I prefer Cassius

Viviennemary · 12/02/2023 12:02

Not over keen on Cassius but Rocco is dreadful.

Bubblebathpanda · 12/02/2023 12:03

I prefer Rocco!

Euchariahere · 12/02/2023 12:06

Love cassius was a name I considered in pregnancy
Hate rocco makes me think of Madonnas son

DuchessOfSausage · 12/02/2023 12:12

Cassius is much nicer than Rocco. Which one sounds best with the surname?

Newusernameaug · 12/02/2023 12:13

Thank you don't know if it's hormones or what I just want to get it right
I do really like Cassius and have for a long time but for some reason my confidence has gone

Hate the name Rocco as it's the same name as an extremely misogynistic porn star who is bound to end up in court someday (I don't advise you google his material as it's so disturbing but he was shown as coercive and abusive in a doc by Louis Theroux).

Cassius is okay.

Surname two syllabus it begins with an s worried about it being to many s sounds but it does flow together and rolls into the surname if u get what I mean despite it beginning with s

Cassius is MUCH cooler. I know one and it’s a great name.

AdaColeman · 12/02/2023 14:29

Cassius is a great name! Or how about Cornelius which has a similar vibe?

FadoFado · 12/02/2023 14:40

Cassius is a great name.

Rocco sounds like a character from Footballers' Wives.

FannyChmelar · 12/02/2023 14:42

Cassius is a lovely name 👍

Welfast · 12/02/2023 14:44

Cassius is great. The other name is good for a chihuahua

plumduck · 12/02/2023 15:24

If if helps Cassius is definitely uses by other people so it won't be "out there". Rocco not so much

mdh2020 · 12/02/2023 15:26

Neither - start again

Is it me or is there suddenly an influx of Roccos?

Twiglets1 · 12/02/2023 15:36

I like Kassius but prefer it spelt with a K

DramaAlpaca · 12/02/2023 15:37

Cassius for sure

Amdone123 · 12/02/2023 15:37

@chronictonic , no, it's not you !
@Leadfromtheheart , Cassius is lovely.

Mrsbunnychops · 12/02/2023 15:37

I've always thought Rocco a great name , what would Cassius be called for short? Cass Cassie? Not as keen!

Amdone123 · 12/02/2023 15:37

@chronictonic , no, it's not you !
@Leadfromtheheart , Cassius is lovely.
