Book is 'I capture the Castle' for anyone confused.Grin

One of my favourite books! I love the names equally. Rose is a very giddy character and cassandra was quieter and more thoughtful. I wanted Cassandra but didn't go with our surname so we used as middle name.

kenandbarbie · 02/01/2019 10:09

Cassandra / Cassie as it's more unusual

Astronica · 02/01/2019 09:29

Rose/Rosie is gorgeous and my favourite.

Zazia · 02/01/2019 01:16

Cassandra / Cassie

mrsdaisyodonnell · 02/01/2019 01:06

Cassia Rose nn Cassie

DramaAlpaca · 29/12/2018 23:52

Rose is beautiful.

Cassandra is awfully fussy.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 29/12/2018 10:42

I like Rose as a first name too. I only know one and she's 19.

K80hughes · 29/12/2018 10:42

I like the Rosa alternative too :) beautiful xx

Cbeebiesrehab · 29/12/2018 10:40

Rose as a first name isn’t actually as common as some would have you believe (ranked 60th) I think it’s simple and pretty.
Cassandra is a bit Only Fools and Horses for me. Only hear it in Del Boy’s voice.

TatianaLarina · 29/12/2018 10:25

Cassandra/Cassie by far. Rose is massively overused. Would be nice as a middle name.

LadyGAgain · 28/12/2018 10:26

Rose/Rosie/Rosa/Rosalie

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 28/12/2018 10:17

We have a rosemary nn Rosie and I still love it

I like Cassie but not Cassandra

RedDwarves · 28/12/2018 10:14

Rose nn Rosie.

I like Cassie but not Cassandra. Cassia is fine, but Rose is better.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 27/12/2018 23:55

Cassia.

Sophronia · 27/12/2018 23:02

Cassandra is very underused.

sluj · 27/12/2018 18:28

Cassandra depends on if you can deal with the North/South pronunciations of CassANdra and CassARNdra.
A bit too Fools and Horses for me

CloserIAm2Fine · 27/12/2018 18:22

Cassandra/Cassie

Ipanema01 · 27/12/2018 18:21

Love Rose for a first. Rosie is also sweet. Cassandra/Cassie for me are quite outdated, sorry!

Feebeee · 27/12/2018 18:12

Love Cassie but not a fan of Cassandra although I don’t think Cassie is ‘complete’ enough for bc. I second Cassia as a pp has suggested
Don’t like Rose at all so overall would still pick Cassandra nn Cassie because the nn is worth it

MrsJayy · 27/12/2018 17:37

Rosa is lovely.

hiptobeasquare · 27/12/2018 17:31

Cassandra.

Alwaysonholiday · 27/12/2018 17:30

I like Rosa

DeepIn40 · 27/12/2018 17:15

Rose/Rosie

But prefer Rosanna and Rosa...

Honeybee79 · 27/12/2018 17:11

Really like Cassie but not a huge fan of Cassandra. Like the simplicity and elegance of Rose as a first name.
