I think people are being too harsh. People use word names all the time. Cashmere has comforting and precious connotations.

---

Also it can be considered an alternate spelling of Kashmir, which is a place, or an anglicization of Casimir/Kasimira, etc.

---

I wouldn't mind meeting a Cashmere, but I think I prefer Kashmir personally.

I guess they don’t have Cashmere toilet paper where you live? It’s probably regional.

When people name their children after luxury products, it always sounds cheap.

All I can think of is the Hunger Games character. Far to associated with the book and movie.

Cash + mere

That's all I can see. The sounds aren't bad, though.

---

Casimir and Casimira are much better.

Why not?

Silly. As silly as naming someone Mohair or Angora.

I like how it sounds, but not good as a name. I'd suggest Kasimira.

Love the sound, but it isn’t good as a name.

Makes me think of Seinfeld: Cashmere, Cashmere, Cashmere Georgie! ......What’s this? *notices red dot*

Terrible

Cashmere, nn Merry? Flannel, nn Nelly? Worsted, nn Ted? Anything's possible, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

too Hunger Games

Why not Merino since we’re at it? Or Cotton and Polyester?

I think I prefer Pashmina. Cashmere does have an all right sound to it, but I prefer it spelled Kashmir, that's very nice.

I made a list of all the nameworthy fabric types once.... I remember Briolette, Batiste, Broderie, Zibeline.... Oh, I love the way Damask looks, but it's too close to "dumbass" to really work. Chintz is kinda fun. And Twill!

I know it's the fabric, but gosh, it is not catchy at all. All I can think of is a sweater.
