Re: pet name or informal name

Casey? Are you sure? The version I know is Kees, which is pronounced more or less like Case. The y at the end of Casey is most certainly not Dutch.

I agree with Kees. Also Cor or (I believe) Co. There is a soccer coach named 'Co Adriaanse.' I always assumed it was short for Cornelius. I also know an American of Dutch heritage named Cornelius who is called Corky.
