Hi all,
I was just wondering what your preference is between Jennifer (Jenny) and Cassandra (Cassie.)
Thank you!

Thanks everyone! I personally don't like Cassia (not sure why!!) so that's not an option for me. Still think Jennifer is my preference at the moment, but keep swaying!

Cassie is m favourite, not keen on Cassandra.

Prefer Jennifer to Jenny 🙂

Jennifer is lovely but Jenny is not.

Jen is my preferred shortening, Jenna at a push.

All of the Cassie's I know are quite rough around the edges, but ultimately lovely.
Cassandra reminds me of Del Boy and Rodney.

Cassie Margaret is nice.

Cassie was on my shortlist but I couldn't take to Cassandra and DH didn't like it as a stand alone name.

Jenny. I have one. She's amazing!

DramaAlpaca · 16/07/2017 22:38

Jennifer Margaret would be my choice.

I love Cassie but hate Cassandra. I like Cassia though. Don't like Jenny or Jennifer.

villainousbroodmare · 16/07/2017 22:09

Really like both but would probably choose Jennifer Margaret. Jenny is lovely. So is Maggie but prefer a full bc name.

I love Cassie.

But prefer just Cassie or Cassia over Cassandra.

Jennifer Maggie

I love Jennifer - I have a 20 year old one - and love all the variations.

unikorn · 16/07/2017 13:46

Jenna

ilivebythesea · 16/07/2017 11:55

Sorry, both nice! Jennifer probably more so, but I do like Cassie! Save one for another daughter???

mum2be2boys · 16/07/2017 10:30

Love Jennifer Margaret :-)

Lottie991 · 15/07/2017 18:54

Cassie is a pretty name.

Jennifer Margaret (Jenny).

Jennifer Margaret

Sophronia · 15/07/2017 15:58

I love Jennifer and Jenny!

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 15:01

Cassia is much nicer than Jenny. To me Jenny is in the same boat as Claire, Sarah and Rachel. Perfectly ok but a bit boring.

I think we are leaning towards Jennifer which seems to be the general consensus here as well

I love Jennifer.

My eldest has maggie as her middle name after my godmother. Godmother was Margaret but nobody called her that so didn't seem right to use it, she was always auntie maggie to me. I prefer Jennifer/jenny . No offence meant but Im not a fan of Cassie at all, sounds like a pets name to me

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 14:19

I love Jennifer. It was really popular about 40 years ago but I don't know many baby Jennys.
