Cassie?

[summerflora]

What are your thoughts on Cassie as a nickname for Cassandra? I've recently fallen in love with it again, and when I was a child I always thought I'd name my daughter Cassandra after the main character in Dodie Smith's "I Capture The Castle."

I like it - it seems to tick all my boxes. Not too trendy or "of-the-moment," classic and timeless, pretty and feminine, Cassie is lovely on a little girl or a teenager and Cassandra is elegant and sophisticated on an adult.

I think it's a beautiful name, but I'm just looking for some second opinions. What do you think of when you hear this name? Do you know anyone with this name?

Last name is Sinclair. Does it go?

My grandmother was a Cassie and I've always loved it. In her case it was a NN for Catherine but I think Cassandra is even nicer.

I like Cassie. It's lovely as a nickname.
I'm not as keen on Cassandra though, sorry. I can see that it is a nice name and it wouldn't be too popular which is defiantly a good thing. It just makes me think of only fools and horses though, which puts me off slightly.

I like it and would possibly have used it for another dd. My dc would associate it with Doctor Who though.

What about Cassia?

I'm a Cassie and at 31 years old I love it.

It's lovely. Go for it.

I really like it. The Cassie I know has Catherine as a full name

I really like it - a classic.

Nice.

Cassandra is lovely and underused

Cassie is a a lovely name (short for Cassette? ), and I like Cassia too.

I love the name Cassie.

I prefer Cassia or Catherine to Cassandra though.

I've read I Capture The Castle several times but Cassandra of Only Fools and Horses fame kind of ruined that particular name for me!

I like it. It's not overly used but it's a very sweet name.
My best friend at school was called Cassie and it suited her, she was a lovely girl and now a lovely adult

I love Cassie

I love Cassiopeia too though

I really like Cassie. Cassandra is OK.
I capture the castle is a nice reason to choose a name too. :)
