If you cannot choose, go for all four. Why not? Boys have four names. My mum has four names, including Primrose. She was baptised on Primrose Day.

Cassia Rose or Cassia Violet, don't like primrose and i think Juno is a harsh name.

Cassia is a yam eaten in Africa, or is it Cassova? I like Violet.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 15/09/2013 18:43

Cassia is a spice similar to cinnamon (I'm not sure re the yam thing, but it doesn't bother me tbh)

For those who don't like Primrose with Cassia how about Cassia Peaches... For some reason I really like a middle name beginning with P to go with Cassia. However Boris Johnson has a dd called Cassia Peaches, I don't want it to seem like I'm copying. I'm in Ireland so I'm not sure how many people would make the association. It is a little out there but I like going a little crazy with middle names.....really living on the edge you know Wink

I really like Cassia. Juno to me is meh and very 'now'.
Cassia Primrose is better than Cassia Peaches, which sounds like a cartoon character.
How about
Cassia Pearl
Cassia Peony
Cassia Paloma
Cassia Posy
Cassia Persephone

Oooh Cassia Pearl is gorgeous.....why didn't I think of that?!

I love Juno, but prefer the middle name Primrose. If you go for Cassia (which is also nice) I like the surname Pearl.

bundaberg · 15/09/2013 22:45

Juno Violet

i don't know why, just don't like Cassia that much

Floggingmolly · 15/09/2013 22:48

Absolutely dreadful.

LondonNinja · 15/09/2013 22:51

Not Juno.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/09/2013 22:54

Yy Cassia Pearl is gorgeous.

10/10for poster who suggested that

Viviennemary · 15/09/2013 23:30

Cassia Primrose is awful. And so is Juno Violet. However, I like the name Violet but not teamed with Juno. Cassia is not to my taste but it's fine but not with Primrose.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/09/2013 23:52

I can't get passed the name Juno sounding like a a question.

"D'know Emily Smith" etc

Saffyz · 16/09/2013 01:22

Cassia Peaches sounds like a recipe, sorry!

Scarletohello · 16/09/2013 01:30

Peach Melba?

Italiangreyhound · 16/09/2013 01:42

Cassia Violet.

Lovely names.

LeoandBoosmum · 16/09/2013 01:48

Neither for me, sorry. The only name I like out of those is Violet.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 16/09/2013 18:04

I think myself and dh prefer Cassia Primrose, and even though there has been a mixed bag of comments it's not putting me off.

I think it is unusual, edgy and pretty with a little bit of quirky-ness added, which is exactly what we are looking for. I think it must be a good sign that none of the negative comments are quelling my love of the name or the combination. Thanks for your help! Grin

fingers that's always the best marker if others knock it but you still love it, it's def the name for you! Stick to your guns it's your dd after all!

janey68 · 16/09/2013 21:04

Cassia Rose or Cassia Violet.

Juno isn't nearly as pretty, cool or classy

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 16/09/2013 22:02

Violet is definitely a possibility as a middle name with Cassia, I just have Primrose stuck in my head.

Juno Violet. Definitely.
