Casey for a boy?

We like the name Casey for a boy. One of the unisex names I actually like on a boy. I like Casey Emerson, but apparently Emerson is unisex as well, so maybe 2 unisex names is too much. Casey Reid maybe? What are some middle names that sound good to you?

I like the Casey Reid combination. It’s a great name - I haven’t met a Casey before and I really like it

I'm not a huge fan either way but I think it's marginally better for a boy; 'Casey/Lacey/Stacey' are all a bit 'orange ten-year-old bullies with patent shoes, frilly socks, and a JoJo bow'. Whereas I quite fancied the Casey Jones character in the 'Ninja Turtles'.

I know two caseys, both are girls. Depends which sex it is most popular for in your area really.

Why are two unisex names too much? I think it's fine.

I know an adult Casey and every time I speak to him I think how much I like the name. He’s about 50 but I think it would suit someone whatever their age. I really really like it. I don’t think of it as unisex though.
I'm really loving it
