[Opinions] Cassie and Cassiopeia
After posting this, I realized that I am in love with Cassiopeia nn Cassie. I think its quirky, yet classic. Do you guys think Cassiopeia could work on a modern female?

I think Cassiopeia is really pretty, but not usable. Maybe as a middle name, but even then, I can't see it on a real person. It'd be nice for a character :-)_____________________________________________________________________"My universe is laced around your wrist; I am the bracelet you sport."Elinor

I think Cassie is great, but Cassiopeia is a bit out there (I'm also afraid of teasing at school since in English it has "pee" in it).

Definitely. It doesn't sound prissy or victorian or romantic, but it has an air of ancient times about it. I think it would work welll on a preppy, happy sort of girl.

I love Cassie, but really dislike Cassiopeia. The emphasis on the "pee" part of the name sounds awkward and I think it would cause a lot of teasing. I much prefer Cassie as a nickname Cassandra or Cassia.

I think it could work. I like the name, but I am a bigger fan of the original Greek form of Kassiepeia.

I like it a lot. I think it's very cute and, as you said, still classic. I'd love to see it on a girl today. I also like the nn Cassie.

I actually quite like Cassiopeia myself. I've never been a fan of Cassie and especially not Cassandra, but Cassie as a nn for Cassiopeia is quite nice. I could see it for a girl and a lady.

Cassiopeia is fun because of the story, but she's not a great "role model". I've never cared for Cassie, but I'd really love to meet a real life Cassiopeia. Can't say she would have to go by Cassiopeia B. or anything. hehe.-Seda*

Someone else who likes it. :-)I decided tonight that I adore Cassiopeia Truth, and Ken told me that I was insane. I still think Cassiopeia Truth is a great name, and I'd really use it!Siri
