Cassius or Cassiel? Middle names? HELP

24 replies

I like both names for my boy, Cassius (cass-ee-us) and Cassiel (cas-see-el) but not sure which one I like better. Last name is Dejesus (day-hay-zoos). Help us decide which one is better and help with cool middle names that sound good with first and last and as well. I am definitely stuck on middle name for Cassius that sounds good. Help me out!! 😊

I think Cassiel works better with your surname, otherwise the first and last ending is the "s" sound is tricky.

Middle name Antonio?
Cassiel Antonio Dejesus

Cassiel works better with your surname. I would avoid a middle name starting with A, O or U, because then you get initialisms like CAD, COD, CUD, which aren’t great.

Does Cassiel sound a bit feminine at all to you?

Well "Cassius" was the original first name of a very well-known boxer. So it depends on what your intention is.....

If you Google the name all the people who come up are male...

Yes. His was pronounced Cash-us. There are 2 correct pronunciations to this name. Cass-ee-us, which would be our sons name, and Cash-us.

I prefer Cassius but Cassius Dejesus is really too many Ss. Cassiel is fine, but if you're not settled on it so you like Caspian?

I really like the nn Cas for a boy, but not really a fan of the other "cas" names. I'm about to just name him Cassie or Casee lol naming a boy is way to hard Hmm we also like different, Cassius or cassiel is never heard around our area.

Cassius is an amazing name and sounds fine with your surname. I think it's much stronger and cooler than Cassiel. I don't like Cassiel much. I love Cassius, Cassian, and Casper, but not Cassiel. Cassian Uziah Dejesus is SO cool!

How are you pronouncing Cassian? Cass-ee-an or Cash-an? I do not like the Cash version of either Cassian or Cassius.

Love Cassian, so cool. I also like Castiel even though it’s not on your list.

Cassius Anthony. Cassius isa great name

My fiancé wanted Castiel, but I looked to much into it and every says it's a bad idea because it's tied to the popular show Supernatural. So I said Cassiel, which is the real name to Castiel.

I would prounounce Cassiun Cass-ee-un

I prefer this with your surname. Cassius is too many S sounds a d agree Cassiel does sound more feminine

I think a short middle name like Joel, Juan, Raul or Noah could work

kayport87 · 27/09/2021 14:56

I am also now considering Cassian (cass-ee-in), middle name to go with last name Dejesus (day-hay-zoos)???

Some middle names I saw online were

Cassian Theodore Dejesus
Cassian Gray Dejesus
Cassian Anthony Dejesus
Cassian Lane Dejesus

Any of those??
