Cassidy?

[user1490100454]

opinions on this name please, I heard it and I cant decide if I love it or is it too weird?

also initially would you think its a name for a boy or a girl?

Hmm I can't decide either. Makes me think 70's America for some reason! And I think I would assume girl.

My immediate response is Cassidy Yates from Star Trek Deep Space 9. I like it

It's an Irish surname. But if I heard of it as a first name I'd assume it was a girl.

...and the Sundance Kid?

My Daughter is 9 and called Cassidy we love it and we get compliments on her name saying it's lovely some do shorten it to Cassie tho

I love it, but I think it is a bit marmitey.
The only real life Cassidy's I've known are both Australian - maybe it's more popular over there

It reminds me of The Middle and Axl's song Oh Cassidy when he sets the trellis on fire I like it

I like the sound of it, and the shortening of Cass, but there's something about the actual name (maybe its written-form) that I don't love. But I don't matter - so if you love it, do it.

Oh and I'd presume girl.

I know a Cassidy, she's a girl, I wouldn't have thought it as a boy's name ever.

Nah. It's reminds of the dreadful Riley and McKenzie type names.

Nah. It's reminds of the dreadful Riley and McKenzie type names

I thought that I would think this, but I don't. It's totally not my style at all, but there's something about it that I quite like.

It reminds me of Piper. Not my style, and I 'shouldn't' like it, but I do.

And yes, a girl's name.

I rather like it too for a girl and, of anything, I have very pretentious taste in names (or so I'm told by DP - he vetoed my dream of a dd called Araminta )

makes me think of 70s america yup Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid lol.
The name makes me think of cowboys, the southwest, and it's a blond name.
Girls name though, to me

Im a trek fan.

All I think of is Cassidy Yates from Deep Space Nine.

I know a Cassidy, male and about 30.

I prefer Cassandra or Cassia for a girl and Cassius, Casper or Caspian for a boy.

I have met one American female Cassidy. And although ordinarily I hate American surname names for girls, I actually like this one. It sounds great, and Cassie is lovely.

My first thought was eva cassidy.

If you like it go for it.

Awful.

In the vein of Sawyer.

Yet another Irish surname (Riley, McKenna, Murphy) that Americans have adopted as a first name and making its way over here as a trend. If you're Irish/to an Irish person it sounds stupid, the equivalent of calling someone Smith, Jones or Bloggs.

Why not call her Cassie? (Ie an actual girl's name)

Have you been watching Preacher OP?

I think I like it.

I like it and I think it is fine for a boy or a girl.
