HelpCassio
What do you think of Cassio? Is it usable? Too "Othello"? Too "Casio computers"?
Any other Cas/Cass names for boys that you like?

Question for people who like Cassian
Do you say CASS-ee-an or CASH-an? Would it be difficult to use it in the 3-syllable form without people thinking it was the two-syllable version?

Three syllables. I also say Cassius as three syllables.
I think, at least in the US, the Rogue One movie makes Cassian more likely to be pronounced as CASS-ee-an.

Three syllables.
I honestly would not give a rip if people said it Cash-un. Eventually they'd either catch on, or else look stupid - it doesn't touch Cassian.

...I've never heard of "cash-an" as a pronunciation option before... and I don't like it. I say "cass-ee-an".
I'm not surprised some may pronounce it cash-an, though, as it's similar to Alicia in that way; I say "a-lee-see-ah" over "a-lesh-ah". I'm just not a fan of the slurring sounds I guess. It think this is a British vs American thing (though with Alicia Keys the non-British pronunciation has become more common because Alicia was never a super common name and it seems to have been overwritten :V ...)

I would say it as CASS-ee-an, though both forms are useable. I don’t really think anyone would mistake it as CASH-an, though.

Too Othello and Julius Caesar.

It makes me think of Casio watches.
I really enjoy Casper and would consider it for use.

Casio keyboards was the first thing that came to mind. It also reminds me of casserole.

I like it far more than Cassius! I also like Casper & Caspian.

I really like it! I don't think it's too closely associated with Othello or technology to be unusable.
I love Cassander.

Cassio I associate heavily with calculators. I actually rather like Casio / Cassio as well as Cassius. Actually I love Casper; Cassander; Caspian and Cassidy for boys (Cassandra; Cassidy; Casselda and Cassia for girls). I seem to have a fondness for the cas- prefix on both masculine and feminine names.
Unfortunately I think the association with the company is a bit too heavy for any real-life usage of Casio / Cassio

It’s likeable, but the Casio computer association is too strong for me. I prefer Cassian.

Ha! I thought of Casio keyboards, as I had one when I first started playing piano. We just sold it to a family down the street this year...we've had an upright piano for ~15 years now, and really had no need for it!
I kind of like Cassian and Cassander, as well as Casey, but would probably never use any of them.

I've never heard of Casio computers (eta, I looked it up, and I have, but it wasn't memorable to me), and I don't think it's too "Othello".
It seems somewhere near Leo, Julio, and Alex, stylewise.
I've been liking a lot of Cas names lately, including:
Cassius, Cassio, Cassian, Cassander
But I don't really like:
Caspian, Casper, Casimir, Castor
In general, I feel like Cass names sound outgoing and thoughtful, and I like that Cas seems unisex.
