Update, were back to carter. ThTs been bubs name since day 1. If i want ill call him kc anyways Xx
We sort of fell in love with Casey, as my dh's dad called him KC (initials) before he left. Sort of would represent a lot.

What do you think?

Casey Wilson (dh middle name)
Casey James

We are in the US, fyi. I can't stand all the good boys names becoming unisex around here!!!!! just being petty.

If you don't like unisex names it's worth noting that in the UK Casey is only a girl's name. And a slightly dated one too.

I'm not sure about it but probably because I'm used to it as a girl's name, but it goes nicely with James.

 

[babylove x]

It's really a girl name there?! It's originally a boy name here, but girls seem to be taking over.

Do you have any suggestions for boys that are similar, either casey could be short for.. or that start with a k, so we can call him KC... ?

 

[Boo44]

Kevin, Kelvin, Kieron

(I still like carter!!)

 

[babylove x]

what about KYLER!!

We seem to have gotten real hung up over Casey, even topping Carter!! I would just opt to spell it Karter, so I could call him KC.. But I absolutely do not like Carter with a K

Boys are so hard.

It is a girls name over here but I much prefer it as a boys, like Casey Affleck. Unless you're planning on emigrating I wouldn't let it change your mind.

 

[babylove x]

I looked around the US and the trend for naming girls that has been on a steep decline for years now, sooo hopefully that means it won't be such an issue for him current year.. if that makes sense?

That name took us by surprise, I think the value of it to us more than anything.

Thank you.


edit-- you have no idea how bad I would love to emigrate

I like it . It makes me think of an easy going, genuine kind of guy . It is a girls name here but I think it suits a boy much better.

 

[RandaPanda]

I love it for both a boy or a girl, and even though it's unisex, I don't think it's one of those names that people would really go "that's a boy's name" or "that's a girl's name" if it was used on the opposite sex...I just think it works well for either. And in Canada, I'd associate it a bit more with boys. And I like it with James...a classic, strong guys name.

 

[Noodlebear]

I think it sounds more like a girl's name if I'm honest. (I live in the UK though)

 

[DissySunshine]

Casey James sounds very, very masculine to me! Almost makes me think old western days (hope you don't take that negatively!) I think it's awesome. He could always be a CJ, too. Don't let other's opinions bring you down. Do what you like, especially if it's not THAT out there of a name.

 

[babylove x]

Thank you everyone, the more input the better! Im happy the popularity overall is like non existant haha i would like boys to take that name back over. I think it suits boys better as well i have known both growing up! Western isnt offensive maybe hell like country music with his momma cause his sister isnt a fan

Thats how i feel like hes going to be, if that makes sense? Ive said from day one i think hes going to be very quiet, and shy, i dont think hellbe as independent as Anna has been. Not in a bad way, hes just going to be differemt from her. So im glad you said that!

Check out the SSI/SSA US baby names website - it's the most accurate way to see how popular a name is!

I just looked up Casey and over the past 40 yrs it has never even been in the top 1000 for a girl!! In 2013 it ranked #490 for a boy! It was most popular in the 80s, as a boy's name. The most popular it ever was, was in 1987 when it came in at #80.

I LOVE the name Casey for a boy!!!

Every male Casey I have ever known has been very good looking!! In high school I had a huge crush on a gorgeous boy named Casey!! And there have been two American Idol Top 10 finalists named Casey over the past few years!! Casey James was one of my favorite - he's soo handsome!!

My friend named her son Casey last year.

I suggested this name to my SIL, but she ignored me - LOL.

I also love the name Carson! And Kyler!! They are all on my list!

 

[BethHx]

I'm not keen.
I'm in the uk and know 3 girl Casey's age 18-25 and 1 boy Casey age 10 months.
I feel it's an out dated name x

WE'VE GOT THE SAME TASTES!!!!! That is hilarious!!!! I think I need to lay off google though.

Where roughly in the states are you?

 

[wannabemomy37]

I'm in the states also and I think Casey is a lovely name for boy or girl. I really see it equally either gender, not a boy name used on a girl or vice versa.

I know a guy named Kacy who also goes by "KC" and I think this spelling makes more sense if you want the initials KC.

Also I'd go against the grain here and say I love Casey Wilson moreso than Casey James!! I really like the name Wilson as it's more unique

Other options:
Karson
Kasen
Kyson

 

[RubyRainbows]

I'm in PA - you?

 

[Wriggley]

Im in the UK and definetly see it as a boys name but thats probably because I have recently watched the TV series Chuck where the main NSA agent is called Casey.

Also spelt like that i wouldnt think its a girls name - Kasey on the other had is girly to me lol

 

[babylove x]

I think the k variations make ppl mpre inclined to think girl by first impression when they see it ! I like wilson itd be after his dad n gpas middle names
