Cassandra

in Baby Names

DH and I were almost set on Cassandra when I made the mistake of telling my mom. Now, I knew that in Greek mythology Cassandra predicted the fall of Troy. But the way my mom put it was that Cassandra was known as the bearer of bad news, she was cursed and was considered insane.  Therefore, we should absolutely not name DD Cassandra. After reading a little more about it, turns out Cassandra was also raped and ends up being murdered. So knowing all that, would you still use Cassandra?

    I like the name Cassandra and had no idea about anything you mentioned. It definitely wouldn't change my mind. I think that's silly.

    That would not bother me, but it sounds like maybe you don't really like the idea of it anymore.

    Use it. It's lovely and uncommon these days.

     

    Every name has a bad association if you look hard enough.

    I'd use it, it is so pretty and underused.

    Plus BTN says it means "to shine upon man".  I wouldn't focus too hard on the character in the myth.
