Nickname Cass for a boy?
Replies
nt.
I like these:
Casimir
Casper
Cassius
And think Cass is a wicked cool nickname for them. But then, I like soft nicknames on my boys. I think it's great. I'm considering Casimir & Caspar myself (but stuck on Cosmo as well). That's how much I like Cass on a boy. But in some places Caz would work better. I just can't see a Cass in Kansas, or Texas, but I can in Louisiana or New York, if that makes any sense.
As for Sookie / Sukie / Suki, I like Sukie as a nn for Susanna/h and don't mind Suki on a Japanese girl but Sookie reminds me of Wookie and Chewbacca.

Cass sounds quite masculine to me so I'd prefer nn Cass on a boy than hear it as a nn for something like Cassandra. I like Caspian (my favourite!), Cassian and Cassius. Casper reminds me of the ghost too much. Casimir looks and sounds handsome but I don't really like its negative meaning. I like Johnny Cash but the name Cash doesn't appeal to me at all, sorry. Suki doesn't appeal to me so much that I'd consider using it but its nice enough for someone else. I think I'd prefer it as a nn, though.
I like Caspian and Cassius. I like Cass as a nn. as a full name, it's too much like "crass". Also, I don't like Cash because it's slang for money and I don't like Casper because of the ghost.
Suki/Sukie is a cute nickname for Susan, Susanita, Susannah, Susanne, Suzette, Suzume, or Sushila.
Sibsets:
Cassius and Susannah
Caspian and Sushila

I like Cas! It's a fairly common name for a boy in the Netherlands (they're even called Cas, not usually as a nn).
I like Casimir and Caspian best. It's seems a bit sill to use Cass and a nn for Cash (it's not short or cuter or anything, just a diff ending sound, you might as well call him just Cass / Cas then). I like all the other Cas- names you have.
Also possible:
Lucas (away from the overused "Luke" :)
Callias (I really like this with nn Cas)
Castor
edit to add: I don't really see the use of the adding of the 2nd s in Cass, and also I looked it up and Cas is estimated to be around popularity place 40 in the Netherlands (as a full name)

I like it. It could also be short for Cassidy if you're looking for other names it could be short for (though I'm not wild about Cassidy).
Cash - Not a fan at all. Anyway, why have a nn for a one-syllable name?
Casimir - I like this one.
Casper - The friendly ghost.
Caspian - Prince Caspian, or the Caspian Sea. I wouldn't give it to a real kid because the associations are strong.
Cassian - This has a CASH sound, not a CASS sound.
Cassius - I love this name, but as with Cassian I assume you're pronouncing it CASH-us, so it doesn't really have a 'Cass' in it.
And I like Sukie too, it's fun. Though only as a nn.
