interesting.  i personally like "asia" with a "K' sound in front of it - instead of the other way.

I don't really like the name but people will probably pronounce to sound like Asia because that is how it is spelled.

believe it or not, I had a few Kaisa's when teaching inner-city.  So, I cannot say I like it!

I've met a Kasia, pronounced Kasha. It's NMS, but I don't think it's terrible or anything.

I knew a Katjia and it was pronounced Kash-a. With a long A in the Kash part like a bird (ca--ca--) not A as in apple. Very different. I think if i had to choose i would use the Asia version.

I prefer the "KASH-a" pronunciation. When it rhymes with Asia it reminds me of a cage fighter. Or cage dancer.

When I first saw it, I though Ka-see-ah,  I didn't even think of it rhyming with Asia.  My Russian professor in college was named this (prnounced Kah-shah) and I loved her.

I have a friend named Kasia (Kash-a) so that's why I'm used to and that's what I like.

My sister's name is Katie and my Polish Grandma always called her Kasia. Kind of has a soft spot in my heart for that name.

The only person I know with the name pronounces it cass-ee-uh. I don't like the other pronunciations.

We have a good friend named Kasia (she is Polish, I believe), pron. Kahsh-ah.

I knew a girl named Kasia, but it was pronounced like Kay-sha. Like it rhymed with Geisha.

I don't like it.

There's a county in Idaho (where I grew up) named Cassia. Pronounced the same. I don't think I could get away from that association long enough to like this as a name for a human being.
