Kacey vs Kacie

Hi all,

We like the name Kacey/Kacie for our DD, but can't decide which spelling looks better. I'm leaning slightly towards one of them but I'd like to hear other people's thoughts first. We know that Casey is the traditional spelling but we much prefer the other two so don't suggest Casey please Smile

So out of Kacey and Kacie, which do you like better?

Thank you x

Secondary school teacher here. We have a few at school and they are all Kacey I think, if that sways you at all!

It's not the kind of name I like usually, but I actually love the way it sounds out loud. Nicer than Kayley/Kayleigh I think, and we've got a fair few of those too!

It's not my style of name, but I think if you don't want to use the traditional Casey (which I think of as a male name anyway) Kacey is the better spelling.

Kacie just doesn't look right.

Kacey

Prettybluepigeons · 20/09/2020 13:52

Neither.
Katy would work though.

ALLIS0N · 20/09/2020 13:53

Neither.

Go for Katie or Katy if you like the sound.

SallySeven · 20/09/2020 13:55

Probably Kacey.

len1234 · 20/09/2020 14:01

I think Kacey looks nicer personally. Smile

lucymagoo · 20/09/2020 14:35

Either are lovely! I'd lean towards Kacey. Much better than the more dull Katie people seem to be suggesting Hmm

len1234 · 20/09/2020 14:57

@lucymagoo I agree, I really dislike Katie.

percheron67 · 20/09/2020 14:57

Dreadful name whichever way it is spelt.

MonsterRehab23 · 20/09/2020 14:59

I knew a Kacee (from US).

AlicjaCross · 20/09/2020 15:01

Neither. Spell it properly with a C.

tornadoalley · 20/09/2020 15:11

Much nicer and more usual spelt with a C

Kanaloa · 20/09/2020 15:15

I like Kacey best. No real reason except that I think it looks nicer!

WettnWild · 20/09/2020 15:22

Had a male friend called Casey so I think of that spelling as masculine anyway but for a girl I would use Kacey.

qazxc · 20/09/2020 15:25

I'd lean towards the Kasey, spelling.

qazxc · 20/09/2020 15:26

Sorry Kacey, my autocorrect had a different idea.

notheragain4 · 20/09/2020 15:28

Kacey, because Kacey Musgraves is my queen Grin

Porridgeoat · 20/09/2020 15:28

What about the longer name acacia (after the tree) and then nick name Casey. Kasie kasy looks bit too creative

Anappleaday1 · 20/09/2020 16:13

Kacey

Brighterthansunflowers · 20/09/2020 16:49

Kacey

SoftMick · 20/09/2020 16:52

I know a Kasey. Just to add that in to the mix.

oiboi · 20/09/2020 16:54

Kasie

Thefaceofboe · 20/09/2020 19:12

I prefer Kasie but it is more ‘cutesy’. Kasey might be better when the child is older.

Thefaceofboe · 20/09/2020 19:12

Sorry I meant Kacie / Kacey Smile
