[Opinions] Re: Cassia or Cassandra?
in reply to a message by Guest
Cassandra. It has lots of great nickname potential, great historical and mythological context, and less confusion about the pronunciation. Really you’d just have to deal with “cuh-SAN-druh” vs. “cuh-SAWN-druh”, both of which are very pretty and essentially the same name, just accented. Cassia would get ”CASS-ee-uh”, CASH-uh”, which I don’t like at all, or “cuh-SEE-uh”. It’s a bit confusing and they sound like completely different names.

Do you find the name Cassandra to be dated? It has great history but it gives me that same late 80's/early 90's feel as Alexandra.

Nope, in fact I’d use either of those names tomorrow if I had another baby. Alexandra was our second choice for Theodora. They’re timeless.
