Is this the traditional way of spelling it? Is it the most common?

Also what do you think of Jazmin spelt this way?

Not sure whether it is the most traditional way, but it is the most intuitive way for me and the version I like best.
(there is also: Hailee, Hailie, Hailey, Haylie)

I do not like Jazmin spelt like that - I think your daughter will be forever spelling it out. I would stick with Jasmine (which is the traditional way).

I am not sure if that is the traditional or most common spelling of Hayley either but that is the way I would spell it.

I dislike Jazmin spelt like this. Jasmine is the most common spelling I have seen but I prefer Jasmin.

I would go with that spelling of Hayley too.

Jazmin is hideous. Please go with Jasmine. Why would you want to butcher it like that?
--hola--
Please spell it Jasmine!!! Beautiful name.

RE: Hayley - I personally prefer the sp Haley or Hailey - Mainly due to the fact that when it is spelt Hayley I always focus on the 'Hay' part (Hayley) - that really gets on my nerves rolleyes.gif

I like the spelling of Hayley, just like that!!

Its funny because during both my pregnancies, if I was to have a girl it was going to be called Jasmine. I prefer the spelling of Jasmine with and 's' instead of a 'z'.

So on all accounts I think I love all the names you've chosen!!!

Good Luck

Here's all the variations:

Haley, Hailey, Hali, Halley, Halie, Haly, Haeli, Haylee, Hayleigh, Hailee, Hailly, Haylea, Haylie, Hayly, Haleigh, Halee, and Halii

Some are interesting. blink.gif

I agree with most, Hayley is the way I would spell the name.

Jazmine spelt this way is really awful (sorry). The usual way of Jasmine looks more feminine IMO.

I have always thought that Hayley was spelt that way but my DSD is Haylee, I prefer it I think it looks prettier.
Flanette
Thanks

I think I prefer the spelling Hayley

I do hate playing with the spelling of names hense why I asked for the tradional spelling for Hayley. My issue with Jasmine is that my BIL is Jason and gets called Jas and I know she will be shorten to Jas too! Confusing wacko.gif

I have a Hayley and I didnt consider spelling it any other way. She has received bday cards etc with lots of variations though - most common would be Haley or Hailey.

Hayley and Jasmine.
Sorry, i'm a sticker for traditional spelling.
I knew a Jasmine a while ago who was still shortened to Jas pron "Jaz". I'm not sure if i'm reading your reply wrong but is Jas as in Jason pron "Jayse"?
IMO "Jayse" and "Jaz" is different enough to work.

I love Hayley for a girl - with the original spelling Hayley.

I like Jasmin - with that spelling.

Jasmine is very pretty. Jazmin is horrible.
