we've picked our names, opinions?

Question

I'm about 10 weeks pregnant and we've already picked names... though those could change - since it'll be awhile before baby comes.

Tristan Mychael for a boy
Jasmine Nicole for a girl

I've also thought about making Mychael the more traditional spelling "Michael" and Jasmine, less traditional with Jazmine. Any thoughts or opinions? (and I've already heard enough arguments that people think Tristan is a girl name, so please don't go there)
I also have a 7 year old son who's name is Damon Scott, and a 5 year old daughter named Heaven Leigh.

Answer 1

I think that the names are good, use the spelling for Michael, as Mykal or Mychael those are ok, and for Jasmine, Jazmine is ok, but spice it up a bit and spell it Jazmyne, now that is awesome! Jazmyne Nycole oe Jazmyne Nicole are both good!

Tristan, I always thought was a boy name. I have never met a girl named Tristan only Trista, so maybe that is where it is dirived. But use it, it is a very cute name and would be great with Michael!

Jazmyne Nycole or Jazmine Nicole and
Trystan Mychael or Tristan Michael

That would be my votes, and you can mix and match any way you choose!

And remember just one more thing, no matter what anyone on this Yahoo! Answers says, the ultimate decision is yours, this is your child! But just consider this, ask your 2 older children what they would like to name the baby if it was a boy or girl. Really consider using a name that they have choosen, it will make them feel a lot closer to the baby and it will make them feel a lot better too! They will feel like they are a huge part of the family, just please consider that! It would really be nice! I am going to ask my older daughter when I get pregnant again for her thoughts, I just thought I would give you an idea! In the end it is up to you!

I really like all the names that you have used, and Heaven Leigh is really original! I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 2

I love the name Jasmine Nicole!!! Either Jasmine or Jazmine would be great. Tristan Mychael is just okay for me. I like the spelling Michael better though. Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

Tristan is gaining popularity, I dig it. Just keep in mind how people will take it seriously. As an actor or a model, it would be amazing. As a business executive, not so much.

Mychael... ditch the Y and you've got a good foundation.

Jasmine... I like it. Again, I have the same argument for this one as for "Tristan"

Nicole is classy and is a classic.

Answer 4

I work in an elementary school and have seen Tristan used for either a boy or a girl. Historically, Tristan has been a masculine name. As for the spelling of Mychael, I think it might lead to confusion as to the child's gender for someone only seeing the name written, especially paired with Tristan.

I have also seen Jasmine spelled either way. In my experience working with students, girls with this name who spell it with an "s" tend to be more feminine, and those who spell it with a "z" are more social. (I don't know why this is.)

Good luck!

Answer 5

I think the names are very pretty! Congratulations on your pregnancy.

My recommendation is that you go for spellings that are common so the child doesn't have to go through life with misspellings. I have both a first and last name that is frequently spelled wrong and am so mindful of names that are 'creatively' spelled. Since your other children have names that have common spellings, I would simply recommend you stay the course and go with Michael and keep Jasmine the way it is.

I like Tristan for a girl - never heard of that, but I like it. Congrats!

Answer 6

I like Jasmine as Jasmine, not Jazmine. I also like Mychael as Michael, but if you went with Michaela as a girl's name, do it as Mychaela or the way I wrote it above.

Tristan is definitely NOT a female name!! Remember Tristan on Gilmore Girls? Or the one in Tristan and Isolde?? MEN!!!!! Trystan is more masculine, you can try that instead if you want.

Nice names, forgive me for being a bit on the traditional side, but good luck!!

Answer 7

I would never associate the name "Tristan" with a girl. I agree that you should make "Mychael" more traditional with the "i", and I disagree that you should make "Jasmine" less traditional with the "z." Otherwise, nice names.

Answer 8

I like both names, they're beautiful. The different spelling of "mychael' is neat.

PS. I've never heard a girl named Tristan. Sounds like a boys name to me. Don't know where people came up with that. :)

Answer 9

Firstly Ive got to say I LOVE the name Heaven - I like unusual names - my daughter's name is Tai (said like Tai Chi) as for Tristan I automatically assumed it was for a boy - I actually find both those names a bit old fashioned for my liking howevedr thats just my opinion - if it were me I would find something unusual - your spelling of Mychael is unusual so I wouldnt change it, as for Jasmine it doesnt really matter if you spell it either way it is a rather common name here in the last few years (in Australia anyway)

Answer 10

Boys name is nice. I would use the Michael for spelling on his. I think the Y is not a good idea for a boys name.
I like the girls name, I would like Jazmine better. I think it's neat for a girl. Not so sure I like the Nicole, but that's just a personal preference.
