Sibling for Cassiopeia

[BeBlueShaker]

Already have a Cassiopeia Pearl who goes by Cassie, what would you name her sibling? (we don't know the gender yet)

I'm currently loving the nickname Queenie but am looking for a more formal name, so far have Quinn and Juno (which means queen)

Other names we have been considering:

• Beauregard/Beaumont nickname Bowie
• Nicodemus nickname Nico
• Hugo
• Roman
• Kit (as a nickname)
• Eden
• Indigo
• Gwendolen nickname gwennie

Or kaiden-jai ? Or kobi-Daxx? They'd certainly go with the theme.

I reckon ops bum nipped up just reading them and she nearly closed her blinds in her persimmon built semi , in case the neighbours heard ! But of course, with her list of names , everyone will surely accept her children as firmly middle class ya know. Let's hope they don't mix with daizee-hunny and dexter-kaii!

Ps 'Nicodemus' how did you write that with a straight face ? It sounds like a skin disease!

Frank 😄

Beau on its own is probably the nicest option. Cassie and Beau sounds nice.

Calliope nickname Callie. Cassie and Callie

Andromeda goes with Cassiopeia

Calisto
Ganymede
Europa
Io

Quinn no. Sounds like quim. It’s grim.

Not Congratulations. Unless you are a fan of Cliff Richard.

Zenith
Titan
Mimas
Nebula

The Cassiopeia I know has siblings Daphne, Niobe, Euridice and Danae.
Personally I’d get away from any theme and think more multisyllabic, towards Angharad, Sheherazade, Evangelina, Perpetua. Though Ariadne would also be tempting.

Queenie sounds very chavvy IMO.
Kit makes me think of PE Kit.
but these names are really awful and I agree - they will hate them as adults

Sticking with the Greek theme, how about one of the Greek muses? Clio/Cleo and Thalia are the more regular girls' names but you could go with one of the others if you want your kid to have to explain their name every time they say it.

Some of these are more like appendages than names. Surely a child should be known for their personality, not the extreme nature of their name?

OP please consider that while it’s perfectly fine to give your kid an unusual name you don’t want them to hate it later on nor do you want people to make fun of them nor do you want employers thinking anything negative (sure they aren’t supposed to but it happens).

I think you should consider your choices again.

can’t decide if this whole thread is marvellous or toe curlingly awful…

I’m surprised people think the child would have a difficult life. The most my friend Cassiopeia has got is mild surprise when people realise what Cassie is short for. She’s done well at work and in life in general.

Queenie would work well as a nickname for Regina.
I also like Belinda and Dido.
.

For a boy maybe....
Arcturus
Oberon
Castor

Orion
Perseus
Andromeda

I think Persephone -nn Percy for a girl as Cassy and Percy go together well and she has the long formal name like her sister. Could be Persephone Anne - with the Anne being Queenie?

Why would Anne be Queenie?

Hermione

Imogen

Iolanthe

Queen Anne - same as others suggesting Victoria Elizabeth etc

I have never met a child in this neck of the woods with any of these names .

I thought it was just me 🤣

Imagine in a few years your little Isla coming to you and saying WHY didn’t you call me something cool like Queenie , Nicodemus or Beauregard like my friends at preschool !

Some of the names in this thread are NEVER gonna be on a water bottle in Skegness 😀

I can’t even! 🥹

Do you even like your children?? 🤯
