Good day everyone.
My second child is due at the end of [name_u]March[/name_u]. After our firstborn boy [name_u]Maxime[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Cyril[/name_m], we are going to have a girl! We are pretty excited and already can’t wait to meet her. While with our firstborn’s name we went a bit back to my husband german origins, we have decided to abandon it to go back to my origin. I am of italian descents and so we thought we could go for a latin name.
Our remaining 3 choices are [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] for it sound. It’s short and beautiful and very classy. [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] could relate to my name, [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], as they’re both names of Goddesses.
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] is the Italian translation of both [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], the Arthurian heroine, and the city of [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] in Switzerland. But it’s been a favorite in [name_f]Italy[/name_f] lately and it’s pretty common. My husband likes it more than me to be honest.
So My question is: which one would you prefer and could you maybe add some middle name suggestions to go with it? We haven’t thought about middle names at all but we have agreed on putting just one.
Thank you so much in advance for the help and have a nice day.
I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]!

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Peridot[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], too! It’s a bit more up-to-date than [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], in my opinion.
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f] ([name_f]Juno[/name_f] is a [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess, too)
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Nova[/name_f]
I vote [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] as a first name for the same reasons you like it, and [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] is a great middle because it has a connection to you (as a goddess name) and is unique and gives the whole name a nice balance.
I love the idea of [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] and [name_u]Maxime[/name_u]!! So sweet sounding, and I love the nickname [name_f]Minny[/name_f] 
I agree (except I prefer [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] to [name_f]Minny[/name_f]) because whilst [name_u]Maxime[/name_u] and [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] have different origins they sound similar, but not uncomfortably so.
It’s 1) [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], 2) [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], 3) [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] for me, but you can’t really go wrong. They’re all lovely!
I like the suggestion of [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f].

I love the idea of [name_u]Maxime[/name_u] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]. What lush unexpected names. It’s beautiful.
I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]! For middle names:

[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]! It is such a pretty name!
I see how [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] is appealing though, as a way to honour yourself, although I slightly prefer [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f].
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] knocks both [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] out of the water. (In my humble opinion).
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there!
My name is [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] so I thought I could weigh in with my experience - since it is a pretty uncommon name. I absolutely love my name. I am 21 years old. When I was younger my family called me [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], and then I was called [name_u]Cass[/name_u] through sports and now I am usually just [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]!
I would say that every third time or so that I introduce myself I am met with the reply - “That is a beautiful name”. It is similar enough to many more common names, so I rarely have pronunciation trouble. I’m not sure where you live but here in [name_f]Canada[/name_f], at least, it’s approchable but still unique and classy! Anyways - I have has such a positive experience with my name I would love your daughter to have the same opportunity!
From your style I like:
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_u]Lior[/name_u]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Lore[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Therese[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Silke[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] are both beautiful! I like Minrva too, but not as much.
I’m voting for [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]. So lovely.
I love [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]. Gorgeous!
I like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] first, and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] second.
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] has an unfortunate personal connection for me - it was the surname of a humorless and prudish teenage babysitter that we had a couple of times as a child.
[name_f]Susan[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]!!! So perfect, especially with [name_u]Maxime[/name_u].
I love Ginevra! [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] would be such a cute nickname! 
I think [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] is my favorite and fits best with [name_u]Maxime[/name_u] stylistically. [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] would be next fav.
I think they’re all really great names, but Ginevra, in my opinion, is the best. Some nice middle names would be:
Ginevra Fawn
Ginevra Grace
Ginevra Ruth
Ginevra René
Ginevra Rose
Ginerva Seraphina
Ginevra Mercy
Ginevra Joy
Ginevra Violet
Ginevra Ivy
Ginevra Skye
Ginevra Rain
Ginevra May
Ginevra Rue
Ginevra Sterling
Ginevra Starla
Ginevra Eva
Out of the three, [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] is the prettiest in my opinion. Not a fan of “er” names for girls. [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] is interesting, but just sounds like an attempt at a newer, spunkier version of [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f].
What pronunciation of [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] do you like?
