Elijah and Eli (a form of Elijah) is Hebrew meaning
Faithful to God. I personally like the full Elijah
better. I also like the name Cassandra. My first
is due in September and if it is a girl, her name
will be Cassie (not Cassandra). My husband prefers
the shorter.

| > Cassandra Cherie Casbeer
Cassie Casbeer (what she will probably get called) is pretty
sing-songy -- kinda like Hubert Humphrey, Horatio Hornblower,
etc. Cassie is particularly unfortunate with with Case-a-beer --
which I assume is a pretty common play on your last name. All
in all, too many C's for me.
Cassandra is also pretty formal and rather a mouthful. It's
becoming fairly popular these days, though, so that shouldn't
be such a big problem. It also has a rather standard -- and
pretty -- nickname.
> Wesley Elijah Casbeer
> or
> Wesley Eli Casbeer
Elijah is a little too Old Testament, fire and brimstone,
fundamentalist for me -- seems pretty heavy to give a little
baby. I DO like Eli though. By the way, I also like Nicholas.

My daughter is 4 years old. Her full name is Cassandra Leigh LaMay.
I LOVE the name Cassandra! We also call her Cassie.

| I know a Cassandria -- she is Cassie (not like KC).

| 370.5 | Jordan??? | BUSY::SEC6SJ | | Tue Apr 18 1989 08:13 | 3 |

What about Jordan Casbeer? I like the sound of that. Cassandra
sounds nice for a girl's name.
|
| 370.6 | Still thinking | HYEND::JHALL | | Wed Apr 19 1989 08:37 | 8 |
| Actually we have both thought about Jordan, but once again my
husband thought about it too long and decided he did not like
it. Something tells me we will be holding a little boy in our
arms without a name come July/August. He doesn't even know if
he likes Wesley anymore. Thanks for your comments.

| 370.8 | A yes for Cassandra | SKIWVA::FSCNO | | Wed Apr 19 1989 16:36 | 7 |
| I too love the name of Cassandra, I know two, one nicknamed Casey
and one nicknamed Cassie. Also a lady I work with and delivered
about the same time as me named her son Matthew Westley (her maiden
name was West) and they call him West. I like it but its more
important that your husband like it. Good luck!

| My brother's name is Wesley and I can't tell you how many compliments
he gets on the name! Girls especially find it attractive. Possibly
because it is masculine as well as different. I haven't meet any
other guy with the name to be honest with you - so it is rather
unique.
Good luck to you. Sounds as though your husband might be afraid
to choose something different. It is hard to imagine how people
will react to a "different" name, especially for boys. Maybe something
more contempory like :Michael, David, Joseph... (?)
