Cass? For a boy?

Just read this on another thread, quite liking! However, wouldn't go for Cassius as don't like so much....After staring for hundreds of years so far at names lists, I feel like everything sounds weird - what are your thoughts on Cass (no long name), for a boy?

I know a Cassidy.

I would assume it was short for Cassander.

I like it, but only as a nn. Like Cassian or Caspar as a longer verson.

Not on it's own, but as a nickname it works.

I really like Cass for a boy but as a nn.

I wanted Caspian, Cassian or Cassius but my partner hates them.

Cassidy?

I worked with a bloke called Cass once - not a nn. I quite like the name (it's from a book I think?), but he did have all the usual issues with it, like people asking for the full name, how to spell it, getting mail addressed to 'Cath'... Grin

It just makes me think you probably conceived or come from Castleford.

I just can't lose 'friendly ghost' connotations!

I quite like it.
I'd personally go for Caspar though.
