nt.

I like these:
Casimir
Casper
Cassius
And think Cass is a wicked cool nickname for them. But then, I like soft nicknames on my boys. I think it's great. I'm considering Casimir & Caspar myself (but stuck on Cosmo as well). That's how much I like Cass on a boy. But in some places Caz would work better. I just can't see a Cass in Kansas, or Texas, but I can in Louisiana or New York, if that makes any sense.

As for Sookie / Sukie / Suki, I like Sukie as a nn for Susanna/h and don't mind Suki on a Japanese girl but Sookie reminds me of Wookie and Chewbacca.

I adore Cass as a nn for a boy (and Cassie as a nn for a girl, for that matter).

---

The C. S. Lewis fan in me is really rooting for Caspian, nn Cass. :o) Cassius & Casimir are very close runners-up, though!

Cass sounds quite masculine to me so I'd prefer nn Cass on a boy than hear it as a nn for something like Cassandra. I like Caspian (my favourite!), Cassian and Cassius. Casper reminds me of the ghost too much. Casimir looks and sounds handsome but I don't really like its negative meaning. I like Johnny Cash but the name Cash doesn't appeal to me at all, sorry. Suki doesn't appeal to me so much that I'd consider using it but its nice enough for someone else. I think I'd prefer it as a nn, though.

You know I love it :)

I love Cass or Cassie on a boy!

---

I love either:

---

Caspian
Cassidy
Casper
Cassian
Cassius

---

I used to try and use Oscar "Cas" as a nickname.. bit far fetched.

I like Caspian and Cassius. I like Cass as a nn. as a full name, it's too much like "crass". Also, I don't like Cash because it's slang for money and I don't like Casper because of the ghost.

---

Suki/Sukie is a cute nickname for Susan, Susanita, Susannah, Susanne, Suzette, Suzume, or Sushila.

---

Sibsets:
Cassius and Susannah
Caspian and Sushila

My personal preference is for Cassio, because I love Othello. I always felt so bad for him, the poor man.

---

Of those you've listed, I think Cassius and Caspian are my favourites. I like Cass a a nn for a boy, and I dig Sukie, too--though also definitely as a nn.

I like Cas! It's a fairly common name for a boy in the Netherlands (they're even called Cas, not usually as a nn).

---

I like Casimir and Caspian best. It's seems a bit sill to use Cass and a nn for Cash (it's not short or cuter or anything, just a diff ending sound, you might as well call him just Cass / Cas then). I like all the other Cas- names you have.

---

Also possible:
Lucas (away from the overused "Luke" :)
Callias (I really like this with nn Cas)
Castor

---

edit to add: I don't really see the use of the adding of the 2nd s in Cass, and also I looked it up and Cas is estimated to be around popularity place 40 in the Netherlands (as a full name)

I like it. It could also be short for Cassidy if you're looking for other names it could be short for (though I'm not wild about Cassidy).

---

Cash - Not a fan at all. Anyway, why have a nn for a one-syllable name?
Casimir - I like this one.
Casper - The friendly ghost.
Caspian - Prince Caspian, or the Caspian Sea. I wouldn't give it to a real kid because the associations are strong.
Cassian - This has a CASH sound, not a CASS sound.
Cassius - I love this name, but as with Cassian I assume you're pronouncing it CASH-us, so it doesn't really have a 'Cass' in it.

---

And I like Sukie too, it's fun. Though only as a nn.

That is so weird that you have the name Sookie on there because I'm watching Gilmore Girls right now. I don't know if you got the name from that but if not there is a character on there names Sookie. I like the name Casper by the way with the nickname of Cass.

I like these:

---

Casimir
Casper
Caspian
Cassius

From that list I only really like Cassius, pro. KAS-ee-us, I'm not fond of the CASH-us pro. I think Cass would be a super cute nn for a boy, I'd especially like it as a nn for Cassidy.

---

I also love Cassandra nn Cassie for a girl.

It's not in the database, but Cassander's legit. How about Cassander nn Cass?

---

Out of the ones you've listed, I really like Casimir and Casper.

---

I've never been able to get into the whole Sukie thing, but I like it well enough as a nn for Susannah. :)

I knew a Casey who went by Caz back in high school. He was HOOOTTT, so to me it's an excellent nn, and sounds almost like Cass.

---

Cass, makes me think of Cassandra, honestly.

Caspian is good with the nn Cass (even though I prefer Cass for a girl)
