  It's gone over to the girls side.  IRL I only know girls named Cassidy.  The only time I've seen it for a boy is on the tv show Veronica Mars.

  Only as a last name - David Cassidy.

  The only Cassidy I know is a girl... I don't think I'd name a boy this

  Sorry.

  It sounds like a girls name to me. How about Cassius?

  Is this really a boy turned girl name? I had no idea it was ever used on boys. The only Cassidys I know are girls.

  I know a boy named Cassidy - I don't think it sounds girly and he certainly wasn't picked on in school.

  Not a fan at all. Good thing names are a compromise, I'm sure you can both agree on something better.

  The most macho-manly-man cousin I have is Cassidy. We cal him Cass. I've never known a female Cassidy, but I did always think his name sounded slightly girly.

   
  

  I guess technically now I should be SecondBabyMomma

  I think it's a girls' name and he'll probably get made fun of. No offense, just my honest opinion.

  The only Cassidy I knew IRL was a girl - I think it's super feminine on a boy.

  Back in high school I had a boy friend that was named Cassidy. 

  He was the only Cassidy I knew and was never taunted or teased. He liked his name.

   

  I think his mn was Flynn.

   

  Cassidy Flynn.

  stahlop:

   The only time I've seen it for a boy is on the tv show Veronica Mars.

  This! And his nn was Beaver, which he hated. Relatedly, his last line before he was killed off was "My name is Cassidy!" 

  I don't like it for a boy. I suggest Casey for something similar, which is more unisex IMHO.

  I have never thought of Cassidy as a boy's name. 

  I like it on a girl though!
