Cressida or Cassandra?

Ok this is not very important, I’m just looking for opinions between the two. I’ve loved [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] forever but I’ve recently come across [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]. They both sound a lot alike to me and I can’t decide between the two.
Basically which do you prefer and why?
Thanks!

I don’t know why, but [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]’s never appealed to me. I think because I’ve known a few from school, and was never overly close with any of them. [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] is lovely!

I am not a massive fan of either but I do prefer [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f].

I just think [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] is a sweeter choice I also really like [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] as a nickname. Whereas the natural nickname of [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] I’m assuming is Cressy which isn’t as pretty as [name_f]Cassie[/name_f].

I definitely prefer [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]. [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] feels very dated to me and I just prefer the sound of [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] in general.

Cressida is gorgeous! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Cressida is gorgeous, powerful, literary, celestial (a moon of Uranus) and unique. Stunning!

Cassandra is beautiful, strong, energetic and has lots of good nicknames. But it doesn’t sounds as fresh as [name_f]Cressida[/name_f].

Cassandra.
Cassida reminds me of a fancy crust.

I prefer [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]! It feels a tiny bit fresher than [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f].

Cressida :slightly_smiling_face:

I like [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]! That’s a name that I loved a lot in middle school/high school and I think it sounds so nice!

I adore [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]. It sounds so elegant and golden

Cressida sounds like conceited.

Same here. And I agree exactly with what @tori101 said about them both after the above, too. :slight_smile:

Cressida. I don’t know why, but it just sounds exciting to me.

Cressida sounds sorta villainous and just not nice to me. I love [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] though!

Cressida as a complete name, but I do like [name_f]Cassie[/name_f]/Cass as a shorter name, so it’s hard to choose.

What nicknames would work for [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]?

Definitely [name_f]Cressida[/name_f].

Cassandra feels decidedly dated to me.

I prefer [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]. I like the sound better, it’s very pleasant to my ear. Though I’m not into the nickname [name_f]Cassie[/name_f]/Cassy/Cassi.

I’ve really tried to come around on [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] but I’m just not a big fan.

I want to prefer [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], but when I say it loud it doesn’t sound like a name to me! I guess [name_m]Sid[/name_m] could be a nickname?

I ADORE [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], it’s my favorite, I am gutted that my DH doesn’t like it. He does like [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] though. I like both, but I LOVE [name_f]Cressida[/name_f] so much!
