Cassia is a very sweet and beautiful name. Much better than Cassandra in my opinion. I find Cassia to be very splendid and grand in its appearance. Making it a lovely name for a girl through all ages and being indisputable while also being unique.

Pretty. I like KASH-uh or KAH-shuh. I'd prefer Cassandra over the CASS-ee-uh pronunciation.

Our 8.5 month old is Cassia! We call her Cass. I predict it’s going to grow in popularity.

The ‘ass’ bit stands out too much.

The "ass" doesn't stand out NEARLY as much as "Asse" or "Assia". Cassia is a gorgeous name, but I wish the meaning didn't mean "empty, vain", because that's a bad thing.

I’ve heard it pronounced as CASS e uh and CASH uh. I think the three syllable one is prettier.

I used to dislike this name so much - because I thought it was pronounced KASH-uh, and I still strongly dislike "Cash" in someone's name. But after hearing the KAS-ee-uh pronunciation, and realizing that was actually more common, I fell in love with it. Cass is a good nickname, though I'm not sure Cassia needs one. Also, I know the theorized Latin etymology of Cassius is a bit problematic - but I prefer to think of this as a spice name ("Cinnamomum Cassia") anyway.

This is my name and I just love it! I always tell my mom that I even love her more just because she gave me that name. I also have a lot of compliments about my name.
I pronounce it CA-sy-a and not the "sh" sound on the middle because it sounds like "caixa" which in portuguese means "box". I am originally from Brazil and in the USA where I live now, a few people can't pronounce it correctly.
Cassia is also a city in Italy and in the Catholic church there is a Saint name "Rita de Cassia" from the city Cassia.

Cassia is a very, very pretty and elegant name, when pronounced KAH-sha. When pronounced KASS-ya, it loses a lot of its elegance and sounds like the pretentious Alicia.
It also reminds me of the spice Cassia, which is similar to cinnamon.

I first heard this name was when I was about ten or eleven, and my class at school were doing a project on the European Union. A Polish interpreter called Kasia came to talk about the EU, and tried (in vain) to teach us some basic Polish expressions (the only one of which I can remember is czeϾ, which means hello). Since then, I've always thought that Kasia is a cool and very beautiful name. Now I prefer this Cassia spelling, because it makes me think of cinnamon, and it's one letter away from _Cassis_, an awesome song by the GazettE.

This is one of my all-time favorite names. I really like the name Cassie, but to me, it does not seem formal enough for a full name, since it is usually a nickname. I'm not wild about Cassandra. So I love Cassia, because it features the name Cassi within it (and can still be used as a nickname) but on its own, it sounds simply beautiful.

Cassia (kassee-ah) can also be used to signify literally "Cassia", or the Cassia tree, from which cinnamon bark is obtained. It can thus be considered a plant or spice name. In this sense it is a direct translation of the Hebrew name Ketzia (which appears in the Bible as Keziah, one of Job's daughters).
