What do you all think about the name Cassidy for a girl?

I like it, and I've never met anyone with the name. I've met Cassies and Cassandras but never a Cassidy.

My husband has a cousin who's daughter is named Cassidy. She's kind of an annoying brat so I personally don't like the name.

Makes me think of Kathie Lee Gifford. Not a fan.

It's actually in the top 200 for girls in America. I'm not a fan of it to begin with, but with that many running around as it is, I'm not sure I'd go for it anyway.

I've known several Cassidy-s and Cassies-s in my life and never really liked them or the name.

One Cassie was in my class growing up. Her last name was Dinklage and we always called her Assie Tinklage and I just can't get rid of that association.

I like it--for me, it's a Grateful Dead reference, and I know lots of hippie kids (and dogs) named Cassidy, so I don't feel like I could use it myself.

I like the name a lot. Ive known two Cassidys both in the 2nd grade right now. They were both adorable little girls. The first is Cassidy Rose the second is Cassidy Jean.

I like Cassidy, but I like the nn Cassy more.

It just makes me think of Cassidy on Veronica Mars who... ended up murdering nine of his classmates, raping one and then committing suicide. But I highly, HIGHLY doubt the show is well-known enough for that to be a problem IN THE LEAST. And also, I'm kind of a Veronica Mars fangirl.

In general, though, I don't like the name. Especially not for a girl. Cassandra is so much nicer!

I'm not a fan because it's a surname.

I have known girls with that name before though.
