I think it's somewhat cute as a nn for Jasmine or Jazlyn or even Jessica or Josephine, if they're a certain personality. But it also has a cheap, street-name quality to it, like you might find it on one of the Sharks or Jets or their girlfriends in West Side Story.
Likewise on a guy, but it seems even more self-conscious there.
I recently read a book about the famous robbery of Brinks headquarters in the early 1950's, and one of the thieves was named Adolph Maffie, called Jazz.
