Just that really - if you hear Casey, do you think boy or girl?

I know the name is unisex, just wondered about first impressions.

Boy,only ever known one and he is American.

@CrazyArmadilloLady I'm looking for boys names and I think I really like this for a boy - but a bit worried it's too girly / people would assume girl. So thought I'd poll!

Boy. I've never heard of it for a girl before.

Either boy or girl.
It's a surname in Ireland.

Boy

Rainydaysandicecream · 23/06/2023 09:44

Only know it as a surname

TokenGinger · 23/06/2023 09:47

I would automatically think boy, but that's only because two of my partner's male relatives are called that, but spelt Ksee (they're not British, hence the different spelling).

fantasmasgoria1 · 23/06/2023 10:00

I think of both girl and boy. At DDs school there was a female Casey.

XelaM · 23/06/2023 10:04

Boy.

Have never met a female Casey. Have met male Caseys.
