Casimir

When I first saw the meaning of this name, it reminded me of when Jesus said in Matthew 10:34 that He didn’t come to bring peace, but a sword, which leads up to the verse in which He requires His followers to take up their “cross and follow” Him. So, that helps me like the name ever more.

For some reason I am drawn to this name. Can't explain why.
Just find it cool and I just like it.

What a dark and dreamy name!

Very cool name for a boy. :)

I prefer the French pronunciation. Either way, the name is real nice.

This name is cool, but I prefer it spelled with a K.

I know a Casimir! It's a really cool name, though people call him Cashmere/Kashmir... a lot. I like the spelling Kasimir better.

I love this name so much, it might be one of my biggest guilty pleasure names right now. I just love the sound of it. Too bad it has a terrible meaning though. But the meaning is perfect for a literary character. I actually picture a "villain" who turns out not to really be the villain in the story (like a huge plot twist). Most of all I think this name is inspirational.

Love the sound of the name, though considering the meaning, maybe not a great choice for a child. :P But I agree with those who say it would make a great villain name! Perhaps an evil sorcerer, or a tyrannical baron with a curly mustache?

Indeed, mostly not used in France. Maybe cause it's forever associated with an enormous orange dinosaur on a kid's tv program (L'île aux enfants). So it evokes a nice but ridiculous creature.

This is an awesome name. Where I'm from, we pronounce the name KAZ-meer, omitting the i. I prefer that pronunciation, personally.

I really love this name and plan to use it for a character in my story.

I don't care if it does mean destroying peace, it's such a cool name, and a great name for a villain.

I think Casimir is an EXCELLENT name for a villain in a story, because of its "villainous" sound (to me at least) and its meaning of "destroying peace". I also think it would be a great name for a heavy metal band. It sounds like something a metal band might call themself, as well as the fact that "destroying peace" is what heavy metal bands do best. Though, both ways, I prefer it spelled Cazimir. I do not know if anybody actually spells it this way. It just looks better to me that way.

Reminds me of "cashmere" which is "a type of wool made from fibers obtained from the Cashmere goat, or Pashmina. The name derives from an archaic spelling of Kashmir." (thanks, wikipedia.com!) I actually like the sound of both names but would worry that it might make the child feel like he was named after a breed of goat. Pashmina for a little girl is nice though. Hmmm. Twins named Cashmere and Pashmina?

I would be very sad to be named Casimir! But then again, if that WAS my name I guess I wouldn't care and be a rebel, because a lot of times names reflect on the way one acts. But I sure think it sounds cool!

The meaning of this name is horrid! It has a nice sound and delicate look though.

Ok first I didn't think much of this name. Then I came across a young man with this name and I thought it didn't sound or look so bad. Now that I've found out that it means "destroy peace" uuuhhhh... not so sure I like that! But KAZ-i-meer sounds good--maybe I can forget about the meaning!

I knew I girl who had this as last name. I think it's a cool name, but better as a last name.

It took me a few minutes to let it sink in, but after better understanding the pronunciation, and thinking about all the potential middle names to go along with it, I'm really starting to find a warm spot for it. What a nice (elegant) name!
