[Opinions] Cassander
So the post below about the male Cassie made me think that Cassander, kind of like a masculine Cassandra, should be a name. Well, lo and behold, it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassander Maybe I heard about him in a history class at some point and that's why it seemed like a name.Anyway, I think it's pretty cool! I came up with these combos for it:Alaric Cassander
Dashiell Cassander
Dexter Cassander
Julian Cassander
Kieran Cassander - This seems mismatchy, but I do like it.
Philip Cassander
Quentin CassanderCassander Augustus - too imperial?
Cassander Edison
Cassander Gratian
Cassander TullyWhat do you think of Cassander and do you like any of my combos? Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure Skelton used it as a form of Cassandra in one of those amazing poems that are basically lists of every nice thing he could find to say about someone. Good Cassander. Rhymes with something pomander.But as the world becomes simultaneously less and more learned, it wouldn't matter!

I don't mind it, could grow on me. I don't think I could use it though seeing as though Cassie is my name.

No... It shouldn't be. It is, but it shouldn't be. Sounds like it's trying too hard. Just doesn't work. Not liking it at all.

I think it's a very cool name. :) I especially like Julian Cassander from your list. Cassander August would be nice.

I like it!
Alaric Cassander is pretty cool. Philip Cassander, Cassander Augustus, Julian Cassander, Cassander Gratian, and Cassander Tully are also great.
I think it's best as a mn IRL so it won't get mistaken for Cassandra.

TrueI could see a boy in real life having trouble with that name for that reason.

Cassander sounds like a name a little boy would give to his big sister, Cassandra, because he can't say her name properly =\ I'd honestly prefer Cassidy on a boy -- I think it sounds an' masculine. I think my favourites out of your combos are Philip Cassander and Cassander Augustus -- though I'd prefer August -- they just seem to work. :)

I didn't know it was a name, either. And actually, I love it. There's one thing and one thing only that would keep me from using it. The possible nickname Cassie. I can't handle that on a boy.

He could be "Casey" instead.
