Casey for a boy?

[Anonymous]

I love the name, but I'm stuck on the issue that it feels like a kid name and not a name for a man? Thoughts?

Feels kind of 80's to me, but that might be because it makes me think of Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It's not awful, but if you like it I'd try to think of more formal names that can be shortened to Casey rather than giving a name that sounds like a nickname as a given name. How 'bout Cassius?

Yuck.

It sounds dated to me, but I don't think it's childish. I had an 8th grade student named Casey a few years ago, and it was unique without being confusing.

I will say I have a LOT of Cassie/Cassy/Kacie/Kasey girls coming through my room lately.

Was just about to say this.

If you use the name, plan to skip baseball.

I knew a Casey in high school. His last name was Diaz.

I was very confused when I first heard his name in roll call. Casey Diaz? Quesadillas?

I had a friend growing up with the name Kevin Charles and he was called Casey (K.C.). Something like that might work and also give your child a number of options as he grows up.

LOL! If your last name isn't Diaz, I think Casey is fine for an adult - like Carey.

My brother is named Charles but goes by Casey. He has since childhood (he is in his late 30s now.)

My son has a friend named Casey. He's a cool kid and a super jock.

I would think Cassie and Cassy would be pronounced different than Kacie, Kasey, Casey.

I think Cassie and Cassy would rhyme with sassy. And would most likely be a nickname for Cassandra.
Kacie, Kasey, Casey would rhyme with Macy.

I love it. And Casey Neistat is awesome!

I like it as a standalone name, but love it as this nickname.

That's exactly what I picture a Casey to be.

I love the name for a boy and don't think it's childish. I prefer it to Brayden.
