Opinions on Cassia?

Cassia Raye is what we are thinking.
We already have a Xander and a Gia. This is our final baby!

Love it!

AmateurNoun · 20/04/2025 14:20

Unusual but spellable. I like it a lot!

Moreteaandchocolate · 20/04/2025 14:26

Lovely!

JayeAshe · 20/04/2025 14:27

Cassia is a spice similar to cinnamon but cheaper and inferior.

Emanwenym · 20/04/2025 14:27

I don't like it, but I love Cassie.

SkaneTos · 20/04/2025 21:14

I think Cassia is a cool and unusual name, and it sounds nice together with Xander and Gia.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 20/04/2025 21:42

I like it, and the obvious nickname of Cass would suit a person from babyhood to adulthood!

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 20/04/2025 21:43

Love it.

And I like Cassie for short

Lyannaa · 20/04/2025 21:43

I think it’s a lovely name.

pearbottomjeans · 20/04/2025 21:45

Really pretty. But, cassie-ah, or cash-a? People should only need to be told once though so not a big deal.

Sherararara · 20/04/2025 21:45

They make good watches. And calculators.

Calliopespa · 20/04/2025 21:46

It’s nice but just make sure you are relaxed about the George Ezra associations.

YourWinter · 20/04/2025 21:49

Awful. As a PP mentioned, cassia is a cheap inferior version of cinnamon.

I don't like Raye or Rae. Fay is nice.

MumQ8 · 21/04/2025 13:17

Sounds like a lovely name, and Cas is a perfect nickname.

It's a prettyish name, not the nicest I've heard. But yes, it's a cheap, less fragrant version of cinnamon. I don't like Raye.

wonderingwhatsnext · 21/04/2025 14:28

Cassia is a lovely name

LilyJosephine · 21/04/2025 22:36

Cassia is lovely and works well with her siblings names. I assume you like Cass/Cassie too though as it’s probably more likely to be shortened than Gia or perhaps even Xander.

Less keen on Raye (especially that spelling, Rae does look nicer), but then I prefer more classic names - I’d go for something like Blythe, Hope or Eve if I wanted a single syllable middle name.

ETA: For all those mentioning cinnamon, it’s also an Ancient Roman name - the feminine of Cassius , so equivalent to names like Julia, Claudia, Antonia etc.

That is exactly
what came to my mind first too.

BitterTits · 21/04/2025 22:41

Yep, I'm getting cheap cinnamon too!
