Cassandra or Serena

Cassandra?
Serena?

Which one is nicer and why?
After a very long time picking a perfect name and settling on Cecilia, baby really doesn't look like Cecilia !
Husband prefers Cassandra, I think I like Serena better.

Cecilia, Celia, Cecily.

Cassandra was doomed to make prophesies that no one could listen to and Serena is too Handmaids Tale.

Just reminds me of only fools and horses.. and very old fashioned.. no I’m a good way

I think they're both lovely. Very slight preference for Serena, I think.

Cecilia. CC while she’s little?

I prefer Cassandra, it's pretty and elegant.

I like them both. I probably slightly prefer Serena in it's own right but I like the Cass, Cassie and Cassia shortening options of Cassandra so Cassandra would probably be my choice.

Both beautiful. I love Serena, but I vote Cassandra as it lends itself to Cassie or Sandy or Caz.

I’m afraid when I read Cassandra I hear it in Rodney’s whiny voice! Out of the two, I say Serena.

Serena.

i prefer Cecilia

how about Celia?

Cecelia is lovely!

Everything connected with the HT gives me the shudders. Always hear him saying ‘Serena’ before he beat her. But it will be a passing reference, I guess.

Casdandra will be pronounced very differently in the North and South. Much too Fools and Horses for me.

Babies have to grow into their names - you will always regret not going with Cecilia, this is your hormones speaking

A cassandra here but I go by cassie. Never liked my name growing up! But now it's nice to have a name not many others have now. I'm early 30's for context. What about Cassidy?

And yes. My parents did get my name from only fools and horses 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you everyone. We decided to go with Cecilia after all. If we went with what baby looks like for now it would have to be Piglet . I still like Serena a lot, but with middle name Joyce it's just a bit too close to Serena Joy as in the Handmaid's Tale.

Cassandra defiantly. Cass / Cassie I love. Was going to name my son Cassius as I love Cass but husband wouldn't agree!

Well worth sticking to the name you love

When DS was born, I kept thinking he looked like a 'Robert'. I have no idea why. I don't particularly like the name, and I had a relative of that name that I was not particularly fond of .

I am glad we stuck with the name we liked. I expect he is too.

It’s beautiful

oh good, welcome baby Cecelia and congratulations

I really like Serena.

To me Cassandra is from OFAH or a classical figure and I am not keen.

Sorry missed update. Cecilia very very good!

(CeCe nice nickname, but not Cila!)

I like them both.

Hate Cecilia tho!

So sorry, just seen your update! Teach me to rttt *hangs head in shame

I'm sure Cecilia will be beautiful for your baby

Serena is absolutely gorgeous.
