Your thoughts on these two names

[bluecars]

We are currently thinking about names but are no where near decided so expect lots more posts! I really like the names Jasmine and Cassie (after seeing this one quite a bit on MN). Am not keen on Cassandra though just Cassie.

What do you think? How are they regarded i.e. do they have any connotations? Do you think they would stand the test of time? Really want to avoid faddy or pretentious names.

I like Cassidy . Nn Cassie . Alternative to Cassandra .

I like Jasmine, kind of harmless. I know one Cassie. I don't like it as a full name.

Both lovely but I would use a longer name with Cassie as nn. If you are not keen on Cassandra (or Cassidy as suggested above) how about Cassia?

Cassiopeia?

I love Jasmine. Another form is Jessamine.
Also I love Cassie. Another form is Cassia.

Cassie is lovely and perfectly fine on its own. im not keen on Jasmine.

Love Cassie but love Cassandra too. Jasmine doesn't do much for me in comparison.

Jasmine is awful
I know of a girl with this name and her name gets shortened to Jazzy.
Awful.

Cassie is the better choice of those two.

Jasmine's alright. Not my personal taste, but certainly it doesn't make me shudder.

Cassie is pretty, I know someone who uses it as a nickname for Catherine, if you don't like Cassandra?

I like Cassie but I know a Cassie (Cassandra really but no one uses that and never have) and she says its a dog's name. I don't personally know any dogs called Cassie!

Jasmine is lovely.

Cassie/Cassandra are nice, but personally I think Cassie is too nicknamey on its own so would want a "full" version. How about Cassia, with Cassie as nickname?

Love jasmine but ruled out for us as its so common now. I would've shortened it to Minnie.

Both very nice. I think I prefer cassie a bit.

I am a kassandra, but nobody calls me that and I don't answer if they do unless its my mum . Hate it. I introduce myself as kassie which people shorten to Kas once they know me well (which I love!)
Hate jasmine but I think that's just association with someone I don't get on with.
Fwiw yes I know a few dogs called cassie, which can be quite awkward when someone says 'oh my dogs called cassie'
Sorry for typos, grammar and ramble, its late!

Jasmine super commOn round here, with the posher kids.
Cassie is a bit horsey.

Not keen on Jasmine. Love Cassie and was on my list for DC2, but he was a DS in the end. I felt like you, love Cassie but not keen on Cassandra as full name.

I love Jasmine - would shorten to Jaz! Cassie without a long version is not great, you'd have to give her a full name too I think.

What about Jessamy, which combines elements of the two. Love them both though.

I had a friend at school. Caroline, nn Cassie
