Help us choose a girl’s name

Our top three girls names are Cassia, Marnie, and Aria. Which would you pick?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Cassia

user1493494961 · 29/09/2020 20:54

Cassia.

FizzyGreenWater · 29/09/2020 18:43

Cassia definitely.

Aria is a bit frilly-silly. And Marnie is horrid, horrid horrid.

Mawwwwwnieeee! Come ere MAWWWNIEEE!

Flymetothestars · 29/09/2020 11:54

Wasn't there a Marnie film and a character in TV programme Girls? Lots of history behind the name beyond Geordie Shore so wouldn't worry

Flymetothestars · 29/09/2020 11:53

Marnie is my favourite by a mile

I was a big fan of Geordie Shore back in the day and even I didn't make the connection so it's fine

Cassia is ok but shortened to Cassie it just makes me think "Gassy" like after a big meal!

Edenember · 29/09/2020 11:47

A vote for Cassia

Brighterthansunflowers · 29/09/2020 10:51

Cassia

ReeseWitherfork · 29/09/2020 10:47

Or how everyone pronounces the "a" in Harry

That’s exactly it. Sounds like if you were to miss the H off the beginning.

@ReeseWitherfork

I didn’t know Marnie had a connection to Geordie Shore... maybe I’ll change my answer based on that 😂

Cassia makes my brain go straight to Cassius, which is odd because I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about Caesar’s assassination. It’s a pretty name. It reads quite upper class to me but I don’t think that’s a bad thing!

Aria is a very pretty name but I know quite a few, and I do hear some weird pronunciations. I live in the south but a couple of people I know insist on starting our friend’s Aria with the ‘a’ sound northerners use when they say things like ‘bath’.

Apparently Boris Johnson has a Cassia. So I suppose it must be a bit upper class.

@CaffiSaliMali

Cassia Aria Marnie

Are you pronouncing Cassia as Cass-ee-ah or Cash-ah?

Cassie is nice too, could be used as a nickname. I also quite like Cassandra.

Cassia pronounced Cass - ee - ah

I wasn’t aware it could be pronounced another way and don’t think I’m a fan!

Thank you for all your help! Cassia is our favourite!
Although it’s barely been mentioned, my husband isn’t keen on the Geordie Shore link with Marnie. I don’t really think it’s an issue as we don’t watch it but it seems a bit of a marmite name anyway.
I like Aria because it goes well with our chosen middle name Jennifer but am concerned about it dating badly. I’ve also never really seen Game of Thrones and wouldn’t want people to think that we chose it from there.

Cassia by miles. The only one of those I would consider.

Peachbubble · 29/09/2020 06:34

Cassia

SeanCailleach · 29/09/2020 06:33

Marnie as nn for Marin or Marina.
By itself it sounds informal. I do love Marley or Marlie, which is similar sound.

Firebird83 · 28/09/2020 23:32

Definitely Cassia. Aria is trendy and Marnie is unattractive.

yoyoyooo · 28/09/2020 23:28

Aria is a hotel in Las Vegas.

Marnie would be my choice

AllTheUsernamesAreAlreadyTaken · 28/09/2020 23:25

Cassia

Really dislike the sound and of Marnie. It sounds nasally and whiny.

Aria is a bit common now (in both meanings of the word)

Overseasmom100 · 28/09/2020 22:51

Love Cassia...quite unique and very pretty

RunningWaterfall · 28/09/2020 22:48

Cassia or Marnie

Really don’t like Aria
