HelpRe: WDYT of Cassian?
in reply to a message by 151936
About Cassius and Cassianus: Cassianus would have been the surname of a boy adopted into the Cassia family ("gens"). For example, if Marcus Cassius or Calpurnia Cassia adopts Aurelius Pontius, he becomes Aurelius Pontius Cassianus, or Aurelius Cassianus, depending on the type of adoption. A girl would become Cassiana.
I definitely would avoid Cassian, Cassius, etc... because of the character in the play... but mostly because of the real guy who murdered Caius Julius Caesar. He was a huge as*hole (sorry to say that about someone who is dead, but yeah...).
Last thing, if you finally name your kid Cassian, don't call the second one Brutus. :) :) :) :)
