[Opinions] WDYT of this name and what are some possible nicknames?

I've recently come across the name Cassian and I absolutely love it for a boy. What are your thoughts on the name and would you ever use it?

I also got to thinking of possible nicknames for it and couldn't think of any besides Cas. Do any come to mind?

Have a look at my name list and leave your ratings!

I like it a lot! But it might get popular soon because of Rogue One.

I actually love Cassian.

I pronounce it Cass-ee-an, though Cash-in is also valid.

Cas is probably the most obvious nickname, though Cash would work, and so would Ian, Casey, or just C.

I checked Cassian and discovered that the default pronunciation given here is CASHan.

CASeean sounds more authentic, and less like a cashier at the end of the day, cashin' up. However, if you're considering Cas as a nn, rather than Cash, then you may be going with the Latin version anyway.

What would most people's best guess at pronouncing it be, where you live?

My default is CASS-ee-an.

I'd say most people would by default go with the pronunciation KAS-see-an rather than KASH-en. Perhaps I should have also clarified that KAS-see-an is my preferred pronunciation for this name as well.

Hi !!!

Cassian?
I dislike the pronounce.

But Cassiano (the Italian variant) is the patron saint of my town. It is pronounced kahs-see-AH-noh.

Any NN for Cassian?
Sunny? If it is too childish go with Shea? Yes! I like Shea for it. How about Nash? And what about 'Seek' if he is a curious person?

Cassian 'Sunny'
Cassian 'Shea'
Cassian 'Nash'
Cassian 'Seek'

It's nice, but not my style; it sounds a little too trendy to me. I know it's uncommon but it just has a trendy 'feel' to it. I prefer Cassia for a girl. A nickname not mentioned yet could be Ian.

I like it, and I love Cass/Cassie for a boy.

Cash?

Honestly it's kind of a GP for me at the moment because of the Rogue One movie. I love it and it fits in with my style, but I don't know if I'd really want to name someone after a fictional character. (I know using the name isn't necessarily naming someone after the character... but we are big Star Wars fans, I would always be thinking of it.) I love the sound, though! And it's unique without sounding crazy.
