Cassius. love or hate?

[lifeinthesun]

Cassius, Cass for short, is really growing on me for DS1 due next week but DH thinks may sound too Roman! What do you all think?

Cassius Clay.

Good strong name, but he might get teased if he's called Cass (a girls name imo - short for Cassie/Cassandra)

A friend's son has this name. I think it's cool.

Ooh, love that!

I like it, but only if pronounced Cass-ee-us and not Cash-us.

floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee...is that right?

awaits MNer who married a frog

Great name btw. Never hear it in rl but hear it discussed on here, usually positively.

Love!

Love!

love

Love it

oh good. all positives. great. now need to get DH to love it too!

I have a cassius as well (cass-ee-us). still love that name. in nursery he is often called cass, but not in a girly way iyswim.

I like Cassius, but my Dad pronounces it Cassyus which put's me off it a bit.

love it, would have been DD3s name had she been blue - either that of Cassian

hi froggie

I love it and would use it if dp could be persuaded.

It's like it.

But what's wrong with a name sounding Roman though!? I love names like Marius, Marcus, Julius, Aurelius.. Roman Classics make excellent names imo

Love it!

Not keen. Sorry!

Love
