It's a very nice name, but the mythological character isn't someone I would want to reference at all. Unfortunate, since it's a very pretty and classic name.

My wife and I picked this name for our daughter in 2016. I've loved this name for years, and I was so glad to get a chance to use it. It's relatively rare where we live, which is an added bonus.

I've heard many people say that they prefer Cassiopeia as a full name for Cassie, but I personally prefer Cassandra. And although, yes, it does contain „ἀνήρ”, I think that the mythological history gifts Cassandra a rather feminist aspect.

This is a very pretty name. I especially love the nickname “Cassie”. The “d” sound in the name also gives it another unique sound that some names don’t have. I can understand why it was kind of popular in the past.

Such a beautiful name. It sounds so lovely. A mixture of spunk, elegance and grace. I also like the Greek mythology behind it. I have chosen it as my daughter's name. Her name is that of a Trojan princess and mine a Roman empress. May it never become too popular or overused.

At first, I wasn’t a huge fan of the name. I didn’t like that people would mess up the spelling and that there were no other Cassandras in my class. As I’ve been getting older, I seem to love my name more and more. It’s long but at the same time so simple and unique. Cassandra is quite a beautiful name, and it took me some time to realize it but I adore it. Being a Cassandra is a challenge itself. You gotta live up to this gorgeous name! Anyways, I love my name. It’s me, Cassandra (but I usually go by Cassie Marie)

My name is Cassandra Taylor and my mother named me after the Greek princess. I know that no one will believe me but when I dream I get a glimpse of what will happen in the future, like what weather it will be tomorrow, in a month, or a year. It usually happens but I can't make it happen. And only witness not change and some things I see are not always great but I guess I gotta live with it. May Princess Kassandra rest in peace.

I think Cassandra is a very impressive, powerful name. I wouldn't expect a Cassandra to be shy and retiring. As a rather timid, introverted person myself, I'm glad I'm not a Cassandra, because I could never live up to it! I also like how many nicknames could be made from Cassandra. I only know two people named Cassandra. One is a woman in her 60s (goes by Sandra) and the other is her granddaughter in her teens (goes by Cassie). They live up to the fantastic beauty of the name.

I adore this name. I always imagine a Cassandra being a honey blonde with big 60s style hair and chocolate brown eyes walking in a bikini on a hot summer's day, walking along a sandy beach in Miami or somewhere else in America with hot weather and palm trees... perhaps California? Yes, I picture the name Cassandra on an all American beauty- great name. And Cassy and Sandy are great nicknames too.

Always loved it as it is my middle name. Mom penned her special touch to it in the form of Casandria. I was named after a beautiful girlfriend of my uncle at the time my mom was pregnant with me. Loved my childhood nickname of Sandy. Hated the others kids in grade school calling me ‘cassava’ though.
Didn’t stumble upon its meaning until later on in life and I truly believe it because I’ve become a helper of men in my own regard... as a certified emergency room nurse.
And the historical association of being a prophetess, I’ve experienced that aspect many times for myself.. sometimes heeded, other times not so much.
All in all, It’s a great name, regal and alluring, not commonly heard... takes a while to learn to spell as a kid. Love it love love it.

I love the name Cassandra! If I ever have a daughter, I will name her Cassandra Mae. I like all of the nicknames for Cassandra (Cassie, Casey, Cass, Sandy, Sandra), although I wouldn't really enjoy calling my daughter "Sandra". This name is so beautiful!

I am apparently in the minority on the name Cassandra. I've always disliked it very much and started asking people to call me Sandra in high school. It very quickly turned into Sandy and I've been known as Sandy for about 28 years. What makes things even worse is my middle name is Christine. They are both very long names. Plus, the story of my grandma being the one to name me and my mother disagreeing but going along with it doesn't set well with me either.

I've always liked my name. However, I didn't like the shortened version, Cassi, for the longest time because I was constantly called Lassie throughout school. I also got into an argument with my kindergarten teacher because she insisted that I was spelling Cassi wrong. No, my mom didn't want the e on the end. The teacher wasn't happy when my mom sent a response to the note home regarding my argumentative nature regarding my name.

I used to hate being called Cassandra. My mom named me after the Greek Prophetess. I usually go by Casey. A lot of people call me Cassie or Cass. It doesn't really bother me. I have started to actually like the name. However I have found that I get to say "I told you so", "I warned you", and "I wish you would have listened" far too many times for liking. I have this curse and it is real. There is no doubt about it. Being smart just doesn't cut it when people refuse to listen to you when you are always right...

Cassandra is nice but I prefer the spelling Kassandra. It just seems more rare. The nickname Sandra I don't like, but Cassie and Casey are cute names.

I've been called Sandra, but that's because some people think that my name is too long. I don't really like "Sandra" as a shortening though, I prefer Cassie, it's cuter. But I love my name, the history and everything about it, and also the other persons that I know who are Cassandras, they are quite lovable.

In the Greek myth Cassandra's name is a synonyme of Alexandra, that is why it has also the meaning : she who repels men (besides: she who excels).
Athough I love the name, her story is a sad one. After Troy was taken over by the Greeks, Cassandra looked for selter in the temple of the goddess Athena. There she was raped by a Greek warrior. Then she was given to Agamemnon, who fell deeply in love with her. It is said they had two children together, Teledamos and Pelopas. Agamemnon brought her with him back to Greece, where they were tragicly murdered by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover Egisthos.

My name is Cassandra. I love my name so much. At first I thought my name was too long, took up too much energy to remember. However, I have grown to love my name. I love the meaning servant of mankind, and light, and it is really awesome to know that Cassandra was a prophetess in Greek mythology, a princess. I also realize that the bearers of this name are generally considered to be very beautiful inside out, We Cassandras tend to be a friend to whoever needs one. Cassandra's are crazy fun, you'll enjoy a friendship with her, totally extraordinary. Not being biased, these were opinions of others before I shared these opinions.

My name is Cassandra Elaine, which I really love. I pronounce my name as Cuh/Cas-sand-ra. Some people say my name as Cuh-saun/sawn-dra, but I don't really mind.
People might say that there is a certain word within the name in which they like the spelling - Casandra better. But, the fact is when people pronounce this name, they don't usually say the name with a stress on the first few words unless they do it intentionally. The stress belongs on san in Cus-SAN-dra. That is how I pronounce my own name.
I like the meaning of my name as "helper/servant of mankind" along with my middle name Elaine which means "light."
So in full, my name can be interpreted as a personal message of how to live my own life: be of help and serve mankind, and continue to be a light to the world, shining through my actions.

I love my name. Cassandra is very formal and Cassie fits me very well as a nickname. Coworkers and family have started calling me Cass now that I'm in my 20's. It's a great name to grow up with since it has different levels of formality, like Michael, Mikey, Mike.

This is my name, too, though spelled Cassandre "Casse" and I'm actually surprised at how many people with this name like it. As a kid, I was picked on for this name... Sassy, Lassie, Gassy, etc., not to mention Casey, Cassidy, Chastity, and Cass (which I hated, because it was the name of a guy on a soap opera my grandmother watched). As an adult I'm more okay with it, but still don't care for it. Plus people on the phone always hear Cathy. Growing up my mother said it meant 'defender of man', like Alexandra does and I thought that was a really stupid meaning compared to my brother's which meant "gift of God".

I was searching this name because it is my name and read that Cassandra means she who breathes flames of love. I love this name (of course , because it is mine) but also because it is classic, feminine, and elegant.

I personally love the name, while it is too common for me to use, and I hate the nicknames.
I like it pronounced either way. I've known two Cassandras. (One went by "Sabi" the other "Kassy") Kassy was an annoying, bullying child; the other, "Sabi" was a Dungeon Master and super-geek. I guess it kind of goes to show how this name can fit all personality types.

My full name is Cassandra Linnette and everyone I talk to tells me my name is beautiful and I think so too. If it wasn't my name already I would name my daughter that. I really believe the thing about the curse put on Cassandra in Greek Mythology because when I know something is going to happen, no one believes me, and when it really does happen, they still think it was just a coincidence. Oh yea and it's a name no one ever teased me for. That's always a good thing to look for when picking a name for a child.

I have always loved the name Cassandra. My parents always told me it meant God's helper and Helper of mankind. I have also heard that it means truthful. I am often told that I have a beautiful name and I agree!

I love the name Cassandra because it's my name. But I am not happy that some people think the name is for witches because it is NOT!

I love my name, I used to hate being called Cassandra but I love the uniqueness of it now. My full name is Cassandra Alicia and I like the idea of the Greek princess/prophetess myth.

When I started Ancient Greek lessons I decided to look into my favourite girl's name. I found several possible meanings - 'Bringing light to mankind' was our favourite. If I ever have kids then I'd name my daughter this - saying someone brings light to mankind is a pretty good name, I think.

I read in a magazine that it meant seductress of men.

Um, no, it does not mean "seductress of men". That is an error.

The one thing that bugs me about my name is getting called two different names all the time. My name is pronounced Cas"san"dra not Cas'sand'ra. I also have a friend who I share the spelling of name but not the pronunciation of it. If you ever watch "Wayne's World' Mike Meyer's character jumps from one pronunciation to another. It's irritating when someone does that. But all in all a very pretty name!

I figured my name was just an excuse to get me to write more because of how long it is. But I think it's beautiful because of its history.

I wondered what Cassandra - my name - meant. I looked it up in the dictionary. The definition was this: "Greek Goddess means helper of men." My personal opinion is that some meanings are different than others.

It also means "helper of man" or in the dictionary "one who utters unheeded prophecies."
