Middle name for Cassandra?
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 SophieIt seems to be quite a hard name to match. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Megumi (ok, so it's Jpns., but it flows and it's pretty and it's a middle name)

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 wayName Kassandra is so quite long!

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

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.

Glad you liked them!

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.

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

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).
