If you meet a kid with the name, they're more likely to be Cash-us, but if their parents are into Roman history it might be the other way.

Sounds about right.

It's not that uncommon for names to have multiple pronunciations.

Since this is DCUM, only one pronunciation is right.

That hardly qualifies you on DCUM. You need a Phd to even voice an opinion. Just kidding. Thanks for weighing in.

Three. But I took five years of Latin.

It is like Anna. Ah-na or A-na. Defer to the person. When when studying Greek stuff, I pronounce it my way or the way my colleagues pronounce it.

For example, my roommate deals with gov time keeping stuff. She calls leave under FMLA "femla." I have heard other people do this, too. In my world and to my friends, we call it F-M-L-A. Defer to person. Then pick your preference.

A name is supposed to be pronounced the way the person wants their name pronounced.

+1. Same thought here!

The audiobook reader says Cass I Us. 3 syllables.

I've always read it as cash-us.

It's sort of both. If you're reading about Cassius Clay, it's Cash-us, if you're reading a book about ancient Rome it's Cass-i-us.

Where are you standing?

Have I been mispronouncing “Cassius” my whole life?

I’ve always thought it was pronounced “cash-us” like Mohammed Ali as Cassius Clay. It won’t let me post the YouTube but go to YouTube to hear Mohammed Ali pronounce it if you must.

Is this name pronounced “Cass-sea-us” ? I met a lady today call her son Cassius, “cass-sea-us” and now I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be said that way. Another person repeated the name and used the three syllable pronunciation.

I’ve never met another Cassius in person but in books, I’ve always read it as “cash-us”.
