Cassiopeia

[PhelanGood]

We aren't finding out the sex of our baby. Pretty settled on Orion for a boy but my other favourite constellation is Cassiopeia, she has always been there for me in the night sky when I needed her. Would this just be too flouncy a name if our baby were a girl?

Also how would you pronounce it? You tube says 'Cass yer pee ya' but I always thought it was 'Cassie-oh-pee-ya'. The former would lead to teasing so wouldn't go there!

Oh god not so romantic, what a shame. I love the name Medea but wouldn't choose it for similar reasons! I think I'll stick to revering her in the sky!

So pleased you’ve talked yourself out of this name.

Hahaha you just want it for yourself biatch 😉 see ya wouldn't wanna peia!

always been there for me in the night sky when I needed her

What does this even mean? Aren't all constellations always out there somewhere? Stars don't go anywhere.

I think its too much for anyone for s first name, but It obviously means a lot to you, so I think it'd be A shame not to use it,so I'd use it as a mn

If you are specifically looking for a constellation what about Lyra or Carina?

Both lovely, easy to spell and pronounce.

Diego are you always so literal and cold?

Clearly Phelan takes comfort from gazing at the stars, nothing wrong with that. I often give Orion a little wave myself.

How about Cassie no idea what it means?

Lyra and Carina are very beautiful but I'm not specifically looking for a constellation name. I already have another name lined up :) i
I used to go for walks to escape my hellish home when a teenager and stare at the sky! I called her my w boson (didn't know the real name) and used to wander round wondering about wave particle duality and the shape of the universe. Geeky freaky nerdgirl

Aww BenLui glad I'm not alone!

Glad you have another name OP, it’s good to have options and take time making sure they are a good fit.

I know a Cassie hope who is known as Cassiopoeia as a family joke.

My favourite name is Phaedra but it has a equally awful story to go with it so I couldn't ever burden a child with it. So for that reason I'd say no. But its personal to you and is beautiful.

What about Lyra or Carina

Ooops! Sorry. Did not RTFT!!

It's awful OP. Sounds like some kind of medical condition.

Not keen. What about Lucia (or something sky/light/sun related)?

Or just Cassie, with you knowing privately in your family that you named her after the constellation?

It's a lovely sentiment after all, and Cassie the shortening is lovely.

It would be a bugger to have to spell out repeatedly.

What about Artemis or Demeter?

I went to school with a Cassiopeia. She actually pronounced it Cassee-oh-pay-ah.
Beautiful name. We did often call her Cassie too!

More not so try hard solar systemy names
Aurora.
Luna
Neptune
Celeste
Saturn

I LOVE Cassiopeia. I’m a big fan of Ni No Kuni and a character is called Cassiopeia. They pronounced it Cass-ee-oh-pee-ah

Lummy. Why don't you have a little think and see if you can dredge something up from the depths of your imagination.
