Message: "Middle name for Cassandra?"

[Opinions] Middle name for Cassandra?

by Rose-Berry

I am really struggling to find a good middle name to go with Cassandra. I have Cassandra Jo at the moment.

Other thoughts I had were:
Cassandra Leigh - but I think this is a bit fillerish and am not too keen on Leigh
Cassandra Delaney
Cassandra Sophie

It seems to be quite a hard name to match. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'll throw in a few off the top of my head

Leanne
Terri
Wendy
Bea
Megumi (ok, so it's Jpns., but it flows and it's pretty and it's a middle name)
Janelle
Joelle
Melanie

My three fave Cassandra combos are:

Cassandra Eve
Cassandra Jane
Cassandra Charlotte (C.C. would make cool initials if she were to become a writer!)

BTW, I love Davina, Louisa and Rosanna. :-)

Cassandra Eurydice is one of my combos of the moment, I don't think that's your style, though.

Cassandra Helen
Cassandra Genevieve
Cassandra Evelyn
Cassandra Juno
Cassandra Marian
Cassandra Jane
Cassandra Wren
Cassandra Maren
Cassandra Nimue
Cassandra Iris
Cassandra Eris
Cassandra Eirian
Cassandra Evren
Cassandra Nyx
Cassandra Daphne
?

You're right, Cassandra Eurydice isn't really my thing! I think I need to brush up on my mythology a bit more with some of these! Several people have suggested Cassandra Jane but I am not a fan of Jane.

My bff's name is Cassandra Rose, I think one or two syllables would be the best, short and sweet. What about:
Cassandra Jane
Cassandra Elle
Cassandra Emery
Cassandra Ivy
Cassandra Linea
Cassandra Erin
Cassandra Danielle
Cassandra Alison
Cassandra Amy

I already have Rose paired with India, otherwise I think it goes well.

No way

Name Kassandra is so quite long!

In English-speaking cultures

it is normal to have a middle name. What's more, not having a middle name is weird.
So this answer isn't very relevant.

I'm a big fan of putting Cassandra with E names, like:

Cassandra Eleanor
Cassandra Elaine
Cassandra Emmanuelle (that's a big name)
Cassandra Evelyn
Cassandra Edith / Edit
Cassandra Emmeline

I think it's such a versatile name that I could go on for ages with other combos, but I'll leave it at that.

- Rose-Berry

I like Cassandra Emmanuelle but I'm not too sure if it's too long! I like Eleanor but I'm not sure about it with Cassandra. Thanks.

Cassandra Sophie is by far my favorite from your list. Sophie, while French, has the Greek feeling / style as Cassandra and flows nicely. The only draw-back is the heavy S sounds. But it's not a deal breaker.

I'll throw out a few. Sorry for any repeats:

Cassandra Io ("EE-o")
Cassandra Helen (Too Trojan War-ish?)
Cassandra Jane (Jane Austen's sister and role model for Jane Bennet in P&P)
Cassandra Eve
Cassandra Iris (too much S again?)
Cassandra Blythe
Cassandra Sibyl (this might be cruel if you know / care about the mythological references. Plus, the S thing again)
Cassandra Phoebe
Cassandra Imogen
Cassandra Evelyn
Cassandra Niobe ("NIE-uh-bee")
Cassandra Justine (French twist on a Roman name like Justina works nicely with Greek Cassandra)
Cassandra Lily
Cassandra Zoe
Cassandra Laurel
Cassandra Joy
Cassandra Liv

I love Cassandra Blythe but I'm already using Blythe with Kerenza. I may have to rejig something. Zoe is also in another combo of mine but I do like it.

I like Cassandra Nyree as well (since watching the original Forsyte Saga on video a while back). Niobe I like from the TV series Rome (yes, I watch too much TV!). Cassandra Laurel is pretty as well. I will ponder some more.

Cassandra Lynn (but again its filler-ish)
Cassandra Eve
Cassandra Maureen
Cassandra Lucille
Cassandra Helene
Cassandra Lisanne (I think I might have just made that mn up though)
Cassandra Juliette
Cassandra Prithi
Cassandra Beth
Cassandra Penny

- Rose-Berry +1

10/26/2008, 7:09 AM

I like Cassandra Beth, thanks. Lisanne is pretty even if it is made up!

Using names from your PNL:

Cassandra Arwen
Cassandra Isabella
Cassandra Adelaide
Cassandra Yasmin
Cassandra Fern
Cassandra Frances
Cassandra Blythe
Cassandra Cecilia

Other ideas:

Cassandra Joan
Cassandra Josefa
Cassandra Eleanor
Cassandra Rosemary
Cassandra Joy
Cassandra Melisande

Anything you like?

- Rose-Berry

10/26/2008, 7:08 AM

I like Cassandra Adelaide, Cassandra Yasmin (really like this) and Cassandra Arwen. I've used Fern, Frances and Blythe in other combos which is partly why I'm struggling! I may have to do some re-jigging of combos. Not sure about the others, but I quite like Cassandra Joy.

I like Zoe, Jasmine and Tamsin but have used them in other combinations.

I really like Cassandra Holly and Cassandra Tamar especially as it has family connections. I think I'll add Tamar to my PNL. Thanks for the inspriation.

Any inspiration? It is a hard name to pair!

- Rose-Berry

10/26/2008, 6:24 AM

It is a hard name, isn't it!

Some of them work but I don't like them (Cassandra Paige for example). I like Adelaide a lot but I'm not sure about it paired with Cassandra. I'll think on it. I also like Cassandra Nadine. I quite like Cassandra Bethany but prefer Bethan and I think Cassandra Bethan would work as well. Thanks!

The issue I have with Jo is that it's a nickname, Cassandra Joan could work. Otherwise, let's see:

Cassandra Emily
Cassandra Louise
Cassandra Sylvia (too many s?)
Cassandra Nora
Cassandra Claire
Cassandra Lydia

that's all what I can think of at the moment.

I love Cassandra Joan and Cassandra Lydia (Lidia?)

- Rose-Berry

10/26/2008, 6:21 AM

I'm not keen on Joan. I know what you mean about Jo being a nickname but for a middle name it doesn't bother me too much although maybe a longer name is better.

I like Cassandra Lydia. Cassandra Claire is too many Cs for me. Cassandra Sylvia is too many S's and I don't like Sylvia anyway although I wish I did. My dad wanted to name me Sylvia and it would also honour two relatives (not that I'm big on honouring).
