Cassander & Cadmus

Name Advice
1

Largely for fun, because they’re two of the main characters in a story I’m writing, but also because I really like them, and could see myself using them, I have a few questions about [name_m]Cassander[/name_m] and [name_m]Cadmus[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

One, middle names, what would you put as middle names for both of them? Combinations with one, and two middles are welcome.

[name_f][/name_f]

Two, what would you name a sibling? Mostly needing a sister, but boys names are welcome too. Preferably keeping the C theme.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Three[/name_m], how usable are these in real life individually? How usable as a set, despite the shared initials? I’m located in the United States if that helps the decision making.

Please answer kindly. Thanks in advance.

[name_m]Cadmus[/name_m]: uncommon but usable. It’s short, easy to spell, and recognisable from mythology, even if many people won’t have heard it before.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Cassander[/name_m]: also rare but quite usable. It has familiar sounds (similar to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or Cassandra), so most people will be able to say and spell it without too much trouble.

[name_f][/name_f]

Together as a sibling set, they feel cohesive and intentional. [name_m]The[/name_m] shared initial isn’t really a problem, many real families use the same initial for siblings. [name_m]The[/name_m] main thing is simply that both names are distinctive.
