Yeh, I have the name too! Mine is short For Cassandra, but we often put Cassiopeia on forms because it's a cool name! It's quite cool though because you can have 2 short names. Generally people call me Cass instead. When you get older people do that more I find!
Cassie is the name of a song by the band Flyleaf. The song is talking about The Columbine killings. Supposedly a girl named Cassie was asked if she believed in god and she said yes and they killed her.
Cassie Rene' Bernall was one of the 13 students killed in the Columbine High Masecre in Colorado on April 20, 1999. She was born on November 6, 1981 and up until 9th grade was a good kid. Then she became mixed up with the wrong crowd. But eventually Cassie became a Christian. On April 20, 199 two teenaged killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold came up to Cassie in the library. "Do you believe in God?" Eric asked her. "Yes." Cassie answered. They asked her why, although they didn't give her time to answer. Eric slammed his hand onto the table top and yelled, "Peek-a-boo!" before fatally shooting Cassie Bernall on the right side of her face. Cassie became a martyr to many people. And soon after her death, her mother, Mist Bernall wrote a biography about Cassie's life entitled: "She Said Yes". The book tells how Cassie and another one of her friends engaged in talk that wasn't "PG". Cassie turned her life around on March 8th. Her mother states in the book that she is glad Cassie was saved before it was too late. And by "too late", she means before Eric Harris and Dylan klebold killed her. This story shocked me, and I have grown to love this name even more.
Um, sorry Miss Patricia Underwood... but you are misinformed. The popular RUMOR is that Cassie Bernall was the one who "said yes" although witnesses say otherwise, citing that fellow student (and survivor) Valeen Schnurr, who, when approached by Eric Harris, she let out a plea of "Dear God, please help me," which prompted Mr. Harris to ask her "Do you believe in God?" which resulted in the famous exchange that was mistakenly attributed to Miss Bernall. Although Cassie Bernall will be sorely missed and her death has had a profound effect on many, she did NOT deserve these songs and books written about her when they should ACTUALLY be about Valeen Schnurr, who is hardly known, which in my humble opinion is very unjust.
I think Cassie makes a good "full" name as well. From my experience parents often feel the need to name their child the "full" or "original" name so that their child can be called the nickname.
Cassie is one of the main characters from the 2007 British teen drama "Skins". She is a gentle and compassionate teenage girl suffering from anorexia nervosa. She is portrayed by English actress Hannah Murray.
I loathe this name, it doesn't sound good at all. It's also quite nickname-y and thus a bit too youthful to be the actual name of a woman. Go for Cassandra instead, if this is what you like.
I quite like Cassie as a nickname for Cassandra/Cassiopeia/Cassainee/etc, but I have to say that I prefer CassY, with a Y - it just seems neater, somehow.
I don't really like this name. It sounds soap opera-ish. I don't like it as a nickname for the obnoxious Cassidy, but it's okay when it's short for Cassandra.
My very first best friend was named Cassie. The name really fit her with her blonde hair and blue eyes because the name is soft and gentle. This is a very pretty name!

I really liked this name when I was about 8. Now I realise that it is very light, overly-feminine and insubstantial. I think it is simply CRUEL to name somebody Cassie rather than Cassandra. At least Cassandra sounds like a real, dignified name, and you can pick the prettier nickname Cass, Sandy, or Sandra.
I have a cousin (well, second cousin, but it's practically the same thing, right?) who is named Cassandra. She does not particularly care for her name, as she is a bit tomboyish, but instead goes by Cassie. Personally I like Cassandra more than Cassie. *shrug* Very pretty.
