Is Casey truly unisex?

[StreepS]

What do you think of the name Casey? What is the overall vibe of the name? Before you met a Casey, would you assume them to be a man or a woman?

It’s an awful name. Very American.

This is true. I was suggesting alternatives

@MadeForThis , I know two Caseys (male), a female Kaci-Something and a Casei.

Have taught a few Caseys over the past 15 years, all girls. Definitely associate it as a girl's name. Associate it with names like Lacie - not super popular but probably belonging to a girl born between 2005 and 2020.

It was used as a first name by certain elements of the Irish diaspora in the US, like the annoying muddle that is ‘Caitlin’, which is the Irish name ‘Cáitlín’ (pronounced Coytleen or Coytchleen) mispronounced by someone who’s only seen it written down, doesn’t understand Irish orthography and thinks fadas are just decorative. Then got copied by the kind of Americans who think it’s cute to call girls Blake and Baxter. None of this means it’s a nice name. It’s like calling your daughter Smith.

Exactly this 👆🏼. He was a man & I would expect Casey to be male.

I would assume girl, but the rough estates they use it for both.

I would think American surfer dude, probably mates with Kelly Slater and Laird Hamilton.

"It’s a surname. Using it as a first name for either sex has social class connotation, which may of course not bother you. But in general, if you wouldn’t call your child Smith, Singh or Evans, don’t call it Casey or Sullivan."

Have you ever been to Scotland or Northern Ireland?

Definitely a woman.

But it's a weird name that doesn't sound like an actual name at all. Just sounds like a normal word with an "ee" ending.

If you had three babies, you could name them Casey, Pursey, and Handbaggy! 🤣🤣🤣

I know one girl (14) and three males (4,24 and 30s)

I know a boy and a girl called Casey. I like it for either.

I would probably assume Man, but the only Casey I know is real life is a Woman! It suits her.

I've only ever heard it for females.
Don't like it.

I would assume USA male.

Definitely a boy's name for me

Unisex name for me. I've met female American Casey's before but perhaps spelt differently

Unisex for me!

Do you know how Australians pronounce Megan? I dare them to do that in Wales.

I went to school with a Casey (boy) but the two Caseys I currently know as an adult are both female, so in my experience either!!

Casey Casey you’re the divil, when you get behind the wheel

I would assume American. At which point all bets are off.

I think it's a true unisex name. Though I personally love it for a boy :)

I would always see a Casey as female.

I have known, personally, a female Casey, and follow a male artist named Casey.

I wouldn’t assume gender by this name. Some gender neutral names I can see as more one or the other depending on how many I know. Ashley for example, I’ve know 1 female but several males. So it feels more masculine to me.

Boy.

I've seen it spelt Kacie for a boy too which looks too much like Katie.
