[Opinions] Casey and Anthony
Replies
I like Anthony and Antony, but not Tony. Perhaps because my Antoinette friend is known as Toni! Anton, stress on first syllable, is my preferred nn. Another friend's brother is Ian Antony; their mother insisted on that spelling in case Anthony might be pronounced with a -th- instead of a -t-; nobody knew why this would be likely with a mn, but she was determined!
I've never met a Casey, it seems solidly American to me. Like pronouncing the -th- in Anthony? It seems lacking in character somehow.

Anthony, or even Antony, is a yes. Casey is a big no as a first name.
I have a soft spot for Casey and I have no idea why. I think of toddlers in striped overalls, and cream-coloured teddy bears. It's an odd thing. Not sure I'd ever use it, but I don't hate it.

Yuck. Both names evoke spoiled jock brats from my suburban hometown.

Anthony has always sounded whiny to me.
Casey is ok. I don’t like it much for a girl.

I actually like both. But I wouldn't use the two together.
Yeah, I agree, the pairing is weird and a bit whiny.
I enjoy both of these names! I think Casey is a good name for both boys and girls, and I think Anthony has a nice sound.
