I know my little one will probably have to spell her name out to people in the future, I also do but it doesn't bother me. I just wondered what people's opinions are on the best way of spelling it.

The name probably comes from a surname, Casey. That possibly comes from a Gaelic word meaning 'ready for war' or 'war-vigilant': Cathasach. There is no 'k' in the Gaelic alphabet, so it's better to spell the name with a C.

The famous Casey Jones spelled it 'Casey' - but his nickname (his real name was John Luther) was taken from Cayce, a town in the USA.
en.wikipedia.org/?title=Casey_Jones You might want to copy that, perhaps???

Casey is the conventional spelling.

Yes, it definitely looks more right with a C, but the only one I know spells it Kasey, so that's what automatically popped into my head.

Kasey or Kacey

I thought the usual way of spelling it was Casey. I know two - a boy and a girl - who both spell it this way.
