Cassiora

[twab]

I met a girl on the beach when I was about 7 and we became best of friends for the day. We didn't speak the same language, she was greek. Her name was Cassiora. I never met her again.

I have looked it up and it's not a 'real' name but I love it. What are your thoughts?

I prefer Cassia personally- but I prefer shorter, simpler names.

Too fussy. Reminds me of Kia ora.

I really don't like it. Sounds like a medication!

Prefer Cassia also. Cassiopeia nn Cassia.

Calista is lovely also.

It’s a believable name so you’d get away with it. She’d probably end up being Cassie though so why not co with Cassia?
Cassia is a lovely name.

I don't love the sound (kind of starts decisively and fizzles out) but the story is lovely and it's fine as a name!

If I were you I might use it is a middle name for a girl in tribute to childhood innocence, happy memories, holidays, sunshine, friendship, all those lovely things

thanks for the feedback. There is a Cassie in the family so I was thinking nn Cory.

Cassia is much nicer, I’d use that

Cassiora is too like Kia ora, and Cory isn’t nice either (and is mostly an American boys name)

Cassia is okay but don't pick it based on the nickname Cory - she may hate it and go for something completely different.

Cora would be a nicer shortening if you did go for Cassiora, maybe? ( I personally prefer Cora as the full name though)

I do like Cora.
what about Cassieopie?

Err...no. That sounds like a type of cake.

Cassiopeia is fine just watch the spelling

Hmmm she might end up being called Cassio 🤷‍♀️

Cora is lovely.

Calliope?

Laura?

And, I'm not a fan personally but Leonora is another option?

Cassieopie will likely be shortened to Cassie though, which you wanted to avoid? I personally find it a bit long and tricky to spell, but just my opinion :)

Calliope?

This with lovely nn Callie

these are all lovely. I really like the 'ore' sound in Cassiora. My mother's name is Dora, which is just beautiful. Any ideas of similar Cassie/Callie names with that sound?

I wonder if you misheard or misremembered the name? It isn't terrible but it sounds like two names (maybe Rita Ora's little sister Cassie )

Oooh, I like it!

There again, I was going to name my imaginary daughter Ophelia Guinevere. Fortunately, I had two sons instead who have very traditional names!

Call her Dora. It's a beautiful name

I dont want her to have the same name as my mum

Callidora- Greek- meaning gift of beauty

I can’t think of any that include the Cassie / Callie part as well as the ora part, but here are some names with the “or” sound -

Cordelia
Dorelia (Dora for Short)
Leonora
Alora
Coralia
Aurora
Isadora
Flora
Orla
Aurelia
Elora
