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

Jennifer (I am biased though as I have one)

Enidblyton1 · 15/07/2017 14:17

Oh and I also love Cassia like pp

I love Cassandra (nickname Cassie). Jennifer is ok, but not as exciting. It's much less common these days, but to me it would always be less special than Cassandra.

Middle name I would do Margaret rather than Maggie - my DD has Margaret as a middle name after her great granny.

Haha! I do actually think it sounds nice as a middle name, I just don't know anyone with that name who likes it themselves.

I think Jenny is due a comeback.

Margaret was my mums name and ironically she didn't like it either Rain 😂 But I still want to use it in remembrance

I prefer Cassie, but Jenny is nice too. Also, I understand that Margaret is for personal reasons - but everyone I know with that middle name doesn't like it.

Definitely Jennifer with the option of nickname Jenny. Margaret as a middle name.

I know Jennies in their 30s and 40s. Lovely name that deserves a comeback.

I know too many dogs called Cassie.

Cassia.

Interesting that there aren't many little Jenny's. sounds like Margaret over Maggie is definitely the best option though

Cassandra Margaret. Although there's not many little Jennys around now

MikeUniformMike · 15/07/2017 12:18

Jennifer Margaret.

Katmeifyoucan · 15/07/2017 12:15

Oh and would you have Maggie or Margaret as the middle name (it has to be one of those for personal reasons)
