I’ve never heard so much about it, I was always told I was named after a town in Florida my parents stayed in. We pronounce it kah SEE uh and oh lord how I hate it when people say cash-uh. I think that pronunciation sounds so ugly! I’ve only met one other girl named Cassia and she spelled it with a K instead.

Sad thing is it was the source of a lot of picking on…by my own siblings! But that’s to be expected. It’s definitely a name that stands out though,

I tend to pronounce it Kas-ay-uh
I think it’s a really pretty name but not one I would be likely to use.
In the book the brother of Cassia was named Bram. A lovely sibling set I think.

I have to admit, ever since that one season of America’s Next Top Model, I’ve completely been hooked on the name Katarzyna. It’s one of those names that I absolutely freakin’ love, but that I’d never use in real life. Okay, maybe I’d use it in the middle name spot if my husband was Polish, since I do have a grandmother named Katherine.

Kasia is way too common in my area, though in retrospect, it is a pretty name.

My little sister is named Cassandra, which is also a very pretty name, so I am thinking of calling a future daughter of mine Cassia to honor her. I would pronounce it Cass-ee-ah, like Cassie but with an a at the end. I’m partial to names with 3+ syllables for some reason.

I would probably call my daughter Cassia Evelina or Cassia Mary Elizabeth (Mary after my maternal grandmother and Elizabeth after Grandmom’s sister who goes by Betty. Evelina is after my late aunt Evelyn and a close friend I had in 8th grade.) Not sure on the nickname, since calling her Cassie might be confusing, especially if she ever meets my sister.

Kasia is ok. I had a friend in 6th grade who spelled it that way, but I personally hate the kah-sha pronunciation which is how she said it, so I prefer Cassia.

I haven’t been on here in a while since I have been really sick, and I am so happy to read this post, plus all the other ones I missed. Just in time for my birthday too (tommorrow).
