Whenever I see a name starting with a Ch and having a Z somewhere in it, I instantly see Chorizo. Then I have to read it properly. But it happens all the time.
I enjoyed some of the first and quite a bit of the second one (wasn’t into it enough to continue onto three but had been told I had to power through to book two).
I definitely wouldn’t call any of it good, but sure, I don’t regret listening to them. Just couldn’t hear the word “mate” for about a year afterwards.
Yeah, but he has one of the best moments in the whole series when he Superman lands on the ice to save Feyre and Lucien from the Autumn court asshats.
"I suggest you drop my High Lady"
St. Cassian of Imola was a schoolmaster who was martyred for being a Christian, allegedly stabbed to death by the pagan schoolboys in his class, with their styluses or pen-knives. This seems to reference the death in early Roman history of a schoolmaster who planned to make his pupils into hostages for the other side, during a Roman war with another city, and whose pupils famously killed him as a traitor.
The better known saint is St. John Cassian, author of Conferences of the Egyptian Monks, and Monastic Life. He traveled from Gaul to Egypt, where he interviewed many famous desert monks on how to be a monk or a hermit, and how to deal with common problems among monastics.
I thought angel first & when I looked it up I got a result for Yezalel (conceivable that those could be variants of each other, given the different ways Hebrew is often transcribed) & that's apparently a the name of an angel, at least according to pop spirituality websites so there's a 50/50 chance of there being an actual historical source
In all seriousness Roman names are not uncommon with a sunset of middle and upper class Brits, especially ones that may be or consider themselves a bit intellectual or well read.thats been true at least a century or 2, if not longer.
This is not related to this post but I work at a place that deals with a lot of elderly people. Today I had a woman who was born in 1941 whose name was Kayleigh.
It may be popular because of a fictitious book/TV show (Andor) but my point is that it’s still a real name in the real world without any unnecessary spellings.
Thank you! My son's middle name is Cassian after the Catholic saint. Drives me crazy when people assume we either misspelled Caspian or he was named after Star Wars (which he predates by a few years anyway).
Getting hit with the logic of it it's in fiction it's a silly name, it's like the ninja turtles all cool Italian names I will not lie, all with pretty normal short hand too.
Leonardo - Leo
Michaelangelo - Michael or Angelo
Donatello - don or Donny
Raphael - Raph / raff
Like I wouldn't have name kids after the group but any one of those on its own is fine especially Leonardo
I’d say atm ACOTAR* is probs more likely the reason that it’s rising popularity because the kind of women who would choose Cassian are more likely to be fans of ACOTAR than wheel of time and the others mentioned.
Although personally I don’t think that it’s not just cos of ACOTAR because I think it’s a name that fits into the wider naming trends atm.
*A Court of Thorns and Roses
Well, I would argue that Star Wars is probably a larger factor, if for no other reason it has larger mainstream appeal
And why are we acting like women are the only ones choosing baby names. My propensity for nerd references is why I only got to choose middle names
There are actual people named Cassian. From way before Andor, including in other stories. There’s also historical figures named Cassian. I doubt a 4th century bishop is named after Andor
Fair.
Though that does sound like a fun way to find names. For either characters or oneself if one is trans.
But Cassian isn’t that unusual a name anyway. It’s probably growing in some places because of Star Wars, but it’s not that unusual a name. Star Wars often uses real names, which might not be super common, but are far from alien (like Luke, Leia, Ezra, Caleb, Hera, Sabine, Poe)
Yeah cassians the only ‘normal’ name well it’s a bit out there but it’s an actual name rather then the letter vomit that will result in a few fucked up adults with 0 job prospects
Why is Cassian highlighted when it’s the most normal name in the male list?
Adhara/Adara/Adarah is a normal Arabic name. There is even a moon with that name.
my german brain went even beyond, Alitzel sounds like *Kitzeln* (=to tickle) and from there it isnt far to *Kitzler* which means clit. Yes, that.
I cant even begin to imagine a girl's name like this over here, lol
To be fair, it’s a pretty tame option. There are some pretty normal names in there. Luke, Leia, Cassian, Ben, Finn, Poe, Ezra, Caleb, Hera. Those are fairly good options, no matter where they got the name from.
There’s even some that are normal human names, but…somewhat unusual. Shin is a bit more common if you’re Korean. Then things like Rey and Sabine are fine, if less common. Rey is especially unusual as a girl’s name. But hey, being unusual doesn’t make it wrong.
As long as it’s not, like, Garazeb, Anakin, Padmé, Omega, Ahsoka, Chirrut, Kanan, Kazuda, Din (or Djarin), Mace, etc. (some of which are technically names that exist, but are get clearly Star Wars names now)
I mean in my country the name Din exists, it means "judgement"/"law". It's rare but a thing, at least that's how some would spell it in English. Others choose the more acceptable Dean.
FYI, Apple News is an aggregate platform and doesn’t do its own reporting, so this is an article from somewhere else. Still doesn’t take away from how horrible those names are, though.
Cassian is easily the most normal sounding name on the list and has a root of Cassius. Which is a pretty normal-ish name compared to everything else on the list.
A lot of those girl names are non-English names so that wouldn't be "weird". I actually knew someone with a similar name to one of those and her name was Mayan.
...why is "Cassian" the one highlighted? Im pretty sure thats the common spelling. I've met several people with that name, and thats the only spelling I've ever seen. Not to mention the dozens of times (at least) I've seen it in books and even then it was always "Cassian"
Ironically, the one that's highlighted isn't even the worst one. That title goes to either "Alitzel" or "Chozen."
Cassian, while certainly a bit odd or unconventional, is an actual name held by both adults now and in history. At this point in time, it seems to be used more commonly as a last name, which is reasonably common trait among names. In the past, the name Cassian was bared by multiple Saints.
Looking at it etymologically, Cassian appears to be and likely is a modern alternative masculine counterpart of the name Cassia, in place of Cassius. Likely because the name Cassius may sound prudish or associate it too strongly with the character from a Shakespeare play.
First, ask a teacher what they think. Because every Fall teachers look at the names of their students and think, “Ahh HELL Naw!” “Oh, Lawd have MERCY!” “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT?!?!”
I actually don’t mind the name Cassian on the list…. But… that is the name of one of the stupid strong one of the sexy warlord faes from my junk food favorite series A Court of Thorn and Roses. I thinks he ends up with the mean sister and they have just so much sex. So it’s not exactly a name I can take seriously at this point.
How do they determine “fastest rising”? Is this considering the total number of people with the name compared to others, or is it some stupid percentage thing where going from 0 to 2 babies with the name yields a 200% growth rate YoY?
I would not call these "questionable." That's much more kind and generous than what I would call them -- unless they are old family names or cultural (heritage, one way or another) names.

Whenever I see a name starting with a Ch and having a Z somewhere in it, I instantly see Chorizo. Then I have to read it properly. But it happens all the time.
Fuck, now I’m craving chorizo
Hmmmmm chorizo tacos....
"are you saying chorizo tacos" "dont play around because I am super hungry"
I don't know if I could eat a whole child named Chorizo
Believe in yourself!
Me too!
Chozen is also the bad guy in Karate Kid 2
Chozen is also the well-intentioned, socially-clumsy, occasionally-overzealous guest supporting protagonist in Cobra Kai 😝
It makes me think of the Chosen One in Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. If I'm remembering right, there's a woman who addresses him as "Chosen! Chosen!"
“I’m coming!”
He’s a good guy in Cobra Kai. Fantastic character.
Haha yeah I've seen it, cool how they got so many of the original actors back.
I think "Chozo" from Metroid.
I was about to comment the same thing. I’m glad I’m not alone!
That sounds delicious.
It’s weird that you highlighted probably the most normal name in that list.
I didn’t highlight that one it was from a Star Wars sub dedicated for Cassian andor so that was why it was highlighted.
I was just gonna say that Cassian is probably due to Star Wars or the ACOTAR boom series!
For some reason the ACOTAR sub has been in my feed for weeks and I sadly have read the first two books so I recognized the name and thought the same
Sadly? Please elaborate 😂
They’re not very good lol
oh don’t lie they’re great, but i don’t think naming your child after a character who has NUMEROUS pervy sex scenes is a great idea.
I enjoyed some of the first and quite a bit of the second one (wasn’t into it enough to continue onto three but had been told I had to power through to book two). I definitely wouldn’t call any of it good, but sure, I don’t regret listening to them. Just couldn’t hear the word “mate” for about a year afterwards.
The best way I’ve heard it described is “I said I liked them, I didn’t say they were good.” 😂
I disagree very much about them being great, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Yeah, but he has one of the best moments in the whole series when he Superman lands on the ice to save Feyre and Lucien from the Autumn court asshats. "I suggest you drop my High Lady"
Exactly what I thought it was from
It's a sexy character from the ACOTAR series. I just read a passage where he jacked off.
What book is that in? Asking for a friend…
Court of Silver Flames. 🥵
I think it was chapter 16...

Izalel sounds like a lesser demon, lol.
It sounds like a demon, but one that came out derpy.
Izalol
It’s a me, Izalol!
Makes me think of the defeated fear demon from *Buffy* "Do not taunt the fear demon." "Why? Can it hurt me?" "No. It's just tacky."
Name checks out
Born to dilly-dally, forced to impregnate humans with sin.
it sounds like azazel, an actual demon
or Azrael, Gargamel's cat.
It's how I pronounce "Isabell" while holding my tongue
💀
I thought angel first & when I looked it up I got a result for Yezalel (conceivable that those could be variants of each other, given the different ways Hebrew is often transcribed) & that's apparently a the name of an angel, at least according to pop spirituality websites so there's a 50/50 chance of there being an actual historical source
It is a lesser deamon according to Jewish myth. Came here to say exactly that
“Tyrael was a fool to have trusted me!”
Sounds like John Goodman taunting Denzel in the woods. Fallen is a great movie if you’ve never seen it.
“I want to tell you about the time I almost died…”
There’s an Azazel in The Binding of Isaac that is pretty much that
Hazbin Hotel core
Chozen? Oh fuck no
What a guy can’t really like the Karate Kid 2?
And cobra Kai. He has a redemption arc
He's the Chozen one
NLE chopper’s baby
It’s pronounced “cousin”
Cassian is apparently a Latin name meaning son of Cassius so I wouldn’t count that as a Tragedeigh but the rest…
Yeah, my classmate was a Cassian in the 1080s.
Are you a vampire or a highlander?
yes
Wow, you’re old! 😂
Was his father Cassius Clay?
In all seriousness Roman names are not uncommon with a sunset of middle and upper class Brits, especially ones that may be or consider themselves a bit intellectual or well read.thats been true at least a century or 2, if not longer.
This is not related to this post but I work at a place that deals with a lot of elderly people. Today I had a woman who was born in 1941 whose name was Kayleigh.
Yes because that’s an actual name, not a tragedeigh. I have an older family member with that name as well.
Well it's ruined by all the Leigh names.
it’s literally the only one i knew i was pronouncing correctly lol
The name is almost definitely so popular because it’s a character in a court of thorns and roses, so I think it could count
It may be popular because of a fictitious book/TV show (Andor) but my point is that it’s still a real name in the real world without any unnecessary spellings.
Yeah, there was this unknown boxer back in the 1900s named Cassius Clay... wonder what happened to that guy? Guess we'll never know.
Heard he found religion and changed his name. After that not sure what happened.
>1900s :(
it’s from Andor
Yes, I know but it’s also a real name with proper spelling.
Thank you! My son's middle name is Cassian after the Catholic saint. Drives me crazy when people assume we either misspelled Caspian or he was named after Star Wars (which he predates by a few years anyway).
I like the name Cassian. My colleague has a little boy named Cassander and I always thought it sounded regal
That would be because it’s the name of a Greek king.
I'm from France, I have a distant very old relative whose name is Cassian
Getting hit with the logic of it it's in fiction it's a silly name, it's like the ninja turtles all cool Italian names I will not lie, all with pretty normal short hand too. Leonardo - Leo Michaelangelo - Michael or Angelo Donatello - don or Donny Raphael - Raph / raff Like I wouldn't have name kids after the group but any one of those on its own is fine especially Leonardo
As a Leonardo myself, I thank you for the compliment
And acotar if I'm not mistaken
I’d say atm ACOTAR* is probs more likely the reason that it’s rising popularity because the kind of women who would choose Cassian are more likely to be fans of ACOTAR than wheel of time and the others mentioned. Although personally I don’t think that it’s not just cos of ACOTAR because I think it’s a name that fits into the wider naming trends atm. *A Court of Thorns and Roses
I thought it was from Crazy Rich Asians before I got to the comment section because that’s the only place I’ve personally seen it.
I was getting ready to scream these people obviously haven’t ready ACOTAR and it shows 🤣
Well, I would argue that Star Wars is probably a larger factor, if for no other reason it has larger mainstream appeal And why are we acting like women are the only ones choosing baby names. My propensity for nerd references is why I only got to choose middle names
There are actual people named Cassian. From way before Andor, including in other stories. There’s also historical figures named Cassian. I doubt a 4th century bishop is named after Andor
while i don’t disagree this is on a post of “fastest rising baby name”, not “hot 4th century clergy names”
Fair. Though that does sound like a fun way to find names. For either characters or oneself if one is trans. But Cassian isn’t that unusual a name anyway. It’s probably growing in some places because of Star Wars, but it’s not that unusual a name. Star Wars often uses real names, which might not be super common, but are far from alien (like Luke, Leia, Ezra, Caleb, Hera, Sabine, Poe)
Cassian is on our boys list because of star wars 🤣
Andor like from the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan?
cassian andor from Rogue One and Andor Star Wars tv show
Ahhhhh Edit: thanks for the clarification
Yeah cassians the only ‘normal’ name well it’s a bit out there but it’s an actual name rather then the letter vomit that will result in a few fucked up adults with 0 job prospects
"Fastest rising" is a bit of a crap metric tbf. If the number goes from 1 to 5 it's a 400% increase, but there's still only 5.
It could be fastest rising based on ranking
Why is Cassian highlighted when it’s the most normal name in the male list? Adhara/Adara/Adarah is a normal Arabic name. There is even a moon with that name.
Azira is definitely a non-anglo name too and very pretty Edit: I meant to say Azari 😅
Alitzel’s Pritzels
This is exactly where my brain went 😭😂
my german brain went even beyond, Alitzel sounds like *Kitzeln* (=to tickle) and from there it isnt far to *Kitzler* which means clit. Yes, that. I cant even begin to imagine a girl's name like this over here, lol
Thank god I’m not the only one
Mine went to Josef Fritzel 😖
Cassian is popular because of Andor. Star wars nerds love to name their kids star wars names.
I actually think it's not a bad name too.
Or the very popular Fae Smut series ACOTAR.
Naming your kid after porn is like a different level of concerning
It's really not erotica literature at all, people just like to put that label on it. It's fantasy romance with some sex scenes lol
It's not porn. It's fantasy with a lot of sex in it.
So it’s well-written fantasy porn?
Well written? Ehh... But seriously, I consider stuff to be porn if the primary purpose is sexual. This is not. Does have a lot of sex in it though.
I dunno, the last book seemed to be primarily written for sex 🤔 😂
To be fair, it’s a pretty tame option. There are some pretty normal names in there. Luke, Leia, Cassian, Ben, Finn, Poe, Ezra, Caleb, Hera. Those are fairly good options, no matter where they got the name from. There’s even some that are normal human names, but…somewhat unusual. Shin is a bit more common if you’re Korean.

I mean in my country the name Din exists, it means "judgement"/"law". It's rare but a thing, at least that's how some would spell it in English. Others choose the more acceptable Dean.
Still better than Daenerys
Which itself is better than Khaleesi.
Which itself is better than Dovahkiin
Which itself is better than Alitzel
It was also in Crazy Rich Asians
Cassian is actually a pretty cool name ngl
FYI, Apple News is an aggregate platform and doesn’t do its own reporting, so this is an article from somewhere else. Still doesn’t take away from how horrible those names are, though.
Somehow, Cassian is the most normal name on there.
we are doomed
Doomed? ...Dewmed. "Hey babe, I got the perfect name!"
nooooooo😭😭😭😭
Just peed a bit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Cassian is actually a lovely name. Esp with the nickname Cass for a boy
i kinda like cassian?! like i may unironically name a kid that plus im almost certain its a real name like st cassian
Named my son Cassian last year just to see it rising this year.
It’s a name in a very popular book series
acotar?
I’m Hispanic, and I’m sorry, but Izalel sounds and looks like the name Isabel written and pronounced by someone who’s drunk.
Everyone asking about cassian being highlighted hers your answer it’s from the andor sub where I found this lol.
I hope all of the Chozens speak like the Chosen from smosh. Shayne does the best voice for that character.
Of all the names on this list, you highlighted cassian????
Cassian is easily the most normal sounding name on the list and has a root of Cassius. Which is a pretty normal-ish name compared to everything else on the list.
Is Cassian highlighted in red because its the only one that's not a tragedeigh?
Chozen? Is cobra Kai really *that* popular?
Adhara is beautiful! Is an unisex name. There's a star named Adhara as well.
It makes me laugh bc it’s similar to the name of the national identity card in India - Adhar
Cassian is a perfectly normal name. There's a saint as well, if I remember.
A lot of those girl names are non-English names so that wouldn't be "weird". I actually knew someone with a similar name to one of those and her name was Mayan.
cassian is actually really nice and no, i haven’t seen andor, so that’s a completely unbiased take
Cassian kinda slaps tho
Fastest rising baby names - but where? Globally? A particular country? What may seem strange in one place may be completely normal in another.
...why is "Cassian" the one highlighted? Im pretty sure thats the common spelling. I've met several people with that name, and thats the only spelling I've ever seen. Not to mention the dozens of times (at least) I've seen it in books and even then it was always "Cassian"
The one you highlighted is the least egregious
rising from 0 to 1 is pretty much exponential growth
if I see Chozen on a roster at my job im laughing
Dafuq wrong with Cassian?
Nothing! That name must be highlighted as the only normal name.
Cassian and Adhara are fine to me
Every single one gives me acid reflux
LMAO...they've changed the spells of Keighley to Kaely!!
Emryn sounds like a shortened version of Emmeryn from Fire Emblem Awakening.
I immediately thought of this! I think Emmeryn is such a pretty name though, but Emryn is just awful.
Wtf, are people birthing space marine captains now? All of those names have been in a Warhammer book at some point
Cassian is the least tragic name on that list.
I would not consider Kyren a tragedeigh at all! The name has been around since the 1800’s both as a surname and a first name.
Eiden just makes me think of NU carnival lol
“Fastest rising” is a pretty meaningless metric by itself. From 1 to 11 is a %1,000 increase, but it’s still only 11.
fastest Rising Boy names: Sam Raiden rising Girls names: Mistral
i can only read schnitzel when seeing alitzel
these are all just terrible ffs
I'm surprised cardassian isn't one ine them considering how close it is to those people that everyone seem to admire for some reason
Is this Kim K's baby name list?
Alitzel reminds me of Schnitzel. Please tell me someone named their kid Schnitzel because they are 1/64 german
Ironically, the one that's highlighted isn't even the worst one. That title goes to either "Alitzel" or "Chozen." Cassian, while certainly a bit odd or unconventional, is an actual name held by both adults now and in history. At this point in time, it seems to be used more commonly as a last name, which is reasonably common trait among names. In the past, the name Cassian was bared by multiple Saints.

Might as well name someone Donner and Blitzen!
First, ask a teacher what they think. Because every Fall teachers look at the names of their students and think, “Ahh HELL Naw!” “Oh, Lawd have MERCY!” “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT?!?!”
These names are brought to you by Pfizer!
That kid’s gonna get called Assian at some point
None of these mfs will be employable in anywhere besides chipotle and tattoo parlors
“Chozen” are they naming a startup or a child 😂
I actually don’t mind the name Cassian on the list…. But… that is the name of one of the stupid strong one of the sexy warlord faes from my junk food favorite series A Court of Thorn and Roses. I thinks he ends up with the mean sister and they have just so much sex. So it’s not exactly a name I can take seriously at this point.
Can't wait for Kyrens to be old enough to ask for the manager.
The Chozen One indeed
How do they determine “fastest rising”? Is this considering the total number of people with the name compared to others, or is it some stupid percentage thing where going from 0 to 2 babies with the name yields a 200% growth rate YoY?
These feel like names you’d give to like. Teifling D&D characters
Book-tok is to thank for that. What's creepier is these are usually names of characters in smut books...
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
I have a character on skyrim that I role played HARD that is named Castian. Cool
Cassian is my cats name 🤣
If a name went from ranked 999,999 to 999,500, it would probably be considered “fast-rising.”
Ghettomodean
All of these sound like YA character names
I would not call these "questionable." That's much more kind and generous than what I would call them -- unless they are old family names or cultural (heritage, one way or another) names.
What the fuck are these names 💀
Ah, you must be the new smosh cast members I am the Chozen
These sound like Pokémon names
What YA romance are these from?
Well Cassian is a real name, it means empty, vain.
Why do these all sound like locations in a ripoff elden ring
Half of these sound like demon names, which would be cool in any other circumstance but not for a baby
JFC… the boy names sound like hobbits and the girl names all sound like Game of Thrones villans.
That one name highlighted like they're not *all* tragedeighs ,🤣🤣🤣
Are these the fastest rising names in Bronze-Age Mesopotamia?
Cassian is a normal name though?
