As with most floral names on people, I find Jasmine rather diminutive and tawdry. The trend of using floral names, especially the popular ones like Lily and Violet, in my opinion, will seem very dated to the 2000s and 2010s (i.e. they’ll seem “Grandma” in less than half a century). That said, the floral names are still better than most modern names I hear. I’d choose Elizabeth as a middle name for Jasmine, to give the combination both gravitas and a more serious alternative adult name.I have a relative named Yasmin Sophia who is slightly older than my parents.

I've always loved the name Jasmine, and thought it was a wonderful name; even if it's common among my age group.I'd use the combinations:
Jasmine Adella
Jasmine Ruth
Jasmine Claudia
Jasmine Cora
Jasmine Clara
Jasmine Faye
Jasmine Kate
Jasmine Ethel
Jasmine Adella is so cute. Rustic but with some modern charm.
It's a pretty name, but I think I like Yasmine or Yasmeen better.
Jasmine feels a little dated or tired because of the Disney movie, kind of from the same time period as Jada / Jaden / Jalen (to me, at least).Most Jasmines go by Jaz, Jazz, Jazzy, Jazzi
You could also try Mina, Mini, Jini or Jinny (like genie or Ginny), Jasmi, Mimi, Nini, Ja, JinJasmine Danaë
Jasmine Desiree
Jasmine Lorelei
Jasmine Noelani
Jasmine Pallavi
Jasmine Lilavati
Jasmine Valeria

Jasmine Lorelei and Jasmine Valeria is gorgeous. Jasmine Desiree sounds nice but feels rated-X to me, lol.
It feels tacky, and makes me think of the Disney princess. But I like the idea of Jasmine "Mina", and the French pronunciation zhas-meen. I went to school with a Jaśmina (ya-SHMEE-na) - the Polish equivalent of Jasmine - and thought it was stunning.ETA middle names:Jasmine Corinthia
Jasmine Lavinia
Jasmine Saskia
Jasmine Vanessa

I really like Jasmine Lavinia.
Same! Jasmine Dorothea and Jasmine Winifred is dignified.
I love Jasmine. It's so warmly, richly beautiful, and definitely underrated, by myself as well.I really enjoy it as a middle name.Alana Jasmine
Bianca Jasmine
Chiara Jasmine
Clara Jasmine
Flora Jasmine
Henrietta Jasmine
Isabella Jasmine
Lydia Jasmine
Matilda Jasmine
Sarah Jasmine
Tallulah JasmineJasmine flowers are so pretty. I also love the nickname Jazz or Jazzy. Minnie could be a cute alternative, too!There's also the positive association with Princess Jasmine from Aladdin.

Tallulah Jasmine is gorgeous! Aquatic and reminds me of the ocean. Jasmines are some of my favorite flowers.
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.

I'm with you in disliking Jasmine; Jasmine Jocasta is a masterpiece. Do you know an elderly pop song called Jesamine (that spelling, but don't hold it against them) by a band called The Casuals? Surprisingly good.
Jessamine is a beautiful and refreshing alternative. I havent met too many Jasmine’s in my life so i cant say im “tired” of the name, but Jasmine Leonora is striking!
Jasmine Celeste is very ethereal and pleasant to my senses.
I like it a lot; it's a shame it's been used so often for pets, but it doesn't give me pet vibes as much as say, Bella or Daisy do. I think I'd be more likely to use it for a middle name.
I don't think I'd go out of my way to use a nn for Jasmine; Jazz or Jazzy might come naturally at least at times, but jasmine's so pretty and simple enough that it doesn't need a special nn.Jasmine AdrianaJasmine AlexisJasmine BrielleJasmine CharleneJasmine ChristinaJasmine DianaJasmine DominiqueJasmine ElaineJasmine FayeJasmine GloriaJasmine IreneJasmine KatrinaJasmine KimberlyJasmine LeilaniJasmine LeighJasmine NoelleJasmine PaigeJasmine RaeJasmine RaquelJasmine SabrinaJasmine ValentinaJasmine Yvonne
Jasmine Irene and Jasmine Valentina is very appealing.
