[Opinions] Nickname... (Edit)
I'm starting to like Caspian a lot lately. The only thing is it's a bit of a mouth full. I was thinking Ian for a nickname. What do you think? I don't like Cassy / Cassie. Edited to ask... Would Cian make more sense? I'm likely that a lot better.

Hmm, I am really starting to like Caspian too. I don't think its a mouthful though.I think the nn Cash or Cas would be adequate. Cian would be ok.

Ian and Cian feel awfully contrived to me. I don't really say Caspian Casp- Ian. IDK, I don't really feel like Caspian is that much of a mouthful, and if it is the easiest thing would be to just drop a couple of syllables and call him Cass. It feels very masculine to me. Much more than Caz or Cassie.I'm sorry I haven't really been that useful.

I like Cassy. Ian is stretching it a bit, but makes sense. Cian doesn't make any sense at all.

What about Case ?

I love Ian. And I suppose it makes some sense as a nn for Caspian because it's in the name. But something about it feels wrong somehow. I can't put my finger on it, but it feels vaguely like cheating to use a completely different name as a nn. I've done it myself so I don't know why I'm reacting this strongly. Maybe because I get such different feelings from Caspian and Ian. How about Caz? I agree with you about Cassy / Cassie not working as a nn for Caspian. Cassy / Cassie is all girl to me.

CazI was wondering about Caz too... but it sounds a bit like Cass. What is a nn for Cassidy on a boy and then would that work for Caspian too.Casper??? :) I guess you may as well say Caspian then.I have the same trouble with Chelsea to be honest - the best I can do is Chels'

Caspian nn 'Ian' feels a little contrived. How about 'Cass'?
