Yasmin (for a girl, obvs)
Yes, I am aware it has Persian origins.
But I really love it.
Yay or Nay?
ETA: Oh heck, I just remembered that its also the name of a birth control pill

Yeah, I was thinking of the pill, too.
It’s a pretty name. I like unique, so it would be a yes from me if it didn’t have other connotations.
Btw, love your screen name!

Meaning it could be a secular name like Lisa or Michelle. But it’s not a Hebrew name |
Correction: it's Hebrew for Jasmine. If you would name a kid Shoshana or Vered, then it's just as legitimate.
OP, in Israeli society it is a lovely name, though as you said - overall Persian, and with no religious connotation per se.

As Rappel said, it’s a common enough name in Israel (not very popular and a bit dated but I know at least one), actually sounds very Israeli to me.

I don’t know where you’re getting this Yosmin from, in modern Hebrew there is no difference between Kamatz and Patach, they both sound the same and it the name is pronanced Yasmeen (but I imagine spelled Yasmin).

The Arabic version is Yasmeena.

Like on birth certificate I would put Sophia. But oficialy we would name Tzofiya . |
Every Tsofiya I know is very pretty, and very intelligent. I also think it's a gorgeous name with a lot of depth to it. I've never met someone in the US name Tsofiya, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be one.
