Vasiliki Karagiorgos (Greek: Βασιλική Καραγιώργος, Vasilikí Karagiórgos), known as Vassy (frequently stylised as VASSY), is an Australian singer, songwriter, record producer and actress of Greek descent. She is the first woman to win an ICON Award at the 2023 Electronic Dance Music Awards.'Vassy' is pronounced so that it rhymes with 'Lassie'.
This name reminds me of pretty blue purple flowers. It sounds like my language word for a type of flower that looks that way. I believe they were named after a form of this name.
I think it’s really cute! It has a masculine feel as well to it, but since it’s for a girl, I would never change that. Interesting that it’s a form of Basil!

Miss America 2016, Betty Cantrell, has this as her real name, but she spells it Baciliky. (By the way, my phone autocorrected Vasiliki as Basilisk. :( )
One of the ugliest Greek names and far too common, the Vaso form is especially ugly sounding. The name is too mature/old and unrefined sounding but I guess you can try to save it with a Vicky or Silia nickname.
Most common diminutives of this name in Greek are: Vasso, Vasia, Vicky, Silia. Sometimes it is also written as Vassiliki (double s) as the correct pronunciation of the name is vah-silly-key, meaning the second syllabus of the word must sound as "s" and not "z". [noted -ed]
This is by far one of the most fabulous names ever. If I ever have a daughter, I'm tempted to give her this name, but it may be considered a bit to obscure. Oh well.
