I see
Cassandra as more formal and exotic.
Susannah is more earthy and comfortable, but I like them both. I also like
Cassia (CASS-ee-a) (a kind of spice) and Cassava (ca-SAH-vah)(a type of plant) as similar sounding variants of
Cassandra, and I like the nns
Cass and
Cassie.
I like
Susannah a lot, as well as many related names:
Susanna,
Sanna,
Sanne,
Shoshana,
Suzana, and
Zuzana.
Which one I picked would depend on the ln, sibling names, and whichever quality I hoped for in a child: the more unusual and divaesque
Cassandra, or the more comfortable and sweet
Susannah.
