Re: Cassian and Ashley
in reply to a message by Elinor
I really prefer Cassia. However, I pronunce it CASH-ah, which I find easier to say than CASS-ee-ya. My speech impediment is getting in the way on that one! Cassian to me is CASH-in, which I think sounds very masculine. I really love Cassia, though--it used to be one of my top favourite names, with Cass (after Cass Elliot) as a nickname.
I think that Cassia Lake would sound beautiful. I'm having a hard time liking any of these with Cassian, though, sorry.
As for the Ashley name...I think it's a nice combo. I'm having a little trouble with the middle name (but it's nicer than Ryan!), because I can't really say it properly, but together they sound all right. Personally, I'd pick a three-syllable name to go with Ashley--two is just slightly mechanical sounding.
