Comments for the name Cassiopeia

It sould also be noted that Cassiopea worshipped the ground her daughter walked and openly bragged about Andromeda's beauty in front of the Gods. This ended in Andromeda being offered to the Kraken as a sacrifice in order to beg Hera for forgiveness.

Cassiopeia boasted that she was more beautiful than the Nereids who complained to Poseidon. Poseidon sent a sea monster and demanded that Andromeda, Cassiopeia's daughter, be sacrificed to it. Luckily, Perseus came along and saved Andromeda. Cassiopeia was made a constellation.

Oh my God how cool it would be to have two daughters named Cassiopeia and Andromeda!

Joanna Newsom has a song called Cassiopeia.

I think any name containing the word "pee" should be avoided. The playground can be hell, folks.

There was a character in the 1970-80's television show "Battlestar Galactica" named Cassiopeia (portrayed by Lorette Spang-McCook). It was pronounced ka-see-O-pee-a.

Cassiopeia has to be one of the most beautiful names I've ever heard. I wish wish wish it was my name! It's so strong, beautiful and elegant, plus there are so many nickname opportunities (Cass, Cassy, Pia, etc!) There could, of course, be problems with spelling and pronunciation, but that wouldn't put me off. Any girl called Cassiopeia is INCREDIBLY lucky to have such a perfect name!

I pronounce this name cassio-PAY-ah, so ne pee sound in there. I don't mind this name but it would get shortened to Cassie which I really dislike. I don't think that it would be good to give this name to one sister & Andromeda to another as the original bearers were mother & daughter, it's like calling siblings Romeo & Juliet! Just icky!?!

This name is great, I totally love it, and would consider it for a future daughter. It's just so pretty and feminine and strong. The only downside is that it's so long and I don't like any of the nickname choices.

The French version is Cassiopée, pronounced Cassio-"pay". I like it a lot, better than Cassiopeia.

I always thought this name was pronounced kas-ee-o-PAY-ah.

I think this is a pretty name, but I'd prefer to pronounce it "cass ee OH pee a"--emphasis on the "O".

In Denmark the pronunciation would be, cass-yo-'PEYE-a. Eye pronounced like an eye or the letter I.

I much prefer this pronunciation.
