Girls name Cassia thoughts

I love the name Cassia Fawn for a girl and wanted to know thoughts, mainly on Cassia as my husband probably won’t let me have Fawn in the name.

I’d go the whole hog and have Cassiopeia

Cassia is ok but sound more of a nickname to a more formal one. So do lots of names these days though so that's not really an issue. Fawn is terrible though. What's the thinking behind that?

Thereshegoesagain · 07/10/2023 23:25

It's the name of an up and coming band who have signed with a big label.

Cassia is lovely. Not sure about Fawn ,

YoungBritishPissArtist · 07/10/2023 23:12

Are you going to pronounce it Cass-ee-uh or Cash-uh?

If the latter, she’ll be correcting people all the time.

Sorry, makes me think of a calculator or cheap watch.
Much prefer Cassie / Cassandra

LargeMeateor · 07/10/2023 22:32

I love the name Cassia.
My son is called Cassius and no one mentions Cassius Clay so I doubt they would for Cassia.
I didn't even know who Cassius Clay was when I chose the name.

WaitingForSunnyDays · 07/10/2023 22:25

I'd be surprised if many people under 50 think of Cassius Clay! I love Cassia, but dislike Fawn

Daisybuttercup12345 · 07/10/2023 22:21

Cassius Clay
A calculator with similar name.
Don't like Fawn.
Cassandra Dawn?

uncomfortablydumb53 · 07/10/2023 22:17

I really like Cassia
Fern instead of Fawn sounds nicer to me

BoomBoom0 · 07/10/2023 22:14

Would you like Saskia Rose or Alessia Fleur idk.......
Clemence?

LD45006 · 07/10/2023 21:58

Awful name, people are not telling you the truth if they are saying it is nice. People will think of Cassius Clay when they hear that name!

SoftSheen · 07/10/2023 21:27

Cassia is nice.

Not Fawn!

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2023 21:26

I prefer Cassie. I don't like Fawn.

Debini · 07/10/2023 21:19

It reminds me of a calculator sorry.

Velvetbee · 07/10/2023 21:19

Love Cassia.

SneezyEvie · 07/10/2023 21:13

Like Cassia. Not keen on Fawn. How about Cassia Fearne?

BoomBoom0 · 07/10/2023 21:01

Dislike both names. Prefer Cassie for Cassandra.

Enko · 07/10/2023 20:37

I like Cassia but also agree with your dh that Fawn has to go they don't run well together.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 07/10/2023 20:35

I knew a Cassia - in her case it was short for Cassiopeia...

StarlightLime · 07/10/2023 20:35

Cassia is nice (but I prefer Cassie), Fawn really needs to go in the bin.

tenbob · 07/10/2023 20:35

I love it. There is a Cassia at DS1’s year at school and I’ve always thought it’s a gorgeous name

She is Cass for short but most people still use Cassia day to day

(I agree with your husband about Fawn though, sorry)

Zola1 · 07/10/2023 20:33

I absolutely love Cassia

MerryChristmasToYou · 07/10/2023 20:31

It's ok but it makes me think of cassia bark. Cassie short for Cassandra is better IMO.
