Re: Cass for a boy
in reply to a message by poetic_freedom
I think Cass for a boy is very nice and refreshing, but I prefer it as a nn.
Cassanova is a definite no-no to me though. Besides being misspelled (properly, it's Casanova--but see below too), it's too prone to teasing imo.
Cassian's pretty. I also like Cassander (the male form of Cassandra) Cassius, and Cassidy for a boy.
There's also the Cas- names, which you could nn Cass too imo: Casimir (though I don't like its meaning), Casper / Caspar, Caspian, and Castor (but then there's castor oil to think of). Some would also include Casey in this group, but I don't because Casey's pr. KAY-see, not KAS-ee.
