My great grandmother was Greek. Her name was Kassiani but went by Kassiana. Which do you prefer?

Well, I read Kassiani as Kassiana anyway so I'd go for option 2.

I prefer Kassiana - it's really pretty.

I wouldn't go for Kassiara, as you loose the connection to your great grandmother!

Would change to a C start so it looks more English otherwise lifetime of explaining the name in UK

God forbid something isn’t “english” enough.

Both are lovely.

I like Kassiana.

Kassiana is beautiful.

I would go with Cassiana. She would have to explain K again and again.

I think the K makes these names even more beautiful

Lovely name
Please don’t shorten to Kassie

thank you everyone for your thoughts. I'm thinking between Kassiana and Kassiara and have ruled out Kassiani

definitely Kassiana!

I’m not keen on Kassiara tbh. It just doesn’t sound as nice and you’d lose the connection to your grandmother…

Me too.

Kassiana definitely.

Kassiana with a K is my favourite. I hope we’re a diverse enough nation to cope with a K and not a C initial.
