Neither, they both sound like cars.

Secretswitch · 15/09/2013 04:05

I like Cassia Primrose...not a huge fan of Juno. I do love Violet as I have a great Auntie by that name...

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 15/09/2013 04:07

Well I would love to drive a car with such fantastic names Wink

Cassia is beautiful

TheFallenNinja · 15/09/2013 07:10

Cassia Primrose 16v Turbo has a nice ring Smile

Awful

Rooners · 15/09/2013 07:17

I love both but prefer Cassia Primrose because in my mind it is really pretty colours (have that word=colour thing, sorry!) and also very unusual.

I think Juno is becoming very trendy and so is Violet and though they are beautiful separately and together, I still think the other name is just stunning, and no one will be able to roll their eyes and say 'not another one!'

Also primroses are beautiful.
I think you could do worse than wait till you meet her and see which she suits best. Juno is a darker haired child to me. Cassia is very fair and light.

Love Cassia! Elegant, feminine and not overused.

Juno sounds masculine, sorry.

topicsactiveimon · 15/09/2013 07:38

Love Cassia & Violet & really like Juno, too. Not keen on Primrose at all - it's the word 'prim' - just ruins Rose for me.

So... Cassia Rose?

fanjodisfunction · 15/09/2013 07:43

Cassia Violet, sounds better to my ears.

perplexedpirate · 15/09/2013 07:47

Cassia Violet.
Primrose is horrible and reminds me of Dr Shipman's wife (sorry). Sad

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 15/09/2013 07:55

Juno violet.

It's just lovely Smile

charleslingus · 15/09/2013 08:18

Another vote for juno violet, it's gorgeous.

HappyJustToBe · 15/09/2013 08:21

I like Juno Violet more. Cassia Primrose doesn't flow as well for me.

thoughtsbecomethings · 15/09/2013 08:25

Love primroseSmile

Saffyz · 15/09/2013 09:55

Cassia Violet

Saffyz · 15/09/2013 09:56

I'd pronounce it "Cassia", definitely not Casha.

Saffyz · 15/09/2013 09:57

I meant I would pronounce it Cass-ee-a

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 15/09/2013 11:56

Thanks for the responses so far Smile Saffyz yes it would be pronounced Cass ee ah.

I think Cassia is pretty.

I like the name Violet but when written down it's too close to Violent for me. And mixed with Juno I could read it as Judo and it's Judo Violent.

I accept that it's how my strange mind works and no one else may make that connection so feel free to ignore me!

WhoeverHeardOfAWormskinRug · 15/09/2013 15:29

I love all of those, especially Primrose, but I'm biased because I have a Primrose! Named after her great Grandma Smile

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/09/2013 15:34

Cassia Primrose/Violet.

Not Juno.

Rhubarbgarden · 15/09/2013 17:28

I love Primrose and Violet. Juno is ok.

Dislike Cassia because it makes me think of cassowaries. I know that's a bit ridiculous.

SelectAUserName · 15/09/2013 17:47

"Juno Violet?"

"Yes, she lives in the old people's home on the corner."

Sorry OP, but that's my abiding problem with the name Juno when spoken aloud - it sounds a bit like "d'you know...?"

I like the suggestion of Cassia Rose upthread, that's a really pretty name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/09/2013 17:48

What are cassowaries Rhubarb?
