Help[Opinions] Question for people who like Cassian
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
Do you say CASS-ee-an or CASH-an? Would it be difficult to use it in the 3-syllable form without people thinking it was the two-syllable version?

Three syllables. I also say Cassius as three syllables.
I think, at least in the US, the Rogue One movie makes Cassian more likely to be pronounced as CASS-ee-an.

Three syllables.
I honestly would not give a rip if people said it Cash-un. Eventually they'd either catch on, or else look stupid - it doesn't touch Cassian.

...I've never heard of "cash-an" as a pronunciation option before... and I don't like it. I say "cass-ee-an".
I'm not surprised some may pronounce it cash-an, though, as it's similar to Alicia in that way; I say "a-lee-see-ah" over "a-lesh-ah". I'm just not a fan of the slurring sounds I guess. It think this is a British vs American thing (though with Alicia Keys the non-British pronunciation has become more common because Alicia was never a super common name and it seems to have been overwritten :V ...)

I would say it as CASS-ee-an, though both forms are useable. I don’t really think anyone would mistake it as CASH-an, though.
