Honest opinions please. Is casey suitable for a boy?

[JW37]

When I hoped we were having a girl I wanted to call her casey as love the name and it is also my grandmother's maiden name. But we now know it's a boy and looking through a baby book I found casey as a boy's name.

What do you think of it as a boy's name? Is it too girls?

I think of it as a surname.

There is a Casey in DD's nursery. She is a little girl.

It's a bit girly.

I think it's a bit of a 'rough' name too (as it sounds like K.C. and other names like it: Ajay, Teejay, and so on).

Casey Affleck is Ben's younger brother?

I wouldn't presume a dc called Casey was either a boy or a girl, although do know a little girl Casey

yeah of course it is!

I think it's totally fine as a boy's name. It is very popular in the USA for boys.

i know one spelled Kci

I think I prefer it for a boy. It's quite cool actually.

Thanks. My husband isn't too keen but I think I like it.

I thought Casey was a boys name ( Casey Jones ). I think it's a great name.

I thought boys name too. Lovely name!

I always thought it was a boys name until recently. There are loads of girl Casey/Kaycee/Kaci's round here.

it can be either, casey stoner is a motor bike rider, and its a name that dp and i both like and considered using for ours, i would use it for a boy or a girl :)

Hell yeah, it's a boy's name. "Casey Jones, a steamin' and a rollin', Casey Jones you never have to guess, when you hear the tootin' of the whistle it's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express"

@ Kci

Too girly

It seems to be more popular for girls, though could be one of those names, like Ashley, that does for both.

I know a 40 something man known as Casey, has been all his life, because his initials are KC Surname. He has been known as Casey for such a long time that we tend to forget he is actually called K.

I know a 10yr old boy Kasey.

I have two boys Casey and Colby, we never really gave it any thought about it being a girls name.

Honest opinion, no.

Honestly - I wouldn't.

I honestly think 'girls name' when I hear it. DH knows someone who's child is called Casey and I asked how old she was, and DH had to correct me and said 'actually it's a 'he''! Oh well. It's a bit like names such as Alex, Sam, etc. There's just no telling if it's a girls name or a boys name.

I have a friend called Cacey, he's a 27 year old man and he carries it well. He's not girly. I suppose because I associate it with him, but I see it as a boys name.

I like it for a boy more than a girls name and in the USA it is very normal for it to be a boy's name.
