What do you think of this name for a boy

113 replies

Kace for a boy? Pronounced Case. I'm worried it's a bit too trendy and chav but really like it.

Other options are;

Theo
Ashton
Asher
Tristan

But I'm just not feeling them as much especially as it will get shortened to Ash. Also Theo a bit popular at the moment.

Thoughts please?

Horrific.

Peachbubble · 08/10/2019 20:16

It's a no from me. My first thought was it was pronounced Kacey, like the girls name.

Hey1256 · 08/10/2019 20:17

Thanks! Any thoughts on the other names? It so hard I have a long list of girls names but jo bloody boys and don't want to wait until the time and end up stressing out!

Don’t like it I’m afraid. But I am a bit of a stick in the mud.

Newearringsplease · 08/10/2019 20:17

Ashton's nice , but the rest........

Bunnybigears · 08/10/2019 20:18

Nope, how about Chase or Jace?

Hey1256 · 08/10/2019 20:20

I'm not keen on Chase or Jace at all, who'd have thought naming a baby would be so bloody difficult!

Theo is nice but there are a lot of them about, and I think it will date fast.

Tristan isn't one I'd use but it's ok.

Ashton and Asher are really not great.

NannyR · 08/10/2019 20:21

I personally don't like it at all. I love Tristan and Asher, Theo is a great name too, it's not over popular.

BrutusMcDogface · 08/10/2019 20:22

I’m pretty sure Casey can be a boys name? Though he might get picked on if he’s not cool though to pull it off?! Wink

Shakirasma · 08/10/2019 20:25

Casey is a boys name more often than a girls, and certainly not one to be picked on!

Not keen on Kace as a name in it's own right though.

GinaCarbonara · 08/10/2019 20:26

Love Tristan, like Theo and Asher as well.

pikapikachu · 08/10/2019 20:26

The only Casey I know is Casey Affleck who I'm pretty sure is accused of sexual harassment.

BrutusMcDogface · 08/10/2019 20:26

Shak- I expect it depends on where you live.

Troels · 08/10/2019 20:46

Casey is a boy name, I have a nephew Ashton who's in his 20's I like that name. Ashton Kutcher was partner to Demi Moore for a while.
Casey Jones the train driver it was on TV in the 70's

Theo and Tristan not so much.
pumkinseason · 08/10/2019 20:52

Like Tristan and Theodore.

MissHenty · 08/10/2019 21:27

I really like Theo. Don’t actually know any in my children’s schools

How about

Rex
Rudi/Rudy
Milo/Miles
Hunter
Jackson
Eli
Ellis
Peter

MissHenty · 08/10/2019 21:28

Ps. Tristan is really nice

Pixilicious · 08/10/2019 21:31

Ashton is the best of a very bad bunch

Loveislandaddict · 08/10/2019 21:31

Lace - no.

Other names - fine. You don’t hear many Tristans around.

newmummalion · 08/10/2019 21:37

I like Tristan, and Casey, but not Kase.

Poochnewbie · 08/10/2019 21:38

I have a Theo and I love it. It means gift from God.
Asher is lovely too. It’s biblical and I think it means ‘he laughs’.

Lace is not a name I’d choose.

Poochnewbie · 08/10/2019 21:39
  • Kace
SlothRunner · 08/10/2019 21:42

Asher is my fave. I like Casey too.

ilovetofu · 08/10/2019 21:59

Casey is better.
I like Theo too.
