Thoughts on Cassian Jack?

We're due a baby soon and have fallen in love with the name Cassian. We love the middle name Jack, but aren't sure if it goes. Please could I have your thoughts on Cassian Jack?

Sounds like he's Cotton Eye Joe's best pal.
Jack Cassian is fine however.

Viviennemary · 03/10/2025 19:50

It's dire. Cassian?? Jack is ok.

IfHeWantedToHeWould · 03/10/2025 19:54

Sounds like a pirate.

Slightyamusedandsilly · 03/10/2025 19:55

Meaning empty, hollow or curly haired.

Sounds like a pirate.

Exactly this I’m afraid.

Cassian Alexander ? Sounds classier

Peoplepleaserincrisis · 03/10/2025 19:57

My immediate thought IS Captain Jack and think of pirates. I do love the name Cassian though, not sure it sounds right with Jack.

CarlaLemarchant · 03/10/2025 19:59

Cass is pretty cool if you were going to shorten. Not that keen on Cassian in full. Jacks nice.

OldGothsFadeToGrey · 03/10/2025 19:59

Why’s all the rum gone!

sounds like a bad whiskey

LivingTheDreamish · 03/10/2025 20:02

Cassian is fab. I am also struggling with Cassian Jack and I think @SparklyCardigan has hit on the problem. How about:

Cassian Oliver
Cassian John

😂

No to first name Cassian.

lighteningthequeen · 03/10/2025 20:05

I can tell what books you read 😅

SabbatWheel · 03/10/2025 20:05

I like Cassian.
Not so keen on Jack.

Talipesmum · 03/10/2025 20:06

I think it’s great!

Luxio · 03/10/2025 20:07

Another here who's first thought was where has all the rum gone. If you like Cassian (not my cup of tea but it's not my baby) then I don't think you can use Jack as the middle name without most people thinking pirate.

K0OLA1D · 03/10/2025 20:07

My thoughts go immediately to ACOTAR

ThisRareOtter · 03/10/2025 20:10

Haha ok so if we stick with Cassian (nn Cass) then it sounds like we need to rethink the middle name!

No - I think you need to rethink the first name

FiloPasty · 03/10/2025 20:14

Rude, I think it’s a great name.
I agree with previous poster about something longer after Cassian like Alexander or Oliver

BlueberryLatte · 03/10/2025 20:15

I love the name Cassian, but would use John as his middle name. Agree it sounds like a pirate name with Jack and Jack traditionally is a nn for John anyway

zazazaaar · 03/10/2025 20:16

Cassian is a great name. Just not with Jack.

LooseCanyon · 03/10/2025 20:18

It doesn't matter what his middle name is OP, or if it "goes". Do people often refer to your middle name?

HugoYorway · 03/10/2025 20:18

I think with the middle name Jack, you need an occupation surname as a first name.
Hunter
Cooper
Carter
Grocer

OverlyFragrant · 03/10/2025 20:20

Sounds like Hassian Sack 🙄

shoopshoopdedoo · 03/10/2025 20:21

I normally think it’s fine if middle names don’t flow at all. But Cassian Jack is also giving me pirate vibes, so I wouldn’t do it!

Love the name Jack, don’t like Cassian. But agree with others that Cassian works well with a longer middle name like Alexander.
