My great grandmother was Greek. Her name was Kassiani but went by Kassiana. Which do you prefer?

Kassiana with a K is my favourite. I hope we’re a diverse enough nation to cope with a K and not a C initial.

Bakeittillyoumakeit · 22/07/2026 17:26

Kassiana definitely.

I would go with Cassiana. She would have to explain K again and again.

Me too.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 22/07/2026 09:47

definitely Kassiana!

I’m not keen on Kassiara tbh. It just doesn’t sound as nice and you’d lose the connection to your grandmother…

thank you everyone for your thoughts. I'm thinking between Kassiana and Kassiara and have ruled out Kassiani

Lovely name
Please don’t shorten to Kassie

SallySunPop · 22/07/2026 09:22

I think the K makes these names even more beautiful

Kassiana is beautiful.

ApolloandDaphne · 22/07/2026 09:02

I like Kassiana.

SallySunPop · 22/07/2026 09:01

Both are lovely.

Would change to a C start so it looks more English otherwise lifetime of explaining the name in UK

God forbid something isn’t “english” enough.

I prefer Kassiana - it's really pretty.

I wouldn't go for Kassiara, as you loose the connection to your great grandmother!

Notsurenotsurenotsure · 21/07/2026 19:13

Well, I read Kassiani as Kassiana anyway so I'd go for option 2.
