all obnoxious, ghetto, and rude.

According to the US Social Security Administration, the name Jasmine entered the list of the top 1000 girl names in 1973 and broke the top 50 in 1989 (3 years before the release of Disney's Aladdin). Not surprisingly, though, it was most popular in 1993 and 1994, coming in at #23 both years.

My mother named me Jazmine in 1986 when the 's' spelling was 95th and my 'z' spelling was 859, having only broken the top 1000 the previous year. She chose it because it was uncommon. Nowadays, the name is rampantly used (with a variant of spellings, some crazier than others. "Jazzmynn", anyone?) and negatively associated with adult entertainers and girls from low socio-economic backgrounds, which is a pity because the name itself is pleasant-sounding, makes for really fun nicknames, and has a lovely etymology.

I like my name most of the time, sometimes wishing for a more dignified moniker, but mostly loving the unique spelling and all-around fun-loving associations.

This is my name, I was born 1980 and back then when I was in elementary and junior high, this was a very usual and rare name, a likeable name by most, I like the look of it. Then I guess when it was around 1990, after Disney made the Aladdin movie, this name became very popular, too popular, been overused since, and it does bother me a bit, especially when I have a very common last name. I like my pet names, Jassy/Jazz sounds cool to me. Trashy or not has much to do with the bearers, not so much on the name itself.

Since, there was a princess (fake or real) named "Jasmine", I think it sort of gives the name a royal impression. And because all flowers are beautiful, I'm sure any girl named Jasmine would be beautiful (in their own way). Plus, it's just a nice name. And, anyone who loves music, would probably name their daughter Jasmine, then call her Jazz. Especially if they love Jazz music best. So, I could see myself naming a daughter this. I'm even writing a story, where the lead character's name is Jasmine.

This name is one of my guilty pleasures. I love it! I'm not sure if I would use it though. A lot of people think it's trashy. Personally, I don't at all.

Jasmine/Jasmina is very pretty, as long as it's not spelled something awful like Jazmyn.

Jasmine was also the name of the princess loved by the main character's uncle in the movie Secondhand Lions. The main character Walter names his pet lion Jasmine after her.

I love the Jasmine flower and love the name Jasmine - especially as a middle name. I think it goes with many first names and is a beautiful, happy choice.

Maybe this name is overused to some of you, but I guess that where I live it's pretty rare. Or it's just I'm not meeting enough people. :) The only Jasmine I know is my cousin... This name is very pretty. I like it a lot.

This is my friend's name. I call her "Jazzy". :)

I used to like this name but it is too common now...

Jasmine is the name of a Steel-type Gym Leader in the Pokemon games.

A name does not define who a person is and the fact that people call someone trashy or low class based off a name goes to show how unintelligent people really are.

I think it is a very beautiful name, and not trashy at all.I think it is sad that anyone could think that a name is trashy.
