I previously posted asking opinions on the names Ada and Jessica for baby girl due March however this name has now popped into my list.....

Thoughts on the name and which spelling would you go for ?

I wouldn't use it whatever the spelling. Unimaginative and boring. Likewise Stacey.

Clangus00 · 06/01/2020 10:31

Casey, but I consider it to be a boy’s name.
Jessica is much nicer.

FluffyEggsontoast · 06/01/2020 10:46

Horrible. Really bad
Ada and Jessica are lovely though

FluffyEggsontoast · 06/01/2020 10:47

Very downmarket
People will judge (I’m sorry I’d love to say I wouldn’t but I would 🙈). It depends if you care or not x

Awful. Ada is lovely. Jessica is fine.

nicannie · 06/01/2020 10:52

Thank you for your responses, I heard it in a film yday and kept running it through my head, I couldn't decide if I liked it or not!! But I guess I was right my original two shortlisted names were better :) Thanks everyone

Casey is the only ok spelling. I'd think it was a boy too, although I know of two girl Caseys (one with yoonique spelling), and one boy.

Kacie

I went to school with both a Casey and a Kacy. The Kacy was American. Both girls. Not a name you hear that often, but I like it. I also work with a female Casey.

Flymetothestars · 06/01/2020 14:29

Sounds downmarket to me too
Tracey-ish

Love Ada and Jessica though

NearlyGranny · 06/01/2020 14:40

Heck, if you're going that route, go all out for Kaci, KC, Ka'cee or Cay*see.

Why hold back? Make certain the adult DC is spelling it out to incredulous strangers every day for the rest of their life and growing their hair to cover the name badge work will give them.

nicannie · 06/01/2020 14:55

Lol ok @NearlyGranny, stay calm....

Reminds me of when I tried to find a colleague’s email in the address book. I couldn’t... the spelling of her name was Cayce 😶

Go with Ada.

user1493494961 · 06/01/2020 16:17

I'd go with Jessica, agree with pp, Kasie etc. is very downmarket.

Changedname81 · 06/01/2020 17:03

I really want to like it but it reminds me of Casey Anthony 😬

ifoundthebread · 06/01/2020 17:05

Lowest of the low here, my daughter is named Casey, only issue we had was with her speech problems she pronounced it Katie.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 06/01/2020 17:30

I think you were American it would be fine. Perfectly lovely and a bit edgy. But if you're in the UK then I'm afraid it doesn't work quite as well for predictably snobby, but honest reasons pointed out earlier. It is what it is.

IdentifyasTired · 06/01/2020 18:44

I like it, fashion and status be damned. It has a soft lilty sound to it and the only Casey/Kasies I have known have been lovely girls.
Also have a fondness for Kayleigh.

DramaAlpaca · 06/01/2020 22:07

It's not in the same league as Jessica or Ada.

Whatsyourflava · 06/01/2020 23:56

Bit downmarket sorry
Love Jessica and Ada though

NearlyGranny · 07/01/2020 02:16

Ada is beautiful and she will have a rôle model in Ada Lovelace (until the unfortunate gambling habit kicked in!) Plus it can't be shortened. It also goes well with single and multi-syllabic family names. Jessica is more popular and gets shortened, but it's a classic Shakespearean choice.

She will thank you when she grows up. I met a D'Quivious once so I do feel for the children growing up with quirky names and spellings. 😉

Coughy4u · 07/01/2020 02:21

Love jessica and Casey. I only know female Casey's.. i'd think it's s girly name for a boy tbh. Dislike Ada, strange to pronounce.

PointlessUsername · 07/01/2020 02:32

Jessica is a boring
And Ada makes me think of an old lady.

Casey, i like.

Hundredacrewoods · 07/01/2020 02:42

Surprised at these responses! I don’t think Casey (spelled that way) is considered downmarket where I am.

bombaychef · 07/01/2020 08:42

Where I am it would be deemed as they new Stacey (no offence meant) and downmarket.
