What do you think of this name for a boy

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?

Jace is ok, but prefer Mace. Theo, or even Trio like the chocolate bar are both ok.

reginafelangee · 08/10/2019 22:06

Kace is awful sorry.

Theo is alright.

Don't like the rest.

@Cam77 I love Mace until hubby pointed out its a weapon! Quite a violent one too lol

Mace is also a nice spice.

Majorcollywobble · 08/10/2019 22:13

Kace as a name might sentence the child to awful jokes -
Especially if linked with Head , nut, or basket .

Case, Casey is nice. Only person I recall is Casey Kasem who did American top 40 chart on radio in 80s, 90s. Also was the voice of Shaggy in Scooby doo Grin

What about Kade as in short for Kayden?

user1493494961 · 08/10/2019 22:24

Theo is nice, don't like any of the others, Kace is particularly awful.

thebakerwithboobs · 08/10/2019 22:26

I am biased here as one of ours is Asher, i can remember my MIL being horrified by it and saying 'that's new fangled, is it from a book??' Er, yes, a rather old one too...🙄 People do often think it's a girls' name though.

AhNowTed · 08/10/2019 22:27

Sorry it's a no.

Theo is a great name.

Boireannachlaidir · 08/10/2019 22:38

"Kace, pronounced Case" Grin

Oh god I do love this site. Thanks OP, nice one!

I loooooove Tristan.

Please don't name your child Kace. Confused

XXcstatic · 08/10/2019 22:56

I like Casey but Kace is just cruel because he'll spend his entire life having it mis-pronounced. If you like the sound of the name, call him Casey - you can always shorten it to Case in the family.

I like your other choices too - don't see the problem with shortening to Ash.

Rachelover60 · 08/10/2019 22:59

Ooh Asher! Do you remember, 'A brimful of Asha" by Corner Shop - everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

notso · 08/10/2019 23:03

I'd use it as a middle name and go for something else, maybe Justin as a first name.

AlexTheKid · 08/10/2019 23:09

If you like Asher do you like Archer?

I love Theo (& Leo)

IVflytrap · 09/10/2019 01:48

I like Asher and Tristan. Their is nice but a bit over done.

Asa (As in Asa Butterfield. Pronounced Ay-sa.)
Leon / Leo
Nate
Jay
Keir
Kester
Elias
Roscoe
Jasper
Xavier
Oscar
Elliot
Wade
Casper
Cassian
Lucas
Dashiell

Goldiegorilla · 09/10/2019 02:22

I’ve known a couple of Ashers, lovely name.

How about Mason? Or Fraser? Or Darcy?

diddlediddle · 09/10/2019 04:23

Asher and Tristan are both nice solid names with a classic history and will allow your son to grow up to be whoever he wants.

Kace is absolutely dreadful I'm afraid and would pigeonhole your son into a particular social group.

Astronica · 09/10/2019 04:41

I dislike Kace. I really like Theo from your list, and Tristan is okay.

Caspar
Leo
Jasper
Milo

😂🤣😂🤣😂

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 09/10/2019 10:24

I have a Theo and it's not common at all here (Scotland).

I also love Leo. If you like that hard K sound, how about Kit or Kester (which is the old form of Christopher). Both work as nns for Christopher too.
