Trying to think of middle name possibilities for these two names. Clea would be pronunced CLEE-ya (rather than CLAY-ah) and Cassandra would be cah-SAHN-dra (rather than cah-SAAN-dra with the AA as in "attic"). Which of these do you like best? Least? Why?
Cassandra Tansy
Cassandra Phyllis
Cassandra Joan
Cassandra Janis
Cassandra Miette
Cassandra Silence
Cassandra Topaz (which I wouldn't use, since it'd be MUCH too themey, of course)
Clea Thisbe
Clea Parmelia
Clea Alexandrine
Clea Faustina
Clea Hazel
Clea Melisande
I think that for Cassandra, I like two-syllable names with the stress on the first syllable. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble thinking of interesting ones I like. Any suggestions?
Oh, and do you think that I'd be a pain in the butt for insisting on calling a girl cah-SAHN-dra rather than cah-SAAN-dra? That's the pronunciation I prefer, and the name would be after Cassandra Mortmain, who would have pronunced it that way. However, it's not the standard pronunciation in the US, and since I would try to avoid nicknames, it could be a pain.
