Do you prefer Cassandra pronounced with the "sandra" or "sawndra" pronounciation?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] with the cuh-sand-druh pronunciation or [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] with the cuh-sawn-druh pronunciation?

I’d naturally pronounce it cass-arn-druh (arn like arm with an n)

Definitelly sand-rah. Considering it’s a Greek name that’s the more ‘‘correct’’ pronunciation as well!

I like [name_m]Cas[/name_m]-sand-rah!

Cuh-sand-druh. :slight_smile:

Cuh-san-druh

cuh-sandra

I’d pronounce it cuh-sarn-druh . But I’ve heard it as cass-an-druh and cuh-san-dra too. Never cuh-sawn-druh.

I prefer Ca-sand-ra

Sand.
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t like the saund/sawnd pronunciation

Cuh-sand-ruh. I’m in the US.

I went to school with two girls with both these pronunciations. The one Cuh-sand-druh spelled it this way, [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]. Cuh-sawn-druh spelled it [name_f]Cassondra[/name_f]. Two slightly different names in my experience.

I say it more like cass-sarn-druh, middle syllable like a in “father”

Definitely cuh-san-druh.

Cass-[name_f]Sandra[/name_f] is how I pronounce it and I like it!

I would say kuh-SAN-druh. Maybe it’s a regional thing but I have genuinely never heard [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] pronounced with the “sawn” sound.

I agree that [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] is cas-sand-ruh and [name_f]Cassondra[/name_f] is cas-awnd-rah. [name_f]Cassondra[/name_f] is actually really pretty and interesting. But to answer your question I would say [name_m]Cas[/name_m]-sand-ruh for [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]. Unfortunately I dont have very positive associations with [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] - wish I did!
