I have been in love with the name Cassie since I was a little girl but never used it for DD1 as I wasn't sure of Cassandra and decided on Elizabeth instead (Bea for short), but when I found out I was having another girl it was another contender and would have been an easy pick if it wasn't for DD1 being called Effie by friends since she started her new school. Still love the name but don't want it to sound like an episode of skinsGrin. Any thoughts on what to do??

Seems fine to me. Do it.

Completely fine. Skins was ages ago (15 years??), and it's not like everyone knew all the characters anyway.

Yup seems fine to me, love Cassie, Cassandra, Cassia, Cassidy anything like that!

I didn’t make the skins connection and I used to be a massive skins fan. Even if I did I wouldn’t think anything of it. Go for it!

I think Skins is niche enough that it won’t be a problem. I really like Effie and Cassie.

Firebird83 · 29/08/2020 12:49

I think it’s fine!

I absolutely loved skins but I had to read your post a few times as I didn’t have a clue what the issue was! I vaguely remember now that there was a Cassie.

I reeeeally don’t like Cassandra or Cassie but I adore Cassiopeia and Cassia is lovely too.

I watched skins and can’t remember any of the character names either so I’d say go for it

user1493494961 · 29/08/2020 13:58

I've never heard of Skins.

Cassie is lovely but I really dislike Cassandra.

danascully96 · 30/08/2020 08:01

I like Cassia best of the "Cass" variations :)

Standrewsschool · 30/08/2020 08:03

Love Cassandra and Cassie. Wouldn’t make the Skins ciponnection,

BabloHoney · 30/08/2020 09:57

Cassie is a lovely name, I think it’s great just on its own!

EmilySpinach · 30/08/2020 10:02

I wouldn’t have made the connection. Lovely names! We only recently realised that both of our DDs have the names of recent(ish) Dr Who companions. I don’t think anyone has ever noticed.
