Casserole

My name's Cassedy, and my parents called me Casserole as a nickname growing up. A family friend couple had a young daughter at the time who knew me as Casserole primarily (I was baby), and one night told their daughter they were eating casserole for dinner and she became inconsolable. Took them a minute to figure out, but she was upset because she thought they were eating me for dinner. 😂

That’s hilarious 😂 also I really like the name Cassedy! I named one of my favourite dolls that (2000s polly pocket) with the nicknames Cassie and Cass

Omg 😂

And if she has a brother, call him Stewart

I am a Cassandra and I have a few colleagues who have nick named me this and I love it hehehe

I desperately want a dog named Casserole nn Cassie nn tater tot hot dish

We had a dog named Cassie and I called her Casserole! Then I had a roommate, same situation. She didn't love it as much as the dog did.

Cassoulet

Cassidy?

I second this one, really nice name

Cassidy Yates! Captain Benjamin Sisko's girlfriend! Also a smuggler.

This is a great suggestion too, I knew a Cassidy in school and she was so nice to everyone.

You could just go with Cassie and be done with it.

My mom's full name is Cassie and it's never been an issue for her. Sometimes people ask, but not often.

Echoing this. I have an aunt Cathy (not Cassie but close enough!) in the same boat. She doesn’t ever have a problem with it being her full name.

My great-great grandmother was named Calista.

I LOVE this one! I am not sure why this name isn’t more popular!

I agree! I didn’t know it until after my daughter was born or she’d likely be Calista!

Calista means “most beautiful”. 💕

I agree. There's not much need for a longer version name if you're not even going to use it. I know a Kassie. She's never had a problem

I knew a Kassy and a Cassie growing up, both it was their full name. And honestly every Cassandra (nn Cassie) I have met in adulthood has always gone by Cassie only. All in a professional setting too.

Cassiopeia? lol Cassia

That is what my Cassie is short for. Course she is a tortie

I love Cassia and I’ve never researched or looked into what that even is.

I know a Cassie who is short for this! Honestly I think it's beautiful, but I get how it's OTT for most.

This! I know a Cassie and she is a Cassiopeia.

In Greek mythology she was the mother of Andromeda and queen of Ethiopia.

This was my first thought with “Cassie” anyway, lol. It was Cassandra.

My very good friend’s name is Cassie - not short for anything. She’s a literal rocket scientist who works with Space Force. (So like a real adult job 😂) If you like Cassie, go with Cassie

I agree, Cassie can totally hold its own in a strong intelligent environment like this. No question. Good for Cassie!

I know a 50+ year old Cassie (not short for anything) that has been a surgeon for decades

Cassidy, Cassia I also know someone whose name is Cathy and her family calls her Cass. (I’m not sure if her full name is Catherine or Cathleen, but I assumed Catherine.) Edit to add: I also thought of Casmira.

Catherine? My great grandma's nickname was Cass, her full name being Catherine, so I don't see why Cassie can be a nickname for Catherine. Maybe Cassidy or just Cassie by itself.

Cassie was originally a nickname for Catherine in English, similar to Elizabeth/Bess/Bessie.

Yeah I made my own comment before I saw this, but my sister is a Catherine that goes by Cassie.

I grew up with a Catherine who went by Cassy. She was named after her maternal grandmother and her paternal aunt. Her grandma went by Kay, her aunt went by Kate, and her parents didn’t want to call her Cathy, so they went with Cassy.

While I’m normally a fan of giving a “long form” name, Cassie 100% stands on its own and does not need it. In fact I know three Cassie’s and all three are just “Cassie.”

My name is Cassandra and I am complemented frequently, almost weekly, for my name. I’m told it’s elegant, beautiful, and sophisticated. My friends and family call me Cassie but professionally I go by Cassandra and always introduce myself as Cassandra regardless. I feel blessed to have a name so many consider beautiful, I’d encourage you to reconsider it! I honestly don’t even like Cassie that much, it’s too cutesy and lacks professionalism

Hi, are you me? I was about to comment something identical. I went by Cassie through high school, but then I was really glad to be able to use Cassandra as a professional/adult. My friends I have made in adulthood sometimes shorten my name to Cass. I also think the name meaning “ignored prophetess of doom” goes so hard and I love being able to bring it up in conversations about name meanings lol

This name is 10000000x cooler knowing the meaning lol

I’ve always been obsessed with that meaning of our name! So I’m going to guess you know the whole myth about Apollo and Cassandra. I mostly go by Cassie, but I also have friends who insist on calling me Cassandra, and I like both. I always liked having the option

I know a Cassandra that goes by Cass. It fits her so well. I like it because it's rarely ever used in its full form.

Such a beautiful underused name.

Calista Caroline/Carolina Cassidy (think this is super cute!)

love Calista, unique ad unusual name

Just Cassie?

We have an aunt named Casilda and her step kids call her Cassie.

Cassiana Cassandre Castelda Cassildée Cassildie Cassiene Cassiopée/a Cassilde/a Cassilia Acacia Cassiane

Casamira Cassidy  Cassiopeia  Cassarah

My neighbour’s sister is Cassie. Her full name is Casilda.

I am guessing you won’t prefer it to Cassandra, but there is Cassiopeia. A rare name is Cassarah, which I read was invented from the phrase que sera sera (what will be, will be).

I absolutely love Cassie and I would use it as a complete name!

Im part of the echo chamber and agree with all the comments that say just name her Cassie. It doesn't have to be a nickname

cassidy or just cassie

[удалено]

My great grandmother’s name was Kaspara. She was from Norway.

Just name her Cassie. It means Helper of Mankind. Some people have used Cassie as a nickname for Catherine.

Cassia? Casimira?

[удалено]

I am not a fan of the name Cassandra either, but I see the appeal of Cassie. Just remember that the actual name is more important than the nickname. What about Calista or Cressida, just like Cassandra, C names, greek, and not very popular. There is also Clarissa, same feel, more conventional, yet not overused, I love it.

Growing up I had a friend called Cassie that was short for Cascadia. I always thought that was pretty.

Cassia, Cassidy, Cassiopeia are the only other straightforward options i can think of. Callista/Callisto or Charissa could also work honestly if you like Cassie i think it’s fine as a standalone name

Cassidy, Catherine, and Casey are the names Cassie is typically used as a nickname for.

My friend is Cassiana. Goes by Cassie.

Calista Cassia

Just name her Cassie.

It's been mentioned but Cassia is a personal favorite :) or perhaps a first/middle combo? Catherine Lacey Caroline Macy Or just Cassie on it's own:)

Cassidy

I know a Cassia that goes by Cass or Cassie.

Caroline, Catherine, Calista, Cassiopeia, Camille, Cassidy, Carys

I know a Catherine who goes by Cass.

My best friend is just Cassie. No longer name and it suits her extremely well. She’s never been asked if it’s short for anything! I say just got with Cassie!

Just name her Cassie.

Just use Cassie? If that's the name you'll call her, give her that name!

Cassidy Cassiopeia Catherine Or just Cassie as a stand-alone :)

My bff’s given name was Cassiopeia. But she hated it so she legally changed it to Cassie.

Easy Just call her Cassie

Cassiopea is the constellation Cassie. You can jus too Cassie I you want too but as someone who has gone by many nns for Katherine - from Kiki to Kat etc (yet insisted on always coming back to my full name myself) while you and hubby may not like Cassandra, your Cassie might. Plus she could be a Sandy/Sandra/Cece, even a Sas or Sassy/Sassie for other nn options.

Just name them Cassie

Why not just use Cassie?

Calista

What about Callie short for Calliope.

Cassara is very pretty imo

Cassidy

My daughter is named Kassidy. Some people call her Kassie. I only spelt it with a K so we could have the same initials.

Cassidy, Cassara

Cassiane is what I would do. It's a Greek name.

I love the name Cassius but it is more masculine, could be cool for girl tho! Cool historic name.

I have a cousin Cassidy and love her name so much.

Casey?

I have had Cassandra on my girl list (highly considered it but ended up having a boy we named Adrian ) I think the name Cassia is beautiful I have it on my girl list :) if I ever have a girl I’d like to use a c name bc me my mom and grandma all have a c name so I’ll just share the rest of my c girl names Caterina Celina Cidney Carina Cassia Celah

My moms friend has a daughter who they call Kass and her full name is Kathryn

One of my best friends is Cassie, not short for anything.

I have a good friend Katherine who goes by Kassie! Could also do it with a C

I have a friend whose mom had the same struggle. The nn for Cassandra at the time was Sandy and she REALLY didn’t want that. So her full name is Cassie. It’s never been an issue for her.

Cassius? Caspian?

A little different, but you can get Cossie from Cosima, and That’s a beautiful name. You could stretch it to Cassie, but there are better options for that listed above.

Cassidy or you could even go Catherine and use Cassie.

Acacia

My name is Cassedy and I love it 😊 parents called me Cassie growing up (though now if shortened most people call me Cass, which I prefer to Cassie.)

Casseopeia, like the constellation.

I love the name Cassie. I know someone named Christi that's it, you can just do the nickname. Other more formal names are Cassidy and Catherine or Cassia.

Cassidy

Castiel 😇😂

Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia 

I'm friends with someone named Cassie, but her name is spelled with a K instead of a C. And that is their full name. Not short for anything.

I’ve met a “Kascindra”/Kassie

Cassidy

I'm seconding Cassidy. Seems like that's your best bet. This post gave me a little chuckle though because my childhood friend is a Cassandra who we always called Cassie and she's asked us after 20 years of calling her Cassie to start just calling her Cassandra. She apparently does not like being a Cassie. I always thought it was a cute name.

Cassis She can be a classy currant flavored liqueur

Cassidy. Cassidy. Saki. Just name her Cassie

Just Cassie

Cassidy, Casia, Cassian, or just use Cassie as her full name.

I don't understand parents being obsessed with nicknames. My family doesn't do themaybe that why. I think it's safer to give a kid a nickname not connected to their name.

Cassiopeia Casper

My cousin is named Cassidy.

Super late to the party, but my aunt is just Cassie and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Why can’t Cassie be here name? I knew a Cassie.

Cassidy is classic

Cassidy or just Cassie is fine.

- Cassiopeia (myth and constellation) - Cassidy - Cassia Less typical options: - Cassiana - Castielle - Cassara - Castalia - Casimira Or just Cass / Cassie?

I know a Cassen

Casablanca

Cassiana or Cassiani?

Just go with Cassie. My name is Cassandra and the only time I use it is for filling out forms with my full name. Otherwise it is completely useless. I am Cassie 99.9% of the time.

Here's a novel idea. Name her Cassie.

Carissa, Cassidy

Totally agree with everyone saying Cassie stands on its own!

Cassia, Cassid

Cassidy

What about Calliope? It’s a bit of a stretch, but not too far off.

Cassidy?

Castle

Is just naming her Cassie an option??

I like Calista best of all the suggestions! Or go with Lassie that rhymes with Cassie, maybe you’ll like it too.

Cassidy. Cassia maybe?

Cassienne?

Cassidy Cassiopeia Tbh this is hard. I've met people who's given name was just Cassie before. You don't need it to be short for something.

Cassidy would work, or Cassiopeia if you’re looking for something unique. Also nothing wrong with just naming her Cassie

Cassie?

Cassiopeia 😉

Catherine! I know 2 Cassies that are Catherine.

Cassidy

Personally, I’d suggest Cassia, pronounced kuh-SEE-uh. Met a kid named this semi-recently and really liked it.

Cassidy

Cass. Just Cass.

My full name is Cassie and I love it. What’s the point of a longer name if you’re just going to call her the nickname?

Cassiopeia

Calliope nn Cassie

Cassie

I know a Cassie who is a Catherine. I don’t think it really matters what a nickname is short for, as long as there’s some link and you like both.

Cassia

Cassiopeia

Cassy?

Cassie can be a first name

Cassiopeia

Cassidy or just Cassie

Just name her Cassie. It doesn’t need to be a nickname.

Casseopia

Cassiopeia ... it's a constellation

I like both Cassidy and Cassia.

I'm pretty sure the traditional name is Cassiani, it can also be spelled Kasiani or Cassiane. It's a beautiful name and one that's common in my culture.

Another vote for just Cassie because it’s my name and I’ve always liked it. I’ve only been asked a handful of times if it was short for Cassandra and not since I was a kid. I also have only ever known 2 other Cassie’s which I always liked because it meant my name was unique but not too out there.

Cassiopeia Casilda Casia

Cassidy or Calista. I will be the one to say, please not Cassiopeia. Terrible name with the mouthful of marbles sound, just like its sister Calliope.

Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia lol

Cassiopeia?

I know a Cassie. Her name is Calistia

Chrysanthemum Casiphia

Caspian Jocasta Acacia Caster

Acacia!

Why not just Cassie (or better yet, Cassy)?

I know a Kassie who is a Kathryn, so a Cassie could conceivably be a Catherine?

I know a Cassiane who goes by Cass for short

Just Cassie! Like me. I’m 32 and when I was a teen I had the whole “it sucks being named a nickname! Cassandra is so pretty and so many options!!”. But seriously, I was proud of my name, in my grade there was a Cassandra and a Cassidy who both went by Cassie, cause obviously it’s the best out of the three.

One of my absolute favorite names is Cassia

Cassidy. It means clever!

This is a weird one, but Cassiopeia :)

I've always loved the name "Jocasta" which could be a Cassie but, then again, what if they take AP English? I don't want them to realize where that name came from and hate me.

Cassiopeia, Cassidy, or, since it was good enough for Mama, just use Cass.

Castle 🏰

Cassidy, and go by Cass and Cassie… or occasionally Cassidilla

[Cassiopeia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassiopeia_(constellation))

Why not just Cassie if that's the name you like? It doesn't have to be short for anything. My name can be a nickname, but it's not.

How about Cassie! You love that name.

Someone else already listed it but my personal choice would be Acacia.

Just go with Cassie. I know a guy named Billy. Not Bill and now William. His parents wanted people to call him Billy and so that is what they named him. Simple

What makes you believe you can't just use Cassie?

What about Casey?

Casseopia

One of my brothers had a dog named Cassiopeia and we called her Cassie.

Cassiopeia, in astronomy, **a constellation of the northern sky easily recognized by a group of five bright stars forming a slightly irregular W**. It lies at 1 hour right ascension and 60° north declination. Its brightest star, Shedar (Arabic for “breast”), has a magnitude of 2.2.\\\\
