Kacey vs Kacie

[somethinglike7820]

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

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

Thank you x

Thanks so much for all your responses so far. Interesting, I was leaning more towards Kacie, but after reading these comments I think I'm swaying towards Kacey now! It's so hard to choose!

Katie/Katy isn't an option for us, it's too common and we just don't really like it.

Quite like @Porridgeoat's suggestion of Acacia with Casey as a nickname, that's something for us to think about.

Please keep the responses coming

I know a Kacie, awful name though, it has a certain vibe.

Kacey is a very established and popular spelling for girls in the states so I'd go with that. I prefer the Casey spelling but would assume male.

The one I know is a Kaci. I think Kacey looks better though.

Kacie. It looks softer and more feminine to me.

🤣🤣🤣

I've yacht a Kacey, a Kaci and a Kacei (not a typo)

Obviously the yacht is a typo! I've taught. It's late

Neither vs neither?!

Casey - please don’t spell it with a k.

We have a Kacey.
Be prepared for people spelling it Casey, and questioning your spelling though.
I didn't like the Casey way either - I thought the K and c in the middle looked more girly. Also all the names which rhyme with it, would never be spelt with an s in the middle.

I know a mum with a daughter called Cadie. She would have gone for the full Arcadia in hindsight.

@AfterSchoolWorry

@AfterSchoolWorry @HopeClearwater I meant common as in, widely used, i.e. high up the popularity charts... not common as in class wise if that's what you thought I meant? Otherwise I don't see what's funny.

Normally the -sey ending is female and the -sie ending is male (Lesley/Leslie)

Casey.

Kaysee

Kacey for sure. Far better than Kacie and infinitely more interesting than Katie.. 😁

@AfterSchoolWorry

I know, the irony.

Cassandra nickname Cassie or Casey?

I really don’t see the issue with the name Kacey/Kacie. It’s not ridiculously outlandish or silly as a name. It’s pretty, not too common but not too unusual. People often suggest names like Nancy or Clementine on here which I personally really dislike. However, I see that there isn’t really anything wrong with them, it’s just a difference of taste.

I don’t understand what’s meant by ‘it has a certain vibe’ either. I can’t think of any bad associations with the name Kacey. Unless you mean it’s similar to Lacy/Macy which are quite popular.

🤣🤣🤣

That has really made me laugh, too.

Would you be kind enough to explain to me why spelling a 'known name' the way it is normally spelled, isn't an option ?

I don't understand why you would want to make life difficult for your own child ?

Genuine question. I just never understand it.

Kacey definitely

@BackforGood I love different spellings it makes my life so much easier. I have to rapidly learn and recall dozens of kids and when they are all called Ellie and Jake it is a total headspin.
