I tend to prefer slightly shorter names, but I like Cassandra more and more. Part of it is that I like Cass as a nickname. I had a lovely coworker with the name and I think that helped. I also like the mythological associations. It doesn't come across as dated to me at all.

Meh. They’re okay. I never cared for Cassandra but it’s not a bad name. Kinda pretty if anything. I would prefer Alexandra though. I know a woman by the name of Kassandra and I don’t have the best association with it. I like both spelling equally. If I were forced to name a daughter Cassandra I guess I’d choose that spelling.

And yes, the mythological association are quite depressing but hey, that’s Mythology for you. Even my name is a little weird. I can’t say it’s dated because it was never THAT popular, but it’s does have a sprinkle of dated to it.

I would pair Cassandra with something Mythological as well. If not maybe a bit more spunky though...

Not dated where I live: I've never met even one! I prefer Cassandra, though it is becoming fashionable to use the ancient Greek K spelling rather than the English C: Kirke, for instance, where it does change the pronunciation. Kassandra doesn't.

I don't like either version. Cassie and Sandra do not appeal to me at all, and Cassandra is inconveniently long for daily use.

I think the mythological associations are the best things about it.
