Definitely exotic and unusual, but is more accessible with the appealing nickname Cassie. Cassiopeia is very epic, dramatic and feminine. it's a lot of name for one to carry, and the full name may cause problems with spelling for most people who aren't familiar with the name. Still, Cassiopeia is lovely; if the constellation or Greek mythology background means a lot to the parents, I can see it work on a real-life person, though I would think that she came from a more hippie family :)

I really want to like this name, but it just has too many syllables that don't blend quite right. I like Calliope or Cassandra more.

Beautiful, but I think it's probably best left as a GP because it's a lot of name to pull off. Still, if Seraphina can work...
I love the meaning (as given by Zoey_Artemisia below), and it looks gorgeous written down. Cassie is a very cute and wearable nickname.
There's also a lovely song by the same name by Joanna Newsom.

Soapy. Best left to a charming fictional character. But don't give this to your tiny baby.

So beautiful! A more uncommon alternative full name for Cassie.

If I ever get a female Shiba Inu, I will name her this!
RavenZimmi Says:
I love this name, I named a spunky character Cassiopeia in my book and it works perfectly. Her nickname is Opal

Adorable but a bit too syllable heavy. Cassia would do for me. :)
flora_kate Says:
Love the name, but just looking at the spelling gives me a headache!
Zoey_Artemisia Says:
If anyone was wondering what this name means, the meaning is 'she whose words excel'. I think that's a wonderful meaning. The spelling is more exotic than Andromeda, but I think Andromeda is better for modern times.

I like this name but my mother says that no one would be able to pronounce it and that kids would probably make fun of this name when she got older
ldougie Says:
The O in the middle is unattractive imo.

A great name despite it's length. The obvious "pee" in the middle could lead to some elementary school teasing, though.

Sweet, with the user friendly nickname of Cassie. :)
