Molly, Daisy or Cassie?

[brightwave]

Which one and why? Also should Cassie or Cassandra be on the bc?

Agreed @GreyhoundG1rl - I don't think it matters at all, there are lots of names in popular use that are also flower/plant/herb names. It just seems a shame to denigrate a name just for that reason (rather than just saying you don't like it, which is absolutely fair enough!). I don't know anyone named Cassia personally, so have no "skin in the game" as it were - but I would hate anyone reading the thread to be put off a name because of one post, so wanted to explain the Cassia has other well known associations too!

Or were you talking about the dogs name thing? Most dogs around me seem to have popular kids names too - Alfie, Archie, Max, Tilly, Belle, etc. I do know one dog Cassie and one Molly but it wouldn't put me off for that reason.

No, the cinnamon thing 😂. No idea what the "but it means cinnamon!" shite was about. It's not the worst thing imaginable.

Nothing is obvious in language. Etymologies are often ingenious rather than correct (see POSH) Plus Boris is an imbecile.

Cassia or Cassiana could potentially be feminine of Cassius, it wouldn’t be incorrect. I’m just saying I’ve never seen an instance of it in Latin texts.

Generally Cassia in Latin corresponds to cinnamon.

Molly or Daisy! Cassie is too common and ordinary.

Cassie (or Casia) as I really like that name. Cassanda on the birth certiicate.

I don't like Molly - no good reason; it just sounds meh to me.
I do like Daisy. I know people say it's twee but I don't see that - I think it's a strong name.
I do love Cassie though as a nickname for Cassia (I know a few Cassias but I don't think it's very common). I don't like Cassandra personally.

I like Molly and Cassie, not keen on Daisy. I actually like Cassie as a nn for Cassidy but I know it's not a popular option

Cassie, with a longer name on BC.
Molly reminds me of an attentive dog and Daisy is a cow imo. I have very strong name associations 😂

I love Molly.
Cassie is also lovely but I'm not sure about Cassandra or Cassia.
Daisy is cute but I can't imagine being called Daisy as I am now or back when I was a grungy teenager.

I know a lot of Cassandra/cassie names my age but hardly any young ones so would go for that

I love them all but I'd go for Cassie!

Cassie
Molly
Daisy

In that order. I think Cassie works well on it's own or as as a nickname with Cassia or Cassandra on the BC.

You could also have Daisy with Margaret or Marguerite on the BC.

I'm bias I have a Cassie, thats on her birth certificate. She's never met another one, she's 6. We were going to go for casandra but we knew we'd call her cassie anyway. Not that it makes much difference and most of her school friends shorten it to Cas anyway. All lovely names though.

Cassie - the others are a bit cutesy and don't transfer well into adulthood. I love cassandra (although only fools and horses springs to mind when I hear it!) and Cass would also be a good shortening.

I love Cassandra, with Cassie for short. Molly and Daisy a bit meh in comparison imo.

Cassie short for Cassandra

It’s more unusual and I think it’s prettier

I'm Cassandra nn Cass or Cassie. Growing up I was always Cassie and people tend to just shorten names anyway. Now I introduce myself as Cass but people still say Cassie too. I used to dislike my name but now I really like that it has options.

In saying that. I love Molly!

Cassandra nn Cassie

It would all depend on surname, siblings names and middle name,

Molly and Daisy are too babyish for me for a teen/grown woman. I prefer Milly (full name Amelia) or Cassie (def Cassandra)

Cassia!
My daughter is called Cassia so I may be biased. 😁

They’re all nice. Molly and Daisy are a bit more popular in my experience, so if you wanted something more unusual I would say go with Cassie/Cassandra. I can’t help myself pronouncing Cassandra like Rodney does though! My personal favourite is probably Daisy.

I also think Daisy and Molly will transfer fine into adulthood given that they’re so popular. In the future they won’t be unusual names for an adult at all.
