What are your thoughts on the name [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]? Would you say it’s unisex or feminine?
Any thoughts welcome, although I am in the UK so its popularity in the US in the 90s isn’t relevant here (stats say it was most popular in 1994 where it hit #203).
Thanks!
I don’t mind [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. I do see it as unisex, however, I suppose due to the usage on females being more common, I’d automatically assume a [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] to be female. That said, I would love/prefer to see/hear [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] on a male, with the nickname ‘[name_u]Cass[/name_u]’ - sounds really cool to me.
In theory I think of [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] as unisex, but I have only known girls named [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. I am in the U.S. and I like [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u].
I really like [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]!! It has such a sweet and bubbly rhythm to it and it feels like it could be versatile.
I see it as more feminine, and just for reference, in the UK, it was used 57 times for girls and 4 times for boys in 2017, if that helps in anyway!
Honestly, I love the name! It was really popular when I was in school but I wouldn’t say that puts me off of it, it’s just not really my style much anymore! I think it’s beautiful on other people’s children, but not my own, I guess I would say.
Thanks. I kinda like the idea on a male, I think of it as more feminine than masculine but a [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] nn [name_u]Cass[/name_u] on a male is really cool. I got the name from [name_m]Brian[/name_m] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] from [name_m]Law[/name_m] & Order: SVU who goes by [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], and it really works on him!
Thanks. I know it hit it off in the 90s on girls in the US, but despite being Irish, hasn’t really kicked off much here.
Thanks, [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I think it has that vibe too. Those stats are helpful, thank you, although that is such a low number but it goes to show which gender it leans to.
That makes sense, [name_u]Haley[/name_u], thanks! I know it was very much overused over there, but it’s a fresh name here (for lack of better word, I don’t personally know, nor know of, any Cassidys!)
I don’t mind [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], but it’s a pretty typical name where I’m from in the US. It feels late 1990s/early 2000s to me, as all the [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] I know are in their teens…personally, I’d group it in the same category as names such as [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], [name_m]Justin[/name_m], etc (not that that’s a bad thing!).
Although [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] wouldn’t be my first choice, I still think it’s bright has a strong vibe. I have always considered it more feminine than unisex, as every [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] I’m familiar with (in terms of first names) is female. My strongest association is with [name_m]Butch[/name_m] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u], which has always been a negative for me, but if you’re in the UK that shouldn’t matter.
I’ve never considered it unisex before because I’ve only heard it as feminine, but now that you suggest it for a boy, I really like that.
In fact, I think it’s more handsome as a male name than pretty as a female name!
I view it as unisex. I haven’t met anyone called [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] (in [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand)
I use to have it on my boys list as I think it has a rockstar sound, and I love the nn [name_m]Sid[/name_m] 
Unisex but I’ve only seen it on girls. [name_m]Cas/name_m goes either way imo.
I really like [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]! I have a [name_u]Cass[/name_u]- derivative name ([name_f]Cassia[/name_f]), and I still think that [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is unisex. I am from western [name_f]Canada[/name_f] where it’s a bit of a cowboy name- especially the nickname [name_u]Cass[/name_u] on a boy.
I think there has been a small resurgence in other [name_u]Cass[/name_u]- names for boys - [name_m]Cassian[/name_m], [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Caspar[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] that might help [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] seem a little more unisex to those who follow names. I am guessing it would read more feminine to most people though.
I do see it as a unisex name but I’ve only ever known girls with that name - in fact, I was almost named [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. I like it on both but if I were to use it, it would be on a girl! Although, I do like the nickname [name_u]Cass[/name_u] on a boy…
I find [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] to be a bit blah on a girl, but I would love to hear it on a boy; it kind of has a cowboy vibe to me. I love the nickname [name_u]Cass[/name_u].
I am in the Western US and I have known two people named [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. One is a teenage girl and the other is a man in his early 30s. It’s funny that [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is associated with cowboys because that is the nickname of the male [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] I know. If I were to hear the name randomly without context I probably would assume the person being discussed is female, but it would be nice to have a more even distribution.
I think of it as unisex and associate it with [name_u]Shaun[/name_u] and [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] and [name_f]Kathie[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_m]Gifford[/name_m]'s daughter. I thought of [name_m]Butch[/name_m] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] as well. I think it is a good time to return it to the boys.
I would think of it as unisex, but definitely leaning towards feminine, as the only Cassidys I have met are girls.
I think it would be sweet on boys though!! 
I live in the UK.
Thank you for the feedback! I love how cool it sounds on a boy (especially with nn [name_u]Cass[/name_u] or even [name_m]Cash[/name_m]), but I think I prefer it on a girl. I love how it isn’t used much here, I’ve never come across one but I’ve come across a few Americans called this on TV shows and the alike. But it doesn’t feel bleh to me like [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] or [name_u]Riley[/name_u] do on either gender.
