I like both with the pronunciation Cass-ee-an and Cass-ee-us.

Both names are handsome and refined (especially with the CAS-ee- pronunciation). I lean towards Cassian, though, but the nickname Cass is cute.

I prefer Cassian, but both are good!

I like both with the “Cass” pronunciation. I don’t hate the “Cash” pronunciation but I wouldn’t use it for either name myself.

I like Cassius. It's a nice name. I'll take a Cassius over a Somersault any day. Cassian is fine too, but I like Cassius better.

Cassian could attract some interesting mispronunciations. Cassius points back to Cassius Clay, who changed his name when he changed his religion: fair enough, but Cassius Clay is far more interesting than Muhammed Ali.

My sister is a Cassandra so I like the nn Cass, which has always felt unisex to me. I got used to it more from watching Supernatural, where there was a character called Castiel, who went by Cass.

I think I prefer Cassius over Cassian, but for male Cass names I actually prefer Casper :)

There's quite a few male Cas* names, which I think is cool! https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/masculine/pattern/cas*

My best friend is named Cassian nn Cas. I think it's a great name.
