Kaylee or Casey? (more)
I fell in love with Casey for a girl. I don't mind it on a boy at all, I just prefer it on a girl. I think it's sweet and strong at the same time. Do you think it's dated to the 80s? Do you prefer it on a boy or a girl? Casey or Kasey? How many do you know (boys and girls)?Oh and a while back I liked Kaylee. If you had to choose between Casey (any spelling) and Kaylee (any spelling) for a girl: which one and why?What's your favorite spelling of Kaylee? How many have you met and how did they spell it? Oh and I know many people don't like these names. I probably wouldn't use them either. Not completely sure, though.

I think both Kaylee and Casey are pretty but those are my least favorite spellings. Kaylee looks the most juvenile to me of all possible spellings. I prefer Kaley or Kailey. Casey looks too "tomboyish" to me so I actually like it better with a K such as Kacey or Kacie. Good luck!

I only like Casey on a boy. In fact it is my next name up for a boy.
I have known four boy Casey's I believe, one is spelled with a K.
I have known three girl Casey's I think, one at least is with a K also, not sure about one of the others.Kaylee is ok, I think I would spell it that way as well.
I think I only know one little Kaylee who is two.

I've never minded the name to be honest. Had a friend when I was quite young who was named Casey (a girl). Other than her, I don't know that I've ever met another one. I don't mind it with a C or a K, but prefer the C spelling. I also don't find it dated.I would choose Casey if it were out of Casey and Kaylee. Casey will suit a woman, whereas I can't really imagine a grown woman named Kaylee. Never met a Kaylee.

I like Casey, but not Kasey. I know about one girl and one or two boys. There's a few others but I think at least two of them are KC...
Casey is a lot easier to say than Kaylee, so I'd probably go with that. Kaylee seems more feminine though.
Kaylie is probably my favorite spelling. I know some Kaylees and a Kailee.

I hate the name Casey/ Kasey for a boy or a girl, it's really bad IMO. I think I've known maybe 3 girl Caseys and one boy. But I really like Kailey/ Kayleigh, it's sweet but different, unlike Casey which I find drab and ugly (sorry but that's what I always think when I hear it). So, of course, I'd choose Kailey. I've only known one Kaylee I think, and I'm pretty sure she spelled it Kaylee. Sorry if that was kind of harsh, I was just trying to get my opinion across.

I prefer it on a boy but maybe I'm biased cos it's my male cousin's name, spelt Kasey.I prefer Kaylee over Casey/Kasey but I like Kayla even better.Kaylie.I know one Kasey, no Kaylees.I often have people pronouncing my name as Casey.

I used to like Casey when I was 11 (mostly for its sound), but it's NMS these days. I think I prefer it on a boy rather than a girl. For a boy, I prefer the spelling Casey, but there is something appealing about Kasey to me even though it's a variant. I knew one Kaci (female), who was the sister of a friend. If I had to choose between Casey or Kaylee, I think I would use Casey / Kasey, because there is more history with it. I'm not really a fan of any of the spellings of Kaylee. I met one Caleigh, who I went to school with.

I'd pick Casey. It's scrappier.PS - I was a little weirded out by seeing these two names together - I immediately thought of the Caylee Anthony case: the missing little girl whose mother, Casey, is accused of killing her. Creeeeepy!

Oh really? I know about the case but didn't think of them because both names are so common. If it would've been Caylee instead of Kaylee I know I would have thought of them, though. It's the spelling that does it.

If I had to choose between Kaylee and Casey, I'd choose Kaylee and imagine I was honoring the character in Firefly. To be honest, I really dislike both names.
