DS3 is a boy.We both like Cassius and came up with Leon as a middle name that I like the sound of with our surname.But is Cassius a difficult name to carry off and would Leon be better as a first name?I've got an unusual name as have always liked being the only one at school etc but for a boy is it better to have something more run of the mill? They will all go to the local school initially where pretty much anything goes as it is very culturally rich,Cassius would raise no eyebrows amongst the other names but I'm just thinking about later on.My other boys are Johnny and Rufus BTW.

I don't mind Cass, but prefer Leon over Cassius.
Erm, not very decisive there am I? Maybe I'm not helping.

Cassius Leon has a very grand sound to it. I really like, it's kind of Roman Emperor-ish. Cass is a great nn too.

If I was having a boy, Cassius would be on my short list.
