Isadora or Cassia?

Love both and we can’t decide so are putting it to the mumsnet jury. Isadora would be nn Dora and Cassia nn Cassie

Cass-ee-uh

MonaChopsis · 10/02/2019 18:21

I like Cassia, but how would you pronounce it? Cass-ee-ah, or Cash-ah? Or Cay-shah?

gh16 · 10/02/2019 17:56

cassia

MikeUniformMike · 10/02/2019 17:11

Not keen on either but Cassia is the better of the two.
It's a bit too culinary for my liking.

tatianarina it’s weird that I don’t like Cassandra- I can see objectively it’s a nice name but just don’t like it. Guess we can’t all have the same tastes Smile

Isadora is a lot stuffier and more dowdy than Cassandra so I’m not sure that argument holds.

Cassia is a foodstuff.

Violet is nicer than either.

Isadora Violet Flynn will have the initials IVF - i guess it could be cute if she is an ivf baby but possibly something you want to think about

Cassia Violet Flynn has a better set of initials
Personally I would use Cassandra not Cassia

But we’re pretty sure Violet will be the middle name- seems to flow better with both

Ooh seems quite evenly split. I think I prefer Cassie to Dora but Isadora to Cassia so it’s quite tricky

Cassia, as I prefer the Isidora spelling to Isadora.

nevernotstruggling · 09/02/2019 21:49

Cassia Flynn is fabulous

Didyeeaye · 09/02/2019 21:29

Isadora Violet Flynn is lovely

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 09/02/2019 21:00

Cassia. Isadora just seems fake to me.

Baby2namehelp · 09/02/2019 20:49

Ahh autocorrect I meant Isadora

Baby2namehelp · 09/02/2019 20:49

Isidore is lovely

GCAcademic · 09/02/2019 20:36

Cassia is an ingredient I use in curries. It’s basically a kind of cinnamon. To me that would be like calling your child Cardamom or Fenugreek.

lottiegarbanzo · 09/02/2019 20:32

Might Cassia be pronounced Cash-a or Cash-ya by Americans (and maybe others)? The same way that Alicia and Felicia are pr. Aleesha and Feleesha?

Makes me think of currants. Haven't heard of it as a name.

Isadora is lovely.

17caterpillars1mouse · 09/02/2019 20:26

Isadora

jackstini · 09/02/2019 19:18

I like Isadora best with Flynn
Middle names I like Isadora Violet and Cassia Elizabeth

guiltypleasurenamenerd · 09/02/2019 19:15

Definitely isadora.
It’s a take on Isabelle but I love the “adora” bit, it makes me think of “adore” and the “a” ending is so feminine.

Cassia feels made up to me.

OggyOggy · 09/02/2019 19:08

What about Middie-Classia?

Ticks all the socioeconomic boxes.

HappyGoLuckyGo · 09/02/2019 19:03

Cassia Flynn! The clear winner. 👍🏻

Bumblebeesmum · 09/02/2019 18:20

I think Isadora is lovely

Ribbonsonabox · 09/02/2019 18:17

Love Isadora!!

IVflytrap · 09/02/2019 18:15

Cassia, with Violet as the middle name, as it flows better than Elizabeth. Isadora isn't bad, but she could end up as an Izzy, like so many of the thousands of young Isabelle/Isabellas around at the moment. Cassia is a bit different.
