BothI see Cassandra as more formal and exotic. Susannah is more earthy and comfortable, but I like them both. I also like Cassia (CASS-ee-a) (a kind of spice) and Cassava (ca-SAH-vah)(a type of plant) as similar sounding variants of Cassandra, and I like the nns Cass and Cassie.I like Susannah a lot, as well as many related names: Susanna, Sanna, Sanne, Shoshana, Suzana, and Zuzana.Which one I picked would depend on the ln, sibling names, and whichever quality I hoped for in a child: the more unusual and divaesque Cassandra, or the more comfortable and sweet Susannah.~ Caitlín

Both are fantastic, but....(m)I only like Cassandra pronunced the correct way--cah-SAHN-drah. None of this cah-SAND-rah stuff for me. I'd use it after Cassandra Mortmain, and I think it's fantastic.I prefer Suzanna to Susannah. Much stronger looking to me, for whatever reason. Both names are very good ones, though.Array

We have a Cassandra in my family who we mostly call Cassie, so of course I like that name! I also Like Susannah and I like it with the "h" at the end the way you spelled it. I think Susannah is nice because you seldom hear it anymore and it is so pretty.

Susannah.Cassandra is an OK name, but Susannah is much nicer sounding. But, they should definitely not be used for siblings!

Cassandra is more interesting, but I also like Susannah for someone else's child._____________________________________________________________________"Dream like you'll live forever. Live like you'll die today."Elinor

SusannahCassandra makes me think far too much of the prophet Cassandra. And I wouldn't want to name a daughter after someone who foresaw her own death.

I like both of those names. I prefer Susannah spelled Susanna. Cassandra is one of my all time favorite nbames but, Susanna is up there. So...I like them both equally.

Susanna, it's more friendly. I prefer Shoshana or Shoshannah, thought.
