My daughters name is Cassidy. It means clever ( Gaelic I think), and clever she is! How we got to that name is a funny story, but even though we were both greatful dead fans back in the day, the song Cassidy wasn't even on our radar.
I was like you, and had boy names all picked out. We went back and forth for weeks. He liked the more common names, and I wanted an unusual name because I grew up with one. Well, one night after watching a movie ( I can't even remember the movie now), I saw an actress with the last name Cassidy. I thought, hmmm that would be a cool name.
I forgot about it, and 2 months later went into labor. ( I had a very bad pregnancy and labor) After all of the drama of that whole experience, it was FINALLY time for me to get out of the hospital. Well, they wouldn't let us go home without a name. ( this was a new thing back then) We couldn't agree with anything, and then I just blurted out...Cassidy! Her name is Cassidy! Give me the papers!
As a gift a month later, some friends gave us greatful dead tickets at the Boston Garden ( Before they redid the inside of it). What was the first song they played? Cassidy...After remembering the lyrics to that song, we both realized it fit her perfectly
