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

also been on my mind is Kassiara, what do you think?

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.

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 22/07/2026 09:03

Kassiana is beautiful.

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

SallySunPop · 22/07/2026 09:22

I think the K makes these names even more beautiful

Floppyearedlab · 22/07/2026 09:24

Lovely name
Please don’t shorten to Kassie

helphingtonzoo · 22/07/2026 09:43

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.

Bakeittillyoumakeit · 22/07/2026 17:26

Kassiana definitely.

GoodbyeZebedee · 22/07/2026 17:29

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.
