Cassia or Maya for a girl?

[mumofgirls35]

Hi all, interested to hear your thoughts. Baby due in three days so the clock is ticking...

I prefer Cassie.

Cassia imo isn’t as nice as Cassie. I think it will likely be shortened to Cass which is nice.

Maya is nice but I am drawn more to Cassia/Cassia.

Does one flow nicer with the surname?

Congratulations x

As you k on not have two names to choose from I would have the baby born and then decide.

Gosh too many spelling mistakes sorry. Wanted to say as you only have two names to choose from I would wait until the baby is born.

I really like Cassia and it is less common- I'm a teacher and we have loads of Maya/Mia

Cassandra - Cassie for short
Not keen on Cassia , it sounds a bit harsh

Would Cassia be pronounced cash a or cass ee ah?

Thanks so much for your responses - it would be pronounced Cass ee ah and Cassie for short

I think I prefer Maya

Cassie.
Cassia, isn't that a make of calculator?

That's cassio but yeah it's similar enough that it could pose a problem in secondary school.

That said I like Cassiopeia as a potential girls name.

Cassia because there are Maya/Maia/Myas everywhere.

Love Cassia. It's a type of cinnamon tree. Maya nice too but way more of them.

Love Cassandra or Cassia

I love Maya - it’s popular for a reason and I don’t think it’s so overused to be likely to have more than one in a class.

I personally find Cassia a bit fussy as a full name but like Cassie as a nn.

Not keen on either but Cassie is great.
Maya seems too much like Mia, Maya, May, Mabel, Maeve etc. When the names stop being popular they will seem dated.

The calculator was Casio.
I'd say Cassia as Cass-ya and Maya as May-a unless corrected.

Mners and their nicknames 😂

Cassie short for Cassia 🤦‍♀️. Just call her Cassie FFS. It's beautiful and far nicer than Cassia.

I agree @HJ40 .

Definitively Cassia. I think it’s beautiful.

Maya is lovely too but when you combine it with all the Mia’s, Mila’s, Mina’s etc it’s definitely the name that I hear the most. I also know 4 Maya’s spelt this way, two are pronounced May a and two My a. So it always confuses me which pronunciation I need to use for each child!

Cassia is much more individual and not following a trend so much.

Out of the two I prefer Cassia, but prefer Cassie to either. Cassandra is also nice, could have Cassie as a nickname.

Cassia is beautiful and unusual definitely go for Cassia, don’t use Cassie though

Maya is so dull and you will be giving your child a lifetime of correcting spelling and pronunciation.

Cassia is lovely

I like Maya

Cassia is less common if that's a factor for you

Cassia is great. Cassie is a bit nondescript.
