Hello Berries,
So I have decided to add [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] as a first name to my list. [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] was previously a middle name for [name_m]Asher[/name_m].
What are some middle names for [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and for [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]?
Also, what do you think of the name [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]? What image do you have when you hear [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]? any middle name suggestions?
Thanks so much!
Hmm…how many syllables is the last name and what letter does it start with? Also, how would you describe your naming style? 
Thanks for the response. [name_f]My[/name_f] style for boys is more classic/vintage. [name_f]My[/name_f] style for girls is classic with more romantic middle names. I am single and not expecting. In the future, when I do have kids, I will probably use my husband’s last name. So, I have no idea what my future last name will be.
Any others?
Cool! I like romantic and vintage names as well! [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] makes me think of a Greek goddess and astronomy (I blame this on both the names [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] and [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] lol)

For the most part, I’m a big believer in not having matchy-matchy names whether it’s alliterative ([name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_m]Moore[/name_m]) or syllabic ([name_m]Dave[/name_m] [name_m]Matt[/name_m] [name_m]Hill[/name_m]). I like the letters and syllables to be varied to keep the name interesting. I think [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], being 9 letters long and pretty classic, would be best paired with a shorter and more modern middle name to balance it. [name_m]Asher[/name_m] is one of those names that is very timeless and it’s an average 5-letters long. It can go with trendier and classic middle names or shorter and longer middle names and still sound great. [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] is such a beautiful and unique name that I think a more classic middle name really grounds it. Of course, I’m a romantic so I like the prettier middle names as well. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my opinion! I’m no expert. I just like what I like
Thank you for the response! I quite like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] as a middle name), [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] dawn, [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_u]West[/name_u], and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m]

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] is one of my all time favorite names. I would love to use it one day, but my fear is of the nickname [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] (which I hate).

I am an ardent fan of the name [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]. So far my little one has had genuinely positive reactions to her name-- it’s quite uncommon and unfamiliar, but it’s been easy to pronounce and ‘grasp’ when spoken aloud. A lot of people have told me unsolicitedly that it’s “beautiful” and “a fairy princess name” (which actually wasn’t the vibe I was going for, I was hoping for classical / Byzantine / stately, but there you go). It works well with [name_m]French[/name_m] middles where the stress falls on the 2+ syllable. I chose [name_f]Viviane[/name_f] for her, but thought many others ([name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Cecile[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvaine[/name_f], [name_f]Sandrine[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f], [name_f]Solenne[/name_f], etc) worked well.
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is stately and dignified, and the nn [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is adorable.
I don’t care as much for [name_m]Asher[/name_m] unless it has cultural significance for you, but it’s becoming a modern classic chosen by families of all stripes. It has a nice meaning and fits in well with the rash of occupational names ending in -er.
