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?

Asher is lovely

Scarlett555 · 09/10/2019 12:23

Just call the poor kid Oliver or Ben

We met a Kace on holiday. He was 11 and Dutch. I’m not sure how he spelt it though. I had to ask him to repeat it to check I had heard correctly. I think it’s fine name though.

I'm sorry but they are all awful.

No no no Kace. Asher or Tristan are the best of your list.

Could that be Kees?

@Boireannachlaidir I'm not sure what you're getting at. Are you sneering at the original post somehow?

BigFatBloomers · 09/10/2019 14:33

The Dutch version is spelled Kees but pronounced Case.

Ah I see. Well he was a lovely boy Smile.

Only person I recall is Casey Kasem who did American top 40 chart on radio in 80s, 90s.

That's who I immediately thought of too. Also Casey & The Sunshine Band Grin

Not a fine of Kace, personally. Expect him to be nicknamed Cake. I like Theo, but it's becoming the new Jack or Oliver. Asher is nice, but if people aren't familiar with it, they'll hear the last syllable as an 'a' and assume it's a girl's name - like (Na)Tasha or Sasha (yes, I know Sacha is a boy's name in some European countries, but it isn't commonly in the UK).

@Scarlett555 no thanks because they're boring names. I've never been one for boring, sorry.

Also, Asher is a biblical traditional name it's not all that trendy so I'm not sure why he'd be a 'poor child' not being called Ben or Oliver. Please useful suggestions only!

@Hey1256 my lb is Chael (ch -ay -el) I really liked it because it's odd, his middle name is Maverick- I actually don't mind Kace :) I liked Abel, Braydon and Chase as well x

Angliski · 09/10/2019 17:13

Kies, Kees is a legitimate Dutch boys name so why not. I love Asher

Nonnymum · 09/10/2019 17:22

Casey is OK for a boy I've never heard of Kace though is it an American name?

Hey1256 · 09/10/2019 17:32

It does sound American but it's actually Irish when I google it

@Hey1256 call him Casey and use Case for short x

Starrynights86 · 09/10/2019 17:50

It’s a Dutch name, you actually spell it Kees.

Love Asher from your list and, as others have said probably prefer Casey to Kace but I have a DS named Hayden which gets slammed as 'chavvy' on here but we're not chavvy at all and so pleased we picked it (he's now 8) so definitely just go with what you like!

TilandPop · 09/10/2019 19:07

I love Asher

Hey1256 · 09/10/2019 19:17

After much thought and opinions on this thread my list is now shorter - I think It'll be either Tristan and Asher!

Kace is out the window lol

Casey is too girly for me

Your Tristan or Asher will be just gorgeous and will love his name, good luck! Smile

Oakandlove · 09/10/2019 19:59

Tristan is beautiful with a lovely history/legend behind it

LemonPrism · 09/10/2019 22:33

Stupid.

Casey is a boys name too

Chocmallows · 09/10/2019 22:42

Out of the two I think Tristan sounds like a stronger name.
