Love it

I've never met anyone personally with the name (a bonus, IMO), but I like the music of the Mamas and the Papas, which included Cass Elliot. I would probably use Cassie as a nickname though, just because kids can be cruel.

Cassandra is lovely, and I like the meaning, but the association as the prophetess that no one believed is pretty tragic. On the plus side, she sometimes seemed like the only Trojan with a clue, and she turned down a god, which I respect. Apollo needed more women to tell him no.

It's okay. I prefer Cassia and Lysandra though.

Prophetess of doom who came to a sticky end? The only one I know is a black South African woman who says that her grandmother chose the name because she liked it.

Cassie is a bland nothing of a nn, and Sandra is not to my taste and anyway very dated. So, no.

One of my favourites.
