Honest opinions please - is Casey a chavvy name?

[NewbieT]

Apologies in advance for the suggestion it might me, no offence intended if you have a Casey! I love the name, it's DH who thinks it might be a bit chavvy.

I love it for a boy or girl. I also like it as it's an Irish surname, reflects my family background (not DHs).

Thanks!

I don't know about chavvy, but I'm not a big fan, personally, of surnames-as-first-names.

It is much much better for a boy than a girl

Can't stop humming 'Casey Jones' themetune so its a no from me

eeer I would say yes, sorry

I know an Irish girl Casey and it suits her very well.

Personally I don't like it when 'twinned' with other names eg Casey-Mae, Casey-Lou etc.

yup, v chavvy...sorry!

I actually love it for a girl. I think it's way too feminine for a boy imo. Darren Hayes did a song called Casey it's on youtube and it's lovely. Made me love the name even more.

yep

I think it is.

I know a Kaycee-Mae......lovely girl but I do cringe at the name.

I think it might be.

Whatever chavvy means, and what an awful term etc etc.

My DS has a Kacie in his class.

I've also heard of a KC, but admit to not meeting said child myself.

It is chavvy I'm afraid

it's a bit chavvy yes

I know a Cayce and a Kacee.
Also know a pitbull on our estate called Casey.
Avoid.

I agree with your dh.

I'm afraid I agree with your DH - sorry. Cassie is lovely for a girl though

Oh dear... I must admit I wouldn't consider Kaycee or Kaycie but Casey seems like a strong, traditional, but still cute name to me. It's to go with a one-syllable surname also beginning with C, I really like alliterative names but can't think of many 'C' names I like! suggestions welcome

The only Casey I ever knew was a (male) drug dealer.

Sorry, that's not terribly helpful, is it?

'Fraid so.

How about Carey?

Connor
Callum
Ceri
Carl
Charles
Cosmo

yes

Not wonderful, imo; esp for a boy.

I have a Cassie (girl) whicj changes the whole tone - worth considering?

Carey..cassie... I like them a lot, thank you

Appreciate all the answers though, even the ones taking DH's side

Yes, sorry it is.

I know two K-C s if you want to give it a more unusual spelling

There again I know 2 so its not that unusal. They do live in different towns though.
