I think this is a dignified, strong-sounding name. I prefer the pronunciation KASH-us over KASS-ee-us.

This will be the name of a son if I have one. I prefer the pronunciation Kass-ee-us. I think it is a strong, uncommon name.

It's a rather cool-sounding name, but it has a rather sad meaning to me, and if one was to name their son Cassius, he might get called Cassie at some point in his life. I'd use the name but only for characters in stories.

This is my baby cousin's name, we pronounce it CASH-uss. I like it, but it's very strange. People look at me weirdly when I say his name in public. We usually just call him by his nickname, Bubby. Lol :D

I prefer "cash-us", although I think at first glance most people would say Cassie-us, which is ok, but in my opinion a little long and too similar to "Cassie"

I knew a dog named Cassius. He was named after Muhammed Ali, because his breed was a boxer :P
