Imlive is also no great shakes, IMO. LJ is unusual enough to be memorable. JOYourself OTOH.... I think they were just seeing how far they could go with absurd names.

As for LiveJasmin, it simply comes from their 'parent' Hungarian company, Jasmin, right? Perhaps the name is from a relative or child of one of the founders, though IIRC they used to have the flower on the jasmin.hu page years ago, so I always thought it was from the plant.
Not sure I follow your logic on more obscure = best. The name would most likely indicate a solo site cam model, certainly not a large live cam portal. I've never seen any indication there is a parent company by the name of Jasmin on their site or whois. At least streamate had the forethought to register their similar name whereas livejasmin failed to even register the most obvious typo livejasmine.
