Cass / Cassius

[atlasthebrute]

Love this name for a boy but worried people will assume he's a girl when abbreviated to Cass. Also, how would you pronounce Cassius -as it looks or Cash-us??

Another meaning is "a protective case" and our Cassius came into the world in his caul so it was very appropriate!

We call him Cass quite a lot I don't think of that as feminine at all but then I would say that.

My son is called Cassius, i call him cash and pronounce cassius as cash- us, do have many arguments about how to say it, i think either way depending on if you like shortened to cass or cash, he did not suit cass

My ds nn is cass he is 10 months and it really suits him. It is most certainly a boys name.

The power of mumsnet. When I first saw this name I thought 'como?' with a face like manuel from Fawlty Towers to match, but now it has really grown on me.

I'd heard of it, but only ever wrt muhammed ali, the notion of choosing it as a name wouldn't have occurred to me a year ago. But I 'get' it now. It's a 'grower'.

yeah but i'm a thicko lockets, i never studied roman classics. I know that's what an educated person would think. I am a philistine and i am still learning on the hoof.

I really love the names Julius and Marcus though.

my point being they are roman classics as well so i do like roman naems
