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

I know a Kassius at my sons school, the other kids call him Cass

MajesticWhine · 12/02/2023 15:44

I prefer Rocco, but you sound like you've decided

Cassius for sure. To many dogs named Rocco

BCBird · 12/02/2023 15:59

Neither. Sorry

TakeNoTweetsGiveNoQuacks · 12/02/2023 16:00

I love Cassius

Changemaname1 · 12/02/2023 16:02

Congrats op !

Cassius gets my vote it’s an awesome name !

SirChenjins · 12/02/2023 16:03

I really like Cassius - although the shortened versions of Cass and Cassie are v feminine so that may be something to consider.

I don’t like Rocco at all.

Kate8990 · 12/02/2023 16:10

What about Caden? Sorry I don't like either Cassius or Rocco but I'm in the minority. Go with your gut.

The problem with having a "cool" name is that it's not going to be forever.

Luredbyapomegranate · 12/02/2023 16:11

Cassius - v nice

really don’t like Rocco

TakeNoTweetsGiveNoQuacks · 12/02/2023 16:13

Caden?! No, don't do that.

If you did want an alternative, I love Caspian and Casper.

@TakeNoTweetsGiveNoQuacks We all have our preferences. I respect everyone elses.

CiderJolly · 12/02/2023 16:14

Cassius is lovely

MyOldFriendTime · 12/02/2023 16:14

Cassius is lovely, I also prefer it with a K.
Rocco gives me Mrs Hinch vibes 😬

So true!

I respect your preference too 😊

If you like Rocco who cares what randoms on Mumsnet think? It's a perfectly fine name. Half of the names praised on here are dreadful to me, but that's just personal taste, like anyone else's opinion.
I have a Rocco. The name has family connections for us which but I would've been happy to use it regardless.

Flip a coin, see how you feel at the outcome

TakeNoTweetsGiveNoQuacks · 12/02/2023 16:24

Although I prefer Cassius, I know a little Rocco and there are no negative comments or associations with it afaik. So if that is your clear preference, I'd go for that

Kate8990 · 12/02/2023 16:25

Clark is lovely but I know it's not everyone. I just have an obsession with Clark Kent 🤣

Kate8990 · 12/02/2023 16:26

Not for everyone*

OldTrot · 12/02/2023 16:30

Cassius if you must as it's a perfectly fine name

Rocco is absolutely dreadful - conjures up some real mental images that I shan't share as they're very judgemental Grin but I will say it puts me in mind of a little shaven headed boy with an earring mainly

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 12/02/2023 16:30

No on Rocco.

Cassius, nickname Cash.

Leadfromtheheart · 12/02/2023 16:31

Yeah
You are all right lots of good points thankyou
I think I'll spend one day calling him cassius and the next day rocco
If that fails I'll flip a coin 😀
