I was wondering on the opinions of the girls' name
Cassandra? It's one of the very few names my SO and I both like and could agree on for a girl.
Other than the fact that the greek mythological
Cassandra had a rather depressing tale, can you think of any other drawbacks? And is the mythology too much stigma for the name you think?
I absolutely love the way
Cassandra looks written out in full and I love the sound of it but I worry a
Cassandra is inevitable to become a
Cassie. The only
Cassandra I've ever known was a
Cassie and it does have that something like
Madeline that makes it seemed doomed to be shortened. Not that I have anything against the nn
Cassie, it's cute and if it's what she wanted to be called then that's fine.
And lastly what about the combo
Cassandra Mary? We are only interested in using family names for middle names, the other top contenders are
Marie,
Jayne and
Mona.
