Cassie - yay or nay?

[ceebee74]

I have fallen in love with it as it is different (I don't know any Cassie's at all) but pretty.

What do you think?

I know a 2 yar old called Cassie and i think it is really nice - a bit different without making people go "eh?"

my dd is called cassie. we fell in love with it too.

I like Cassie...v nice...sweet and yet works for an adult too

I know a cassie, short for cassandra, lovely girl, lovely name. it is different withouht being odd IFYSWIM

go for it, if you have a girl, obviously !

Neighbour's dog is a Cassie but she's very friendly

lmao@dog comments..

Its a surname. I went to school with boys whose second name was Cassie, so I can't get my head round it as a first name sorry.
I do think though if you go for it to name the child officially as Cassandra then she can have a choice later on if the Cassie bit seems little girl-ish.
Just had a thought that I hope her future husband isn't related to those boys Mrs Cassie Cassie

I really like it but don't like Cassandra at all.

Cassandra doesn't do much for me but I really like Cassie. It's a very cute name for a little girl but i can see it working for an adult as well

Thumbs up from me. I know a Cassandra who shortens to Cass now that she's an adult - great name

My friend's daughter is Cassie. Lovely xxx

Thanks for the comments - I will ignore the 'dog' comments

Am thinking of just going straight for Cassie as I am not that keen on Cassandra (weird I know).

Dh says he likes it too which is unusual as he usually hates everything I suggest.

Right, just need to decide on a boys name now...........

Sorry ceebee74 what you call your daughter is totally up to you. I liked Lucy when I had my daughter but didn't call her that because of another neighbour's dog and wish I had.

Like it but makes me think of Lassie....

I think its a beautiful name, but the only thing that matters is if you like it

If you don't like Cassandra then don't use it. We did the same with dd2 as in we didn't like the formal version of the name so therefore we didn't use it. We compromised by giving dd a formal more traditional middle name.

Good luck

Bluenose - did you actually register your DD with the shortened version?

Am thinking of definitely doing that as MIL insists on calling DS by his full name even though we never ever use it - at least by registering the shortened version, that will stop her doing that.

Yes, we registered her with the shortened version. We really really didn't like any longer, more formal versions so didn't bother with them.

We love her name and were never going to call her anything else, although it was always at the back of my mind that maybe she would need a more formal name at some point. Our compromise was to give her a formal, traditional middle name (Elizabeth) so that she could use that if she ever wanted or felt she needed to

I love it.

Absolutely love it!!

another MN has a dd called Cassie but it's short for Catherine

like it but don't like cassandra

don't think you need the long version though if you're only ever going to use short one.

if you call her cassie that's who she'll be and i doubt she would lengthen it. there's always deed pole if ashe really didn't like it

I went top school with a Cassie and she was lovley. Her real name was Catherine though.

Cassandra reminds me too much of Only fools and horses.
