Best way of spelling?

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.

Kacie
Kacey
Kacy
Kasey
Kaci

Yeah Kacey is what I think I'll go with, agree that kasey will get confused with cassie too much

Kacey is the one I'd go for from your list. Kasey or s variations could become confused with Cassie (at least in my brain!)

I know 2 girls and a boy who all spell it Casey, it is unisex.

Always liked it ponyboy, would have considered it for a DD myself but didn't quite work with surname! Nice as a surname too :)

mummypiggy I genuinely think of Casey as unisex, and do like that spelling best regardless but totally get that you like the sound of the name but feel the traditional spelling too masculine.

Anyway.. I think I've made my mind up about it so thanks everyone who actually helped pick a name off MY list haha.

Not really keen on any of your spellings -- all look a bit made up whereas Casey looks like a real name.

Thank you..

Bear in mind this is a girl, spelling it Casey is for a boy, I.e Casey affleck, Ben afflecks brother.

Ha ha @ Lucy!

What about KC kidding

Yep agree Casey is the nicer spelling. I am all about convention when it comes to names!!

Thanks, I'm aware of the American spelling Casey but I think it's more for a boy. From what I've read Kacie is a modern English version. I prefer it with K. I originally liked the name from seeing that girl Kacie on the bachelor on TV x

I always assumed the name Casey was for a boy, so perhaps a different spelling would be better for a girl? I think I would prefer Kacey out of your suggested spellings. I definitely wouldn't go for Kaci because I'd worry people would pronounce it with a hard "c" i.e. Kack-ee, which is definitely not nice!

An alternative would be to name her Katrina Chloe or something and call her K.C. for short.

Casey

Can I suggest Carey? Always had a wee soft spot for it!

I think Casey would be the best spelling.

All the others look like feminised spellings, and I don't think your DS would thank you for that.

I think of Casey Jones too - do children still sing the song?

The only Casey I know is spelled Casey.
