everley is my preferred spelling, but i like everly more. it's alright, it reminds me too much of beverly to use it, though.

cassandra is ok, i don't like it or hate it. andie and casey would work fine. i've seen more ridiculous nicknames, i don't think andie or casey would be weird for cassandra at all.

i don't like brinley.

i like briony very much when all syllables are pronounced, like when it's bri-on-y, but i do not like it when people say it quickly and it turns into briney.

i love everly, its been on my list for some time (that spelling - i am not a fan of your spellings)

everlie looks like it should be pronounced ever-lye (rhymes with sky)
everlee just looks juvenile
everley is ok, i just prefer without the last e

i like cassandra, it used to be on my list, until i realized that it would be impossible to avoid the nickname of cassie, which i despise. i think andie and casey are both reasonable nicknames for it.

not a big fan of brinley, but ive heard much worse.

i like briony (bri-ohn-ee) in theory but i would never use it.

I like Cassandra better than the other names. I don't like the nickname Andie but Casey is okay. However, I'll always like Cassie as a nickname for Cassandra better.

I do the same thing. I was called cassie as a child and I try to avoid it. I have such a pretty name that I like to be called by it hahaha

I don't like Everley/Everlee/Everlie, they seem made up to me. But if I had to choose a spelling I'd choose Everley. I also think Brinley looks a little made up... to me it seems more of a surname.

I love Briony. I added this to my list some time ago. And Cassandra's really nice, I like your pronunciation of it. And I don't think Andie or Casey would be too much of a stretch.

I LOVE the name Cassandra (the way you pronounce it,the other one does not even make sense, I'd it have to be Cassaundra, which is made up), but I don't like the rest.

My favorite nickname for Cassandra is Cassie, but Andie could definitely work! Casey (Kay-see) not so much, imo.

I love Evelyn, but Everley/Everlee/Everlie is awful. Almost as bad as Brinley and Briony.

I like Cassandra. I know a Cassandra who goes by Casey, so I don't think it's that much of a stretch; I personally like Cass(ie).

Only name in the list that I like is Cassandra, which is one of my absolute favorites. I prefer Cassie as a nickname, but Casey works well too. Andie... not so much. I'd assume she was named Andrea.

I don't really like any of them. I think Cassandra is the best one, though... and I definitely think Andie or Casey would work as a nickname.
I know a Miranda that goes by Andie and I LOVE that.

The only person I knew named Cassandra went by Cassie.

I like Cassandra as well, very pretty!

Everlie/Everlee/Everley - is this a real name?

Cassandra (ka-san-dra, not ka-saun-dra)- Love Cassandra!
also, do you think the nns Andie or Casey are a stretch for this name?
They're fine. They work, but are a bit less common than Cassie or Sandy, which I like

Brinley - eww
Briony - ok. nms, but not bad

I think Casey is a bit more of a stretch than Andie, but both work. I love the full name best, though. :)

Briony is one of my favorites!

I am not a fan of Everley or Brinley. The first looks like Beverly misspelled, and the second is just not my style.

I really like Briony. I think that Everly would be the prettiest spelling. I like Cassandra, but not that pronunciation.

Everly is ok.

Don't like Cassandra, it's nothing atrocious... just not my taste. =

Brinley is my dad's middle name *amused*

And I ADORE Bryony (prefer it spelled this way) - possibly my second favourite girls name.

I am a cassandra not sondra which I am thankful for cuz I dislike the saun son thing. everyone will call her cassie. it wasn't till my hubby started calling me by my full name that it stopped. still when I go to a new doc or anywhere professionally they will ask for cassie even though that's not my actual name. I find it rather presumptous to NN a person you don't know at an office but it pretty much always happens.
