To be honest I like both but as I have to choose: Andromeda.

Even though they are both long and mythological names, Cassandra sounds more classical and flows off the tongue easier while Andromeda gives the impression that the parents are trying to make a statement.

Difficult. I think Cassandra, as I associate Andromeda more with the galaxy. But Andromeda is more unusual.. I'm torn: I genuinely love both.

Cassandra

Cassandra

Andromeda is a GP of mine. I love how it looks and sounds, however, in the real world, I have a hard time picturing it working successfully. I'd be more likely to go with Cassandra which I do like.

While I like Andromeda well enough, I don't like any nicknames for it. on the other hand I love Cassandra and like Cassie.

Cassandra. Andromeda is a bit too old there for me. Though I like Andie as a nickname on a girl

Cassandra by a mile. It's crisp and pretty, while Andromeda is neither.

Andromeda, simply because it's more uncommon, though I don't find it more attractive than Cassandra. Plus, Andromeda's story had a better ending than Cassandra's, though Cassandra was a stronger character. Also an Annie or Andie whose full name was Andromeda would totally thrill me. Andro would also be cool! So futuristic.

Casandra, though I don't actually like it all that much. It's just miles better than Andromeda, which is so over the top.

Cassandra by a mile.
Andromeda is ridiculously over the top, in my opinion.

Andromeda. It's much more beautiful. I don't like Cassandra. But otoh, Cassandra is more usable.

Andromeda! I like Cassandra, but I prefer the sound of Andromeda. Cassandra seems a bit like an elaboration of Sandra, which I don't like as much. Plus Andromeda is a constellation, and I love astrology. But both are great, strong sounding names, so you can't really go wrong.

I like Andromeda much better as a name in itself, but I'd be more willing to give the name Cassandra to an actual human child. I like both very much.

I prefer Andromeda. I find Cassandra boring and adore the nickname Annie.

Cassandra. Andromeda is cool, but it does bring to mind androids and dromedaries.

Ooh, that is a tough question. I like them about the same!
Cassandra is more down-to-earth, less flakey, and I like the nicknames. It carries a little bit of baggage because of "Cassandra complex."
Andromeda is a little eccentric ... you know, it's so galactic. But I slightly prefer the sounds (although I don't like the nicknames).
I probably would not name a daughter Andromeda. I'd use it as a middle name. I would be willing to use Cassandra as a first name. I would not mind having either name for myself.

Cassandra or Andromeda?
