I like them, individually of course! I prefer the spelling of Kacie or Kacey to Casey, and see it as more feminine. I think that Anthony is a handsome, charming name on a man; I totally get past popularity!

I like Anthony and Antony, but not Tony. Perhaps because my Antoinette friend is known as Toni! Anton, stress on first syllable, is my preferred nn. Another friend's brother is Ian Antony; their mother insisted on that spelling in case Anthony might be pronounced with a -th- instead of a -t-; nobody knew why this would be likely with a mn, but she was determined!

I've never met a Casey, it seems solidly American to me. Like pronouncing the -th- in Anthony? It seems lacking in character somehow.

I like both, but prefer Anthony more as it's stronger and more timeless. It's also the name of my nephew, but I'm sure I would still choose it over Casey even if that wasn't the case.
I still enjoy Casey, but I wouldn't use it either. If I did however, it would be for a boy.

Anthony, or even Antony, is a yes. Casey is a big no as a first name.

I have a soft spot for Casey and I have no idea why. I think of toddlers in striped overalls, and cream-coloured teddy bears. It's an odd thing. Not sure I'd ever use it, but I don't hate it.

I hate Anthony.

Yuck. Both names evoke spoiled jock brats from my suburban hometown.

Casey is ok, but I love Anthony

Anthony has always sounded whiny to me.

Casey is ok. I don’t like it much for a girl.

I actually like both. But I wouldn't use the two together.

I enjoy both of these names! I think Casey is a good name for both boys and girls, and I think Anthony has a nice sound.
