Kasia

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Though people in this community aren't huge fans of it, Kasia has been in my top 5 favorite names for a long time. It is pronounced KASH-a, so rhyme with Sasha. I love the sounds of it. However, I'm starting to get worried people are going to associate it with Kesha, as in Ke$ha, as in Tik Tok. Do you think they will?

I wouldn't. I have no idea what Ke$ha or Tik Tok are.

I love the way Kasia looks but I always wish it was pronounced KAZ-ee-uh

I know it's pronounced Kasha in most places, but I still read it KAH-zee-ah

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

It was on our list for a little while.

This.

I would never have associated it with Ke$ha if you hadn't brought it up... but then I again I don't really follow/pay much attention to Ke$ha - I only know she exists because she was on Ellen a few weeks ago! lol. I'm thinking that the younger generation might make that association, but even then I doubt it would be a huge problem.

I would, but I live on campus and all the bars play that all the time. fuck off, kesha.

I'll be honest, I did think of Kesha/Tik Tok but she will probably be a one hit wonder.. no one will remember her in a year so you have nothing to worry about!!

I like the name, and I like how it sounds, and I wouldn't associate it with Ke$ha even though my boyfriend sings the song a lot.

same here.



For me, it makes me think of Kashi-brand stuff. But that's after I read how to pronounce it. The "look" of Kasia doesn't make me think of Kashi. Um.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly what I was thinking! =)

I am not sure how attached to the spelling you are, but there is a plant called Cassia pron. the same way. I know a little girl with the name Kasia and it is pron. Kah-See-AH

[lustdumpster.livejournal.com]

maybe for now among the crowd who likes her, but she probably won't even be thought of this time next year. i like tik tok and the song with 3oh3 on her album and the rest is garbage. she's a one, maybe two hit wonder.

Never even crossed my mind, and I'm quite the Ke$ha fan. I don't think the names are close enough, or that Ke$ha is famous enough.

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kasia can be pronounced both ways :). But I am pretty attached to this spelling and pronunciation, as its the traditional Polish way.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't because it's not pronounced the same.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

My cousin's best friend is named Kasia (cass-ee-uh) and I have never thought of that when I hear about Ke$ha or vice versa. Plus, I don't feel like she'll be like the next big thing, she'll fade into obscurity soon enough.

this exactly

[tiarrajanae.livejournal.com]

I love the name. And I don't think people will confuse the two.

[hwar.livejournal.com]

This exactly.

I love the name Kasia. I associate it with Kasia's Deli in Chicago--a very positive association, since they make excellent pierogis! I'm a big fan of Polish names--too bad I don't have an ounce of Polish blood in me!
