Just that really - if you hear Casey, do you think boy or girl?

I know the name is unisex, just wondered about first impressions.

Casey Jones reeling and a rolling Casey Jones la la la

Sorry to be pedantic but it was "a steamin and a rollin" because it was a song about a train engineer on the Cannonball Express.

God I'm old as I can remember every word of that from about 50 years ago but can't remember what I did yesterday!

I'm going to have that song in my head all day now!

Boy

I think "first one bumped off in a bad US teen horror film".

Then I think boy.

Happyinmyowncompany · 23/06/2023 10:06

Boy spelling however if you would of just said the name I would think girl

XelaM · 23/06/2023 10:04

Boy.

Have never met a female Casey. Have met male Caseys.

fantasmasgoria1 · 23/06/2023 10:00

I think of both girl and boy. At DDs school there was a female Casey.

TokenGinger · 23/06/2023 09:47

I would automatically think boy, but that's only because two of my partner's male relatives are called that, but spelt Ksee (they're not British, hence the different spelling).

Rainydaysandicecream · 23/06/2023 09:44
