Sister name for Cassia?

32 replies

Latenighttalks · 20/12/2025 10:36

Hi :)

We have a two year old daughter named Cassia, we’re due a second daughter at the end of January and could do with some help!

We have some names in the running:

  • Gianna (Gia)
  • Nara
  • Elara

Do anybody have any name suggestions similar to Cassia that we may like?
All suggestions are appreciated:)

I love Cassia but not so keen on your other choices, I much prefer Giovanna to the diminutive Gianna - does the name have to end with an A?

If so what about Sophia, Anastasia, Cecelia, Thalia, Selena, Keira, Freya.

I like Elara best for Cassia's sister.

How about Elena? I think it matches your vibe and I prefer it to Elara.

Jessamine - an unusual botanical name like Cassia (it’s a variation of Jasmine). Jessie and Cassie would be very cute together.

Other ideas- maybe Gaia (Earth Goddess), Ianthe (Violet flower), Briony or Rosamund/Rosalind? Or Juliet or Verity fit in style imo even though they aren’t botanical/nature linked.

One Cassia I know has sisters called Isabella and Phoebe. The other Cassia has a sister called Maisie.

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 22/12/2025 12:15

I love Cassia !

Gianna is v nice, though I'm not mad about Gia. I don't like the other two, they both sound a bit made up, Elara is a bit Disney Princess and Nara like an acronym - it is in fact the US archives..

If you want another 'ah' ending

Estella
Allegra
Fernanda
Paloma
Philippa (Pippa)
Serena
Seraphina
Susannah
Rosanna
Dorothea (Dora)
Isadora
Zara
Lara

If not..

God I'd be really fed up if I were Maisie.. it's a bit basic in comparison

Ianthe is a great one

Also Athene or Athena

Acacia is pretty.
Cassia is a beautiful name. You could go for another spice name as Cassia is cinnamon…what about Anise?

Sparklinggreen · 22/12/2025 12:51

Not in love with your 3 choices

what about

Lucienne
Selene
Aurelia
Celeste
