Cassie?

[WellErrr]

What are people's thoughts on Cassie?

If you like it, how would you spell it, and what would you put on the BC? Cassandra? Cassia? Or just Cassie?

[Salene]

Reminds me of my dog as she is called cassie

[WellErrr]

Hmm not great start....! Anyone else?

[nectarini1983]

It's ok...A bit safe, but makes a change from the Ellies/ Evies/ Isla's etc

[Twowrongsdontmakearight]

I think Cassandra/Cassie is a lovely name. Classic but not too popular. And flexible. She can be Cassandra if she wants to be high powered or Cass if she's laid back - lovely!

We also know a dog called Cassie but also dogs called Sally/Daisy/Tom etc so I wouldn't let that put you off.

[Gileswithachainsaw]

I like it. I'd go with cassiopia

not that id have a dc3 to use it

[Marcipex]

I like it, I'd go for Cassandra I suppose.....only I hear Del and Rodney saying that.

I really like Callie and Callista.

[WellErrr]

Thanks all.

Regarding popularity - does anyone actually know a Cassie? And if so what age?

[notquitegrownup2]

I never comment on name threads, but just had to as I really like Cassie - probably short for Cassandra.

I am a teacher (secondary) but I don't think I have ever taught a Cassie - and I thought I'd taught at least one of everything! So it's unusual without being too different, IMO

I think Cassandra in the Greek myths was a lady who was always predicting tragedies. She was always right but people thought she was a bit miserable...

It is a nice name though

Love Cassia and would have had it for my DS if a DD... No more babies so use it for me!

[stiffstink]

Cassiopeia is amazing, I wish it went with our surname.

Cassie could be short for Cassidy.

[WellErrr]

I like Cassia as I like flower names - I like Cassandra but I do hear Del Boy in my head a bit when I say it...!
Not so keen on Cassiopeia as its a bit of a mouthful....but love that it means the Swan constellation.

Leaning towards Cassia at the moment but DH thinks it sounds a bit made up. She'd be Cassie every day anyway but not sure if that's enough for the BC?

[WellErrr]

Just googling to find some pictures of Cassia flowers and came upon this not-at-all-hilarious description -

Cassia fistula, known as the golden shower tree and by other names....

Kids can't google, right?

[ABitAsleep]

I love the name Cassie! :)

I know one, about 19 years old, from the east midlands - It isn't short for anything, just Cassie.

I would probably use it on its own or as short for Cassidy.

[manicinsomniac]

I like Cassie.

But I love Cassandra and Cassidy and really like Cassia so I don't think I'd shorten it.

I know two Cassandras (one is 25 and the other is 5). The older one goes by Cassandra and the younger by Cece.

[Narp]

I really like Cassie

Although I think it's often good to put an alternative on the BC, in this case I wouldn't.

[MadameDePompom]

I really like the name Cassie. It's pretty but isn't overly twee.

Cassia is lovely too but Cassiopeia is too frill-tastic for me and Cassandra just reminds me of Rodney's drippy girlfriend. Cassidy is surname and I've never met a person with that as their first name.

[Sophronia]

I like Cassandra and Cassia.

[LottieDoubtie]

Kids can google and what's worse is that call it 'search it up'. Which is all kinds of wrong.

Cassie is lovely, I think I would put Cassandra on the BC for options in adulthood. I know one Cassie, she would be early 30s now and probably still Australian

I don't think it's ever been majorly popular in the UK, but it's nice.

[GingerLeaves]

I don't really like it, sorry...

[Penfold007]

I'd go for Cassandra and use Cassie as a family name for her.

[Nuttypops]

It's lovely, it is one I would consider for our next DC.

I taught a Cassie (Cassandra) about 2 years ago, she was 8 at the time. First time I have known anyone by the name.

[JugglingTheBalls]

I alway regret not using cassie for my last dc but he was a ds

My granny was Catherine but alway know as Cassie. It's a beautiful name. I don't know of any Cassie s around here.

[Nuttypops]

Actually, I know another Cassie, she is 25 I think.
