What do you think of Casey?

...And when you see it do you think boy or girl? My DH suggested it for our little man & i think it's ok but not sure(he was thinking of Casey Jones the RR engineer at the time) The other names we have on our list are Thomas or Daniel & my other son's names are Jesse & William & our last name is Hook.

Casey is a gorgeous name and I think it works for both.

Love it for a boy, but not for a girl.

I think it is a fantastic name.....but i guess i'm a bit bias as its my name! I have heard it used for both boy and girl name and i think it works well for both. It also means Brave in Irish.

I always think of it as a girl's name

Gorgeous name for a boy, just be aware that with your surname, it will sometimes read as: C Hook (chook).

Good luck deciding!

I like it for a boy but definitely not a girl. I think Casey for boy and Cassie for a girl. I think Casey would work well with your other boys names.

Love it for a boy :-)

Casey is a great name. I know a little boy called Casey.

I know a few girls called Casey.
But had a (male) horse, his name was Casey but we shortened it to Case.

I like it for a boy, makes me think of Casey Stoner the motorbike rider.

I like it for both. Always thought if it as a boy but now have a friend Casey, and it fits girls too.

I always think boy but my DS is called Kees (pronounced case) so he gets called Casey all the time.

My other DS has a boy in his rugby team called Casey but my brothers friends has a daughter called Kasey so it really is a uni sex name.

I really like Casey, for boy and girl :)
I think it goes well with your other boys names.

I think it is fine for both...I knew a Kasey (female) when I was younger, so I alway think of that name as feminine.

I love it for both boy and girl one of my friends has a girl - Kasy
and another friend has a boy - Casey

My beautiful neice is Casey :)

But i have heard of boys called Casey and i don't mind it.

I have known girls Casey and Kasey.
Not known a boy with name but there is a male Casey on home and away

I had a friend whenI was a little kid named Casey. She was a real tomboy !! I have always associated the name with girls because thats all I have known ITMS x x

Thankyou for all your opinions everyone ,much appreciated:) I had to laugh at the C Hook ,read as chook reference :D Thankfully our last name is pronounced Hook but it isn't spelt that way ,i just spell it like that on line for security reasons . I'm still not entirely sure about it although i do like it, i guess we'll just have to wait & see what our little boy looks like when he comes out:)

I like it for a girl. I think it has a feminine ring to it. I think the "ee" sound at the end makes it that way for me. I never liked any name that ended in an "ee" sound when I was picking boys names for my 2 kids. That's just me though.

I think of it as a girls names and I dont really think it goes with your other boys names. I like thomas

I've seen it either way - taught a female casey and friends have a boy Casey. suits both with that name

Whilst it would never be on my list I think Casey is a fine name for a boy or girl. I have a girl friend called Casey and she is lovely so maybe I am a bit prejudiced.

Yes i've only ever met girls called casey & i had a female cat called casey lol but it was spelled with a k .One of the things that bothered me about it was casey anthony .I know a lot of Australians probably don't know who she is but she is an American woman who murdered her daughter(she was found not guilty but most ppl including my self don't believe that) It's probably a bit petty to let that influence me i suppose but it's there all the same.I'm trying to like it more because my DH does but personally i like Thomas better:)
