Cassia, Mara or Juno?

This is our girl's name shortlist, baby sister of Leo. Please can you let me know your thoughts? We know of the film "Juno" (in fact we had four songs from the soundtrack at our wedding) and this doesn't really bother us.

We also love Vada from when we had our son (my girl inspired) but since then Star Wars seems to have had a resurgence via Disney so we've agreed to forget it which is a shame.

Thanks!

Love Juno but too matchy with Leo, equally love Cassia so would opt for that

Love Juno.

I don't like the other two, sorry

Why not June? Why the o?
Cassia sounds like a calculator brand.
You could always have Cara or Tara
Farrah, Laura, Sara or even Marjorie.

Thanks all.

Juno not June because we much prefer it. These are the three names we both like (there's lots of names we independently like but the other one doesn't).

I like Mara. It means 'sea' in Irish.

Juno is a bit 'manic pixie parents in 2010'. It's okay though.

Cassia is meh.

Tbh I'm feeling meh about all three now! I do still like them all, just not love. I want a name to slap me in the face and DH like it too. I hate picking baby names Grin

Cassia or Mara

Cassia is beautiful, I know one, and she is lovely!

I like Mara too, it means Sea in Gaelic

Don't like Juno at all

Vesper is similar to Vada. Also Kasia or Keziah are lovely.

Cassia is beautiful OP. Definitely under used and so pretty. Juno is not my kind of name and it doesn't work with Leo in my opinion. Mara is nice but plain I suppose.

Isn't Cassia pronounced Cash-ah though?

Or is that how you wanted it.
