I really strongly dislike it on boys and girls, but I think the Casey spelling slightly better for boys. I've known both, though. I dislike it for three main reasons:
1. It is derived from an obscure Irish surname. I don't know why names like this bug me so much; as far as I can tell, there is no logic behind it. It may not even be a real reason, but I'm finding that it's a common factor in names I strongly dislike.
2. It sounds incredibly nicknamey, but it isn't a nickname.
3. Phonetically, it's very, VERY cutesy. Each syllable is formulaic in forming "cute" names. Casey, Caden, Lacey, Kaylee, Riley, etc. I'm very sick of both "kay" and "-ee." The S is okay, though, I guess.
I'm really bad with spontaneous combos, but you have pretty good lists already :) Just thought you might like to hear a more involved opposing viewpoint.
