The first thing I thought of was the Old West and the Sundance Kid. Is Cassandra (nn Cassie) an option?
-
It made me think of a character from Heartland, but nothing bad!
-
Zero. I know no one with the name and don’t recall any fictional characters with that name. I prefer Cassandra, maybe nn Cassidy?
-
Grateful Dead song. to me, that's very positive!
-
I used to have a crush on a boy named Cassidy!
I've only known it as a boy's name, but I think its nice for a girl's name.
-
I know a little girl named Cassidy...she's sweet and well behaved...so good associations for me!
-
None.
-
I've only ever known a boy named Cassidy, but I always thought it was kind of a "girly" for a boy. No strange or negative associations. My mind doesn't even directly go to Butch Cassidy or anything.
-
To me, zero. Don't know anyone with that name, no characters from anywhere jump to my mind either.
-
Sean Cassidy who was a teen star in the 70s or 80s. It also reminds me of Cassie, which is a sweet girl in my class.

I think of David Cassidy and his daughter Katie.
-
None, and I think it's a pretty name!
-
none really. it's a lovely name!
-
A FB friend's husband's name is Cassidy and I also thought it was sort of girly for a boy. But probably b/c I have a younger cousin with the name. I call her Sass.
-
@Meowkers: I think 1970s / flower child . But not in any bad way!
-
There was a Canadian show in the nineties called Breaker High (that’s where Ryan Gosling got his start!) that had a character named Cassidy who was kind of ditzy, so that’s what I think of, but I’m probably in the minority.
It’s a pretty name, though, and I’m sure it only came to mind because you asked.
-
To me, it’s more boyish and more of a last name, but I could imagine it working well for a girl since it sounds like Cassie (a girl I knew growing up). There’s a male journalist that I’ve read for years and his last name is Cassidy.
-
None, My name is close and I love the name
-
I think of Cassidy from the show Preacher. I love that show and his character so that's a positive for me! I like it as a girl name.
-
I knew someone by this name growing up who wasn't a nice person, but aside from that personal connection, I don't think there's anything wrong with it as a name.
-
Nice. It's also Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter's name I think.
-
@erinbaderin: I loved Breaker High!!!
I have no negative connotations with this name. It’s a nice name, but not one of my first choices!
-
I like it. No specific associations. I picture a sweet, somewhat sassy girl!
I think I would pick Cassandra over Cassidy but that is totally personal preference.
-
I think of the singer Cassidy Pope.
-
I think of my friend and she is great!
-
Older. White. Leather fringe. Nothing bad though.
-
No personal associations however, doesn't have the name qualities that are important to me: classic, strong, beautiful.
-
Butch Cassidy, which makes me think of The Wild Bunch and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I think it's probably the case that that'll be the association a lot more men than women will have, but either way he's an irrelevant villain who the next generation will quickly forget. Same thing for the other celebrities and tv characters: our kids' generation won't have any of these associations.
I've only known it as a boy's name, but I think its nice for a girl's name.
