Are you trying to spell Case (as in brief case) or Cass (as in rhymes with gas)?

HappyMrsK

Like a nn for Casey?

How would you pronounce this name?

brideofscowboy

I think it would get mistaken a lot for Casey...no matter how you spell it.

cheetah*run

I am not understanding the name you are wanting to spell.

Case- I read as the pp said: brief case

Cass-I also read as a ryhme to gas

 

jillianfries

Kase.

FI knows a girl named Kasie and she goes by Kase. I think she even posts on here so she might see this.

Huh... I type Case into the top but I guess it didn't show up.  It is case like brief case, not cass like gas.  It is for a boy too... should have mentioned that, lol!

It's there--I don't think anyone read the text above the poll: )

I think you really only have two options to spell this phonetically: Kase or Case. I voted for the former, only because case is an actual word. You cannot spell it with an "ss" ending--phonetically, that ending is pronounced "a$$" so, not the sound you're going for.

ETA: Sorry, three spellings: Kace works, too.

'You cannot spell it with an "ss" ending--phonetically, that ending is pronounced "a$$" so, not the sound you're going for.'

I completely agree with you!  It's odd though because of the word "bass".  It can be said either way: bass as in the fish or bass as in the bass clarinet.  BUT... people would assume that Cass or Kass was said with a short a sound.   I don't want my kid called Cass the a$$!

well, if it HAD to be four letters then my vote would be Case, or Kase because that looks the closest tho a lot of ppl will still say Casey because ppl are doing that now with names that have a Y sound at the end, just ended it with E like Jesse, and Alle i have seen it often. if four letters isn't a thing tho i personally would go for

Caese

Kaese

Cayse

Cayce

Cays or something like that.

JesseKhloe&Me

I voted Kase. But Case is good too. Just decide if you like the C or K more. Very cute name.

It is a possible nickname for Caswell which is said Cazwell.  It was my grandfather's name.  I think it would need to start with a C but I was wondering what other people though.  I never thought of using 5 letters, but it is a good idea   Thanks!

Lace815

I voted for Case!

 

BTW -- My name is Laci and my husband's name is Seth so jaciandseth made me look twice! Just thought that was funny

Stimpy09

NMS, but I picked Cace, just because it's similar to Case and I think it would be pronounced correctly. The options with a K make me think of the Kardashians, and I think it sounds a little girly.

braveangel2

Wow, so much cre8ivity with four little letters. I would go with the spelling you have in the subject line. Case.

SaucySarie

I spell my DS's Case (Cay-s)

Spookster

CASE- this name is gonna get people confused if you try to "dress it up" its a simple name I think you should let it be.

My names Kassie if you spell it Kass/Cass people will probably think your DS is a DD, using Kass/Cass short for Cassandra/Kassandraor Kassie/Cassie.

I say keep it simple and spell it the way it sounds which to me is CASE.

Case is perfectly fine.  No need to completly f the name up by getting cre8tive like the above poster suggests.  Horrible!
