Yet again another thread, sorry!
So, with the help of mumsnet, we've finally decided on the name Cassia (Cassie) for our baby girl. It has clicked!

But we need a unique flowy middle name. The following names are not permitted (so basic!)

  • Rose
  • Grace
  • Louise
  • Jane
  • Hope
  • Faith
  • Mae
  • Claire
DD1 is Ivy Sage DS2 is Tommy Jax DS3 is Brodie Grayson

DH has come up with Cassia Fleur but I am not a fan - sounds to much like 'bleurgh'
I am considering:
Cassia Ariel - too much of a mouthful? I think I prefer 1 syllable names with Cassia?
Cassia Jade - fits well I think but is it too similar to Ivy Sage?
Cassia Paige - again rhymes with Sage?
Cassia Sky
Cassia Wren (pronounce "ren")
My sister has suggested Cassia Iris but whilst I don't hate it it seems like an old lady's name.

Give me your thoughts, any other suggestions are welcome of course!

Oh I'm so glad you went with Cassia! Fab name.

Cassia Wren is fantastic. My favourite there by far. Love it.

ShirleyPhallus · 04/07/2019 14:05

Cassia Wren is best up there

letsrunfar · 04/07/2019 14:05

Why does it need to flow?

Haworthia · 04/07/2019 14:07

Not Rose, Grace or Mae/May.

Most girls born in the 80s have Ann, Jane, Louise (and, at a push, Elizabeth) as a middle name. Rose, Grace and Mae are the modern equivalents Grin

@Fatkins

I'd never even thought of the name before someone suggested on here!

Ah Mumsnet at its best op! So useful for baby names.

@letsrunfar
My name is Ellianna Lara and it's such a mouthful!

my Nan's name was Cass, should have called one of my DD Cassie Wren I love it!

MyBootsAreMuddy · 04/07/2019 16:12

Cassia Wren is beautiful

Owlbert · 04/07/2019 16:48

I think we have similar tastes in names! My eldest as I mentioned on your other thread is Cassia and my youngest's middle name is Wren! Love the combo together!

Notanargosfan · 04/07/2019 16:55

Why do you need a middle name? Geniounly curious not today as I always thought middle names were to commemorate loved ones or have some family meaning. Absolutely beautiful name though.

Notanargosfan · 04/07/2019 16:56

*goady not today!

letsrunfar · 04/07/2019 17:58

Oh so you're planning on using both names as a Christian name rather than a separate Christian and middle name.

My ds has a long Christian name and two middle names, but we only ever call him by first name so it's irrelevant really.

elliandher5 · 04/07/2019 18:28

@Owlbert

I think I have decided on Cassia Wren to be honest! Seems like we both have great taste in names Wink

My vote is Cassia Wren too although I quite like the idea that your two daughters would have shades of green as middle names if you went with Jade. It gives a theme without being too matchy matchy

elliandher5 · 04/07/2019 18:31

@Notanargosfan

In my family we don't really use meaningful middle names Blush
I don't think there is much point, it's just nice to have a second name that compliments imo.

Cassia Sky is stunning ☺️

Owlbert · 04/07/2019 19:44

We certainly do-A fabulous choice! Grin
