Cassandra

[Baffledma]

Is it too similar if I call my daughter Cassandra when I have one Alexandra ?

if I name*

I guess it depends whether you're likely to use their full names - in which case possibly a bit too similar) - or Cassie and Alex/Lexi - which sounds very different.

Yes if you plan to use full names, no if you will call them Alex and Cass/ Cassie

I think quite similar and people might query whether you've purposefully chosen an "andra" theme

The full versions are quite similar, but as pp mentioned - if you regularly use a nn for one of them (Alex/Lexi, Cass/Cassie) then it's fine imo.

I love Cassandra btw -I think it's underused now. But if you are really concerned about the soundalike with Alexandra, you might like the pretty Roman/Nature name Cassia instead?

I wanted to use the full names 😭

too similar for me

Ooh I love it.

There's a strong chance she will shorten it to Cassie when she is older even if you use the full names. I love the name Cassie and haven't heard it for ages.

If you love it go for it. The worst that will happen is people will think oh their mum likes names that end in andra.

I like it but not with Alexandra.

Only fools and horses !!

I think Cassandra sounds lovely and can be shortened to Cass/Cassie/Sandy/Sandra. Calling out Alexandra and Cassandra together can sound too cumbersome so you might end shortening their names yourself

Ah sorry OP. It does sound a bit samey and I think you might end up getting them muddled when you speak to them.
My daughter is Clementine and we thought about naming her sister Camilla as we loved Cam as a nick name. But just talking about it we were getting muddled and ended up saying Clam and Cem 🤦‍♀️
But the nick names Cassie and Alex or Lexi sound different enough.
They do sound lovely together though OP it just might be a bit of a tongue twister!

It is really.

And I think it will piss them off.

Too samey I think

I really don't think you'll be successful in using these two names as full names through their lives. Well you might well, but as soon as the children at school it's very likely both will be shortened

I think it’s fine! Both lovely names.

As long as you're not considering Rodney for your third....

I like them but do agree that they present a bit of a tongue twister when said together in the full form.

Maybe Cassia instead? Not too similar.

Only fools and horses is my first thought

If you plan to use full names, rather than nicknames, it's a bit twee when teamed with her sister.

Too similar.
Cassandra also is very 80s and not to my taste.
