Jasmine
Jasmine went up a bit in 2019, I guess due to the Aladdin movie. Do you think it will rise further and end up in the top 50 again? Or is it too 90s for that?I do like it, I think it is one of my favorite J names. It also makes a good middle name.Also, if you had to choose ANY J-name for a daughter, which one and why? I'd choose Jasmine because I love the plant, its scent and the Aladdin movie. I also kind of like Joanna and Josephine as well as Juliet. Which one would you pick?

I quite like Jasmine as a name, and it's one of my favorite flowers (for their scent). However, other than 1 person, every Jasmine I've ever met (with the correct flower spelling) has had a serious attitude problem., particularly in terms of aggressive entitlement. It's like the name is cursed - for me, anyway. (Strangely enough, people with "creative" spellings of the name are usually all right.) As for popularity it's slowly declining, but I foresee it being regarded as a very Millennial / Zoomer name in the future.As for my favorite feminine J-name, that's easy: Juliana. It's one of my very favorites.

I don't like Jasmine. The "Jazz" sound just isn't my thing. I don't get a dated feel from it, but I also don't see it entering the top 50, not unless some celebrity names their kid that or a popular TV show names a character that. I don't think the Disney princess will push it far enough.I would pick Juliette. It's traditional and elegant.

I’ve always loved the name Jasmine, it just sounds beautiful to me and the plant smells divine. I honestly don’t think it’s dated, it seems like a botanical classic to me. It might go up in popularity again, it’s possible. I love lots of J names, but my fave J name for a girl is Jemima, I just adore that name.

I like Jasmine a lot but I’m not sure about top 50 again but I’m also in the UK and I’m not sure how high it rose here. The only Jasmine I knew was one of my brownies (girls 7-10) and she will be 18 now. My favourite J name is Jemima after a historical figure in the UK Jemima Fawr also known as Jemima Nicholas.I also like Juliet, Julia, Jenna, Jennifer and Jillian

It will rise further, it's one of those names that always sound fresh and young. I would pick Jessica, although I also like Jane, Jasmine, Jennifer, Jill, Joan, Jocelyn, Jolene, Josephine and Julia.
