Jasmine
Thoughts on this name?
What middle names would you use?
What would you name a brother and a sister?

Lovely plant. As a human name, I find it ephemeral; it could also shorten to Jazz, which isn't an improvement.Jasmine and Isabella and Liam?

Of the flower names this one has never particularly stuck with me. I knew a girl with it growing up and she was nice enough but it just seems like a 90s dated thing to me. An acquaintance of mine named her daughter Jasmine 6 years ago and I still distinctively remember feeling a bit disappointed. It's not a bad name or anything it's just not particularly interesting or fun to me. I think there are more interesting plant names to be had tbh.

I don't like it, mostly thanks to Disney.

When I hear this name I think about two things: Princess Jasmine and my mom complaining about overwhelmingly intense scent of jasmine (a shrub), the fragrance gives her headaches.
So, Jasmine appears to be heady and frilly to me, a tad bit annoying.Jasmine Soraia, Jasmine Elise or Jasmine OdetteBrother: Emil Alexander
Sister: Brina Giselle

I'm not a fan. It's really, really common where I am, and it feels a bit basic, a bit like Lily. I also don't like the sound very much and I'm ambivalent to jasmine flowers (I don't get the appeal, do they smell good to other people? I don't think jasmine smells good but it's always in perfume). I prefer it to Jasmin, Yasmin and Yasmine though.It would actually be very cute on a pampered house-cat, the kind with silky smoky-blue fur and slumberous eyes. I've never heard it used on a pet where I am in the UK, but that might be because it's such a common person name here.I'd make a sibset of Jasmine, Lily and Rose. They have the same vibe, and actually Rose might be the outlier because it's less common and more old-fashioned as a fn. With a boy, definitely something like Jasmine, Lily and James, Jasmine, Lily and Alex or something. It's not awful but I don't love it and it's overused and very popular here, so it kinda fits with other 'so common they're background' names.
