What do you think of this girls name?? Or can you suggest an alternative?

[WellErrr]

Cassia.

Shortened to Cassie probably.

Or can you suggest anything else?
Englishy/fairly traditional but not popular or boring.

Prefer flower names.

Thank you!

[CPtart]

It sounds like a Greek holiday resort.
Cassandra is much nicer.

[Elllicam]

I love it, it's on my list too :) (had been before :) )

[WellErrr]

Blossom makes me think of a big dairy cow

But I'm glad people like Cassia

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

Blossom always makes me think of this little Blossom we were behind while crazy golfing once... She was really naughty and her parents going 'Blossom, Blossom darling, Blossom don't do that please' in really soft ineffective voices was hilarious Also it reminds me of the word 'bosom'.

[Namelessbabe]

I know a Cassia - pretty name.
I like Rosa and Rose too.
What about Blossom too?

[Porcupinetree]

I think Cassia is nice. Cassie sounds like a dog's name.

[Socksandslippers]

I pronounce it Cass-ee-a

[dailymaillazyjournos]

Was also going to suggest Kezia but was beaten to it.
Rosa
Rosalia
Rosanna
Susannah/Suzanna
Florence

[CoYoAddict]

Yes I guess like Alicia we would Al-is-eya whereas Americans tend to say Aleesha

[HouseOfBiscuits]

Cassia is a lovely name.

I'd pronounce it as CASS-ee-a in the UK.

I think Cash-a and Cash-us are American pronunciations.

[CordeliaFrost]

Oh and lovely name OP.

[CordeliaFrost]

I pronounce it CA-sha, as it's the feminine of Cassius, which is traditionally pronounced CASH-us.

Plus the only Cassia I know pronounces it this way.

[CoYoAddict]

I would say CASS-ee-a

wouldn't occur to me to pronounce it any other way

[ChessieFL]

How is it pronounced? Cass-ee-a or Cass-eye-a?

[Socksandslippers]

My daughter is called Cassia (she's 2 years old). I think it's very pretty but it does bug me when people pronounce it wrong!

[BigGreenOlives]

All the baby name sites seem to say Greek - of course who knows what their sources are. The only Cassias I've come across have been very upper middle class.

[CoYoAddict]

Just not sure if there is a connection although they are similar

[CoYoAddict]

Wouldn't that be Cassiope or Cassiopia?

[BigGreenOlives]

I think of it as a fairly classical name. It's Greek in origin.

[CoYoAddict]

It is quite pretty but yes, it's Chinese cinnamon which is allegedly quite toxic.

Not that most people will know or care about that.

[Sophronia]

How about Kezia / Keziah? It means cassia or cinnamon.

[julfin]

I'd never heard of it until earlier this evening on another thread (was that you?) but I like it. Cassie is nice too.

[minipie]

who does that Vocational?

I have friends whose DC names are a bit but I wouldn't dream of saying so.

what is the name?

[WellErrr]

Oooh Vocational can you say what it is?

I do love Cassia. I'm 95%.
