Keziah or Cassia?

Keziah is a Old Testament girl's name, which has the same meaning as Cassia, which has a Greek origin.

Which do you prefer?

Traditional nickname for Keziah is Kizzy, and Cassia Cassie.

Both are sweet but I think Cassia is beautiful and truly elegant. Can be shortened to Sia as well which I like

Neither, as I suspect that Keziah will get said as Kez-ya, and Cassia as Casha.

Cassia is beautiful and elegant.

I used to go to school with a Keziah, she was weird. A bit like the Keziah in Notting Hill too.

Love Keziah.

Cassia - lovely and woefully underused

Keziah is ok, but awkward to say

I like Keziah or Cassandra. Not so keen on Cassia not sure why.

DPotter · 29/07/2022 17:51

Keziah for me - I'm rather partial to Zs

DotDotDotDotDot · 29/07/2022 17:48

Is it pronounced Kez-ee-ah or Kez-eye-ah? I’m never too sure. I think I prefer Cassia/Cassie anyway, although both are nice.

WWRGD · 29/07/2022 17:45

I prefer Keziah, much more interesting.

AmandaMirandaPanda · 29/07/2022 17:36

Cassia.

(Although the Keziah I know goes by Kez, occasionally Kezzie.)

Cassia
