I love Tareyon. I haven't heard it before but I like the sound of it.

bbqdilemma · 01/06/2020 10:17

I like Cassius and Isaiah. My fave name at the moment is Hugo, what about Elijah?

newmum332 · 01/06/2020 10:21

I really like Cassius out of your list.
Ishiah is quite common I’ve heard that a lot.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 01/06/2020 10:24

Cassius, wasn’t there a boxer called that?

bellinisurge · 01/06/2020 10:24

Cassius is the easiest to pronounce. And the first name of an Olympic hero - although he changed it later (his choice, obviously).

ibuiltahomeforyou · 01/06/2020 10:29

Cassius is stronger as it won't be mispronounced unlike the other two which could be pronounced in different ways.

Singerleon · 01/06/2020 10:33

Cassius sounds great!

CatherineOfAragonsPomegranate · 01/06/2020 10:49

Cassius for sure.

Mish85 · 01/06/2020 10:51

Tareyon sounds the strongest I think, very cool name..

pinkpinecone · 01/06/2020 11:18

Cassius is great

Talcott2007 · 01/06/2020 11:25

Cassius is my favorite = easy to pronounce and nice sound to it.
Tareyon - never heard of if before and therefore but gives also sorts of Game of Thrones/ trying to be 'You-Neek' Vibes. Wouldn't know immediately how to pronounce it.
Ishiah - Recognise the name and would assume it's your most 'common/popular' out of the 3 option but again wouldn't immediately how to pronounce it.

Cassius is nice

megrichardson · 01/06/2020 11:28

Isaiah always reminds me of that stupid joke:
'why is he called Isaiah?

  • because one eye's higher than the other'
Egora · 01/06/2020 11:29

I lobe Cassius, very strong sounding name.

Isiah is nice too but you'll have spelling issues.

Orphlids · 01/06/2020 11:33

Cassius is the best. Unusual, but established. Good Roman name, strong associations.

Tareyon - I wouldn’t know how to pronounce it. There are so many possibilities: Tarry-on, Ta-ray-on, Tair-yon... I think some people might make negative assumptions, I’m afraid, because it sounds as though you’ve just made it up.

Isaiah has a nice sound, but it’s not as manly as Cassius.

YouAndMeAndTheDevilMakesThree · 01/06/2020 11:34

Cassius

PetraRabbit · 01/06/2020 11:46

Cassius. Good strong Roman name. Very nice! The others sound a bit made up.

IVflytrap · 01/06/2020 12:23

Cassius is the strongest sounding. It's unusual while still being recognisable.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

Cassius, wasn’t there a boxer called that?
Cassius Clay was the birth name of Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in history, and an iconic global celebrity in the 1970s. He changed his name when he converted to Islam.
seriousandloyal · 01/06/2020 12:31

Prefer Cassius

PerditaProvokesEnmity · 01/06/2020 12:34

It's not the sound of a name that brings strength but its associations.

If you're wanting something that might be helpful on a CV think about who has life easy in your locality. In the U.K.

Charles/Charlie
William
George
Louis

might be good bets. (Though who can see into the future?) Maybe avoid

Boris
Dominic ...

JustAnotherMumTho · 01/06/2020 12:41

Cassius

villamariavintrapp · 01/06/2020 12:53

Cassius. But I don't like made up names. Is tareyon pronounced like carry on? But with a t. And ishiah like ishy-a?

Charlieandthechocolatecake · 01/06/2020 12:54

My little brother is called Cassius. He is genuinely one of the nicest boys I know.

Miriel · 01/06/2020 12:56

Cassius sounds best.
