Yasmeen vs. Yasmine vs. Yazmine

I don't know what spelling to use for the name Yasmeen where people will make sure to pronounce it correctly (YAZZ-MEEN). But I want to make sure I'm not pushing it with the spelling Yasmeen, and most people will still know with the "ine". She will be joining Brent Jordan(7) and Kendra Shea(2). Thanks, Lea Williams.

I'd go with Yazmeen
Yasmine and yazmine rhyme with Jasmine so they won't get said the way you want. So just spell it how you say it.
Good luck.

Yasmine gmv.

I generally don't go with phonetic spellings unless the original is really "out there" (Gaelic names, I'm looking at you.) If I met a Jasmine and heard how she wanted it said I'd have no problem keeping that in mind. Lots of names have more than one "legitimate" pronunciation. Good luck! :0)

Yasmine rhymes with Jasmine so I would not go with that since you want a -meen ending sound.

Yazmeen or yasmeen
