[Opinions] Re: Jasmine
Some flower names just don't work for me, and Jasmine is one. Also Lily, Primrose and Disa. In all cases I like the flower and its name, just not on a human.So I can't find a kind word to say about Jasmine and especially Lily Jasmine! But, perhaps it's partly the prospect of Jazz as a nn, because I like Jessamine much better and I don't mind Jessie or Jess at all. What do you think of Jessamine? Normally, names like that are too frilly for me, so I'm a bit puzzled right now.

I love Jessamine too! The thing is that it is really close to Jasmine so I'd be worried people would always mix them up. It would be like naming a girl Amelie these days, it has a long history and everything but she would have to explain many times that she isn't Emily or Amelia.
