Hi so I thought I'd picked my little boys name was all set for Cassius but now I'm leaning towards Cassian, I think I'm over thinking 🤣
Which do you prefer please?
Cassius or Cassian ?
Yes I know I've had all the Clay jokes x

Much prefer Cassian

Nothing to do with Ali, I just like it better.

I prefer Cassian too, as Cassius is too linked to Clay for me personally.

Friends were torn between these names (and Caspar and Caspian) for their son and in the end went for Cass as a full name.

Thanks for your replies I think Cassian has got the edge but yeah I think Cass is great would probably use that as a nn x

I much prefer Cassian, although they are both lovely. I also really like Caspian.

I’m not sure why but Cassian sounds classier to me. Also some people pronounce Cassius as Cash -us

I know both a Cassius and a Cassian and I prefer Cassian, personally.

Love Cassian due to Star Wars, cool name.

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 07/11/2022 16:22

Ooh, both great names (though I dislike Caspar and Caspian) but I think Cassian edges it for me.

I prefer Cassius

user1492757084 · 01/03/2023 23:31

I prefer Cassius. I love the nn Cass.

I like Caspian more than Cassian
Is Cassian pronounce Cashan or Cass-ee-un?

Dillydallydilly · 01/03/2023 23:51

did Cassian as a name exist before Star Wars?

Junebughustle · 01/03/2023 23:54

I prefer Cassius. It sounds more classic. Cassian makes me think of hessian.

holierthanthou73 · 02/03/2023 00:15

Cassius 100%

CallieQ · 02/03/2023 01:15

Neither

1980sfookup · 02/03/2023 01:28

Both awful. But that's just my opinion

NewBabyonboard · 02/03/2023 03:16

Cassius
