Help[Opinions] Re: Casey
in reply to a message by Billina
It's not a bad name but it is nms. It works better for a boy than for a girl imo, but it works for both genders.
It sounds cool but it also sounds like it is trying to be cool, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion as long as it isn't over the top about trying to be cool, and this name is not over the top imo.
Casey sounds a little immature but I feel that way about many names that end in -y or -ie or -i. It doesn't help that the only Casey I knew was an immature boy, of course I knew him in elementary school so everyone was immature especially the boys. Of course the kids who tried to not be immature were the worst since they were often the meanest and acted like they were better than everyone else. Kids should be kids and kids are immature.
Casey makes me think of the early and mid 1990's. It feels like a name that matches well with Taylor, Jordan, Jesse, Jessica, and Cameron.
I heard a great idea though. The person who is basically my mother-in-law almost named her daughter this combo, Keira Cicely. She had planned on calling her KC, which sounds like Casey. Also if someone had a surname that began with C they could give their child a first name that starts with K and then call them KC as well. I like this KC nn option because it allows the kid more options.
For example someone named Keiran Cedric would probably go by Keiran and / or KC depending on who they are and their personality. My partners younger sister loves her name which is Ceilidh but she tells me she would have also loved being Keira nn KC.
