Casey Grace rolls better off the tongue.

Oh, I'd assumed Casey was the surname.

Difficult to say. And very similar names in sound. Also names don't really go well together. Grace is a bit of a classic. Casey isn't the same sort of name IYSWIM.

@Wolfiefan unfortunately Casey is my surname! We are using DP's surname as her surname and mine as middle name... If it's too awful, we will have to change her first name Sad

If it's grace casey something that's not so bad.

Oh no I don't like it. Both end in the same sound and has the same amount of letter. Makes for a very harsh sounding name.

FFS. I'm so sorry. I completely misunderstood. It's a great surname. Would actually have put in my post it's a boy's name or a surname but felt rude! Grin
Could you use a different one of your names or a similar name to Casey (Cassie)?

Sorry Cross post. Could you double barrel the surname?

Popskipiekin · 25/05/2017 21:42

Oh so it's Grace Casey Smith. Sounds fine to me. And if it is Smith then Casey-Smith is an awesome double barrelled surname! Grin

It doesn't work, IMO.

Grace Case. The y on the end does nothing to take away from the rhyme.

You could change your/his surname! - Grace is a really nice name, but it does sound a bit weird with Casey - sorry!

OlennasWimple · 25/05/2017 21:43

Depends on the last name

If it's something with some harder sounds, it would work:

Grace Casey Taylor

Grace Casey Scott

Grace Casey Burton

It wouldn't work with more soft sounds:

Grace Casey Smith

Grace Casey Firth

Grace Casey Spacey Grin

Bit of a tongue twister. Unless you consider in RL she'll be called Grace Surname and her middle name will be ignored most of the time.

Report
OlennasWimple · 25/05/2017 21:43

Or you could use an additional middle name:

Grace Something Casey Surname would be fine

I think it's fine! Not a fan of the name Grace tbh but I think it rolls off the tongue fine.

It is a bit hard to say, but truely I extremely rarely say my children's middle names after their first name.
They are only known by their first name in school and by all family. I bet teachers, friends and vast majority of my family dont remember their middle names. Even if they did there would be no circumstances where they would say the full name that I can think of.

That said, if it bothers you, and you love the name Grace, can you have 2 middle names?
