Personal experiences with the name Casey

My name is Casey and I love my name. It is rarely heard, yet well known. I never liked being call Cassie. It drove me crazy but I wouldn't swap my name for anything. I am lucky in that way. :)

Casey has always sounded to me like a little sister's name: cute and sweet. When I used to write short stories, my main character's little sister was always named Casey. Then I met my best friend when I was 19 and she was 16... her name was Casey (and, yes, she's cute and *usually* sweet).

My name is Casey but spelled "Kacee," and I love my name! Never got teased for it, only for the unique way it is spelled, but most people find it interesting! I love it!
