Comments for the name Cassidy

David Cassidy is an American actor and musician who starred in the television series The Partridge Family from 1970 to 1974.

Robert LeRoy Parker, alias Butch Cassidy, was a notorious train and bank robber. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 Western film starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The film bore little resemblance to the actual Cassidy and partner, but popularized their legends nonetheless.

I also love this name for some odd reason. This is my name and I am so happy I have it!

It also means clever.

Kassidy is also a female name of the unisex name Cassidy.

I think Cassidy is a very cute name! I would love to have this name. A good nickname for this name is Cassi (ca-see).

Cassidy was used for a male character on the TV show Veronica Mars.

I like it but it will only look good on you if you're younger than 30. From then on it won't work.

This strikes me as more of a surname (one of my mate's surnames so you'll see where I get that) or an American name. Cassie is a nice nickname though.

I can't imagine a boy having the name Cassidy! That is repulsive! The name is a little immature and is only good if you are under 10 years old.

I love this name for a boy - I mean, it works on a girl, too, but it just sounds more masculine to me. Although the nickname Cassie would be kinda weird on a boy. And I think, on the right person, the name Cassidy would age well.

Cassidy is a lovely name.

Cassidy is such a horrible name! It`s the worst name ever invented! :( :cry:

I wonder if the root of this name, "Cas," could somehow be related to the name "Caesar." Both meanings have something to do with hair, after all.

For whatever reason, I've never been able to picture the name Cassidy on girls. I always think of guys when I hear the name. It's truly a wonderful name, too! :D

This is one of the most hideous names out there, and it always brings to mind that mean, spoiled, sexist pop star from decades ago, David Cassidy. Well, Cassidy was definitely his surname. I read he was very mean to his fans, and people who are mean to their fans are scum.

How could anyone say a name is "hideous", especially when basing it on one person? It's a great name, not bad at all. And on a side note, Caesar means hairy.

Cassidy is the name of the vampire in the Preacher comic series, as well as a character in the video game Fallout 2.

I love this name, and as everyone says they see it more for boys, I like it as girl version. I always see it on a girl.

Variant is "Cassity" (female).

In my opinion, this is a great name for a boy.

I think that it's beautiful for a girl or a boy, delicate sort of and beautiful but at the same time strong, and I don't understand you people who say it only sounds good for young people. I can easily imagine older people with this name.

I hate this name, especially on a girl. It doesn't sound very feminine. It sounds like a name for the spoiled child of yuppies. At least it can be shortened to Cassie.

Some of you people are mean! Cassidy is an AWESOME name, and I love it. It's amazing, and fits people of ALL ages, in my opinion at least.

I happen to like this "cass" name a lot better than the more common Cassandra (which often, to me, sounds like the name Sandra with a "kuh" prefix added). And either way, I still love the nickname Cassie. But I prefer Cassidy of the two names. However, I prefer both Cassidy & Cassandra over Cassarah *shudder*.

I hate this name. The sound is just so incredibly annoying and obnoxious.

I like this name. I have a friend named Cassidy and she's really shy but really nice, so I guess that's what I think of when I hear this name.

I love the name Cassidy! My own name is Cassidy, you people who say it's ugly thanks. I'm a 14 year old girl with self esteem issues as it is and it's great to know that my name doesn't fit up to other peoples standards. That really helps!

This name would be very unique for either gender.

Cassidy is my name and I'm a girl. I know it used to be a boy's name and still is in some places but that doesn't bother me. I love my name! The only two downsides are A), nobody can spell it until I tell them how and B), Cassie. I REALLY dislike people's desire to call me Cassie. It sounds really childish. That and people who don't know me THAT well that I haven't seen in a long time often remember my name as Cassie and not Cassidy. But I still love my name. And the Cassie thing isn't so bad, I just have people nickname me Cass instead. That was I have a whole county and lake to myself! ;) [Cass county & lake in Michigan....]

I left a comment for Cassidy three years ago, and I'd like to amend it now. I no longer like "Cassie" for a girl, but I actually quite like Cassidy - for a boy. It reminds me of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.
