    I like Jasmine much better, she wouldn't have to spell it for people as often as its the usual spelling and she is more likely to be able to get personalised cups/drink bottles etc etc that kids love.

    That is true. We spelt all the other kids names the usual way. DD1 is the only one who is different. I always felt bad that we couldn't buy her any of those things, but I really do like her spelling better. I think its because Jasmine is so pretty & girly. I thought Jazmyne, shortened to Jaz, rather than Jas would be more suited to any personality iykwim.
    I don't regret it, but she might hate me for it later.

    But then I have Brianna, Jesse & Summer & I get asked every time how they are spelt. & with my name being Skye, having to spell a name for the rest of my life was something I'd learnt to live with, so didn't think much of it. Plus, as long as she didn't get called ground or cloud, I really didn't care!
