Opinions on the name Cassia?

[LouiseHalliwell]

She was the main character in a book I read as a child and I loved it. Now I am older I’m not sure if it’s too “fussy” for an actual child.
opinions?

Love it! And she can always go by Cassie if she likes when she’s older.

Makes me think of Casio, but I don’t dislike it. I prefer Cassandra or Cassie.

I like it.

Unusual but not so much so it wouldn’t be understood, easy to spell and pronounce.

Love it! DD had one in her class, I always thought it was pretty. It never occurred to me that it was fussy.

Cassia is the name of a spice similar to cinnamon. I’m on the fence when it comes to naming a child after it, but if you like the sound of it, it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks.

Cassia bark is good for the gut and lowers blood sugar.

From the Latin word cassus meaning “empty” or “vain,” as well as the name Cassĭus meaning “metal helmet.” While these meanings are interesting, its most common translation in Latin is “cinnamon.”

Keziah is the Hebrew for cassia, and it sounds better.

Hmm not the best connotations then! Although I guess cinnamon is quite cute

Cinnamon is a very nice meaning.
Sage, Clementine, Honey, Rosemary, Pepper are all fine (although may have non-food origins initially).
I like it!

I LOVE it. I think it's so beautiful in lots of languages and the perfect amount of uncommon.

Cassia was my top choice for DC3 if he was a girl - but he was a boy. I debated Cassius for him but it didn't suit our surname. I love Cassia and I've got a bit of regret that I'll never get to use it. It's so pretty.

Cassiopeia and Cassy for short.

Cassia is often sold as cinnamon.
They taste similar- difficult to tell the difference.
It is a lovely name.

Love it

I like it but I like Cassandra even more.

It says cinnamon to me. Not necessarily bad, but something to be aware of.
Think I'd go cassidy or cassandra with a nn of cass /cassie/ myself.

Automatically think of bark as in the spice, but I think I'm just odd.
Is it pronounced Cass--ee-uh or cash-uh? I can see both could be possible and have never known.
I think she'll be called Cass or Cassie , she r cash depending on the pronunciation generally so if you're ok with that go for it.

Like it written down but wouldn’t know whether to pronounce it Cassie-a or Cash-a. I prefer the former.

Like how some people pronounce Alicia Aleesha and others Alyss-ia.

I really like it

Go for it.

I grew up with one and was always envious of her name!

Love it - have never understood why it is so underused as it has dual references (both as a nature name and Ancient Roman) and a pleasant sound and cute nn in Cassie. What’s not to like?

I really like it, but I would hesitate as I had a lisp as a child and that name would have made things hard for me!
