I know a male Casey. So it seems OK in my book.

Yes, I love it, one of my favourite boys names.

It’s a surname where I am from. It’s a great name especially if there is Irish ancestry in the mix.

I know a lovely male Casey. I’m not a fan of the name though!

I thought it was a boys name though.....???

Hmm I’ve only ever known girl Casey’s in real life and I didn’t know it could be a boys name until recently!

Met a couple of American men called that. Don’t mind it

Casey Jones was a TV programme back in the day about an engine driver. Sorry, I'm not keen. I prefer it for a boy than a girl though.

KayEmAy · 28/02/2025 21:25

So many Yays! I actually prefer it as a boys name.

Moreteaandchocolate · 28/02/2025 21:23

Yes, I quite like it.

HumphreysCorner · 28/02/2025 21:22

Absolutely 👍🏻

I know a Casey. He’s a barrister. He’s the only Casey I know but the name suits him.

GiddyCrab · 28/02/2025 21:15

Yes it's fine.

DrFoxtrot · 28/02/2025 21:10

Yes, I like it and, to me, Casey is a boys name anyway.

Love it! Always thought it a bit cringe but then worked with a male Casey and it really suited him - lovely guy.
