Yeah, I'm the same way - I'm fonder of a name that has fewer associations.
Thank you for the great list! I'm really taken with:
Cassandra Willow - I enjoy
Willow, but a close friend has a daughter named this. What about
Cassandra Willa?
Cassandra Verity - oh, I do like this. plus, I think it goes along great with the whole story of
CassandraCassandra IlianaCassandra Lirael - Lirael is intereting. Where's it from? If it's just made up, I'd also enjoy
Cassandra Liriel too.
Cassandra Betony - eeee! I love this! It's sunny and alert
Cassandra ElowenCassandra Lavinia - ahaa lovely. Also
Lavinia is a family name!
Cassandra VivienCassandra Signe - aw, adorable.
Cassandra Signy is also fetching
Cassandra Wendy - another great one! So quirky and smiling
Cassandra BryonyCassandra Iris - Oh now this I like. I enjoy "sneaky" names that look "normal" but have ties to mythology.
Iris Cassandra would be wonderful too
Cassandra Laurel - another subtly excellent one.
Thank you very much!
