I always think of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin or the perfume Jasmine. There are a few actresses with this name. It is a pretty nature related name. It has a pretty meaning and the look of it is very nice. I have used this for a secondary characters child's name. The character I used it on is a Fairy and a sister of Lavender.
