Cute or too far fetched?

mrswelch14 · September 2015

Girl names are killing us! I have a list but we haven't fell in love with anything yet. We want something different but not something that will make people be secretly scratching their heads. I did come up with one from a brand of boots called Lucchese. It's spelt weird and I definitely don't want that!

So is LueCasey cute or too different?

Other names high on the list right now are:

Rowan
Blayne
Chandler
Emerson
Hadley
River
Sage
Teal

I would give LueCasey a definite no. It's really bad.

The only one I like from your list is Hadley. Sage is fine too, just nms.

gonetothesea · September 2015

Maybe Casey Lou? Not a fan of the "gender neutral" other names.

wassuphoes · September 2015

Ah, no. No no no.

River or Sage, if you must.

CharmBombExplosion · September 2015

Is LouCasey a serious option? I legit spit out some of my drink because I started laughing. The rest of your options are either masculine or trendy and awful, mostly awful.

MamaWren919 · September 2015

No really terrible. I like Rowan or Hadley the best from your list.

Jessie42613 · September 2015

Girl, someday this baby will need to be taken seriously in the work force. Don't set her up to fail.

ecwk · September 2015

Wow, LueCasey? That would be a terrible thing to do to your child.

lm45678 · September 2015

Emerson or Hadley.

What about Emory, Avery, Quinn, Blake, Casey, Erin?

libby+nate · September 2015

Emerson or Sage, although Emerson is masculine it's better than the others. I'm not going to comment about LueCasey

valeriemarie24 · September 2015

Are you trying to name a little girl? Cause the only one I would even remotely consider is Hadley, and I still don't even like that name.

OliveOyl2014 · September 2015

What about a brand of boots would make you want to name your daughter that? I wouldn't want to think of boots as where I got her name from.

kayway85 · September 2015

Hmmm... Why not Louisa, Louise, Lana? Loucasey is really awful.

The rest of your list sound like corporations, last names, or names of little boys.

I would start again and go back to basics. Maybe get a baby naming book and not rely on ideas you get online. Some of those baby naming sites are straight up awful.

I-)

such boring mud

crcosmetics · September 2015

No. Just no

ashleyandely · September 2015

:-@

Knottie1442268460 · September 2015

Haddie?

VitaLuna · September 2015

How about LouBou? An ode to Mr. Louboutin himself. Much better than LouCasey.

nlwz123 · September 2015

LueCasey? Nope, nope, nope.

ambercakes92 · September 2015

No to LueCasey. Why not just Casey? Otherwise Sage. The rest of those names are boy names.

lindsayTTC · September 2015

Don't do LouCasey. Sage is the only one on your list that would be ok. The others sound like boy names.

satuttle1014 · September 2015

I can't say much since people don't like my names but LouCasey? I would not put those together, do Lou for Louise or Casey but not together.

From your list:

Rowan -nms but would be fine

Blayne- nope
Chandler- nope; This just reminds me of Friends where Phoebe has her brother's triplets and they pick Chandler thinking it was a boy and turned out to be a girl and kept it.
Emerson- nms but my favorite from your list; call her Emery for a nn
Hadley-eh
River- seems more like a boys name to me so no for me on this one
Sage- I always thought it was cute but always hard to find a good flowing full name; possible mn?
Teal- would be a cool mn not first name

skc040512 · September 2015

Were you going for "Lucchese"? Because the only thing I thought of with LouCasey was the boots...I would definitely side eye this name, with either spelling.

Knottie23738778 · September 2015

I actually happen to like your list of names. I am a fan of unisex names. I however do think that LueCasey is a little out there... Chandler and Emerson are my favorites.
What about Paisley?

There is nothing unisex about a name that means "son of Emery"

Yeah, and I've never heard of a female Chandler.

Knottie23738778 · September 2015

I have a girl friend names Chandler.... And I have met 2 others.

Lucchese is not spelled "weird," it's an Italian name. They're an Italian boot maker. I would suggest that if you don't like the original spelling of a name with rich heritage, you don't try to bastardize it by combining two English names. LueCasey is terrible.

The rest of your name options don't really suit a little girl. Most of them are masculine names. River or Sage are totally not my style but they're the only decent ones you threw out there. I would keep searching if I were you.

Yours Truly,
Boot wearing Texan with an Italian family and appreciation for real Italian names

Please don't do LouCasey. Like a PP said, don't name your daughter after shoes. Also, LouCasey sounds like a stripper name. So now I'm thinking she is named after stripper boots, which is even worse.
The rest of your names are all boy names except Hadley and River. And even those can be given to boys but at least these seem more feminine. As an 'alt' mom of a boy, I find the use of alt boy names on girls really frustrating. I get the appeal of the whole trying to be unisex thing, but it bugs me that my boy may go thru school a year behind a girl with his name. (Sorry for the secondary rant on girls being given boy names)

Why not Louise, Casey, Cassie, Lacey are similar to LouCasey. Similar lettering - Lorraine, Lora, Lauren, Laurel (bonus it works as an alt name). For alt names, try Summer, Autumn, Coral, Dawn, Hazel, Opal, Sierra are some of my favs.

Bottom line, I'm not a fan of your list for a girl, but anything on the list is better than LouCasey.

VitaLuna · September 2015

I'd like too offer a couple more suggestions to your list:

LouBou (as I mentioned above)
Nikea (ny-kee-a)
Guccia
Vuittonia (NN Tonia/Tonya)
Manola or Blahni (NN Lahni)

See where we're getting here ..? If I had to choose from your list, I'd vote Hadley.

klirwin82 · September 2015

Sage. That's the only halfway acceptable one. Maybe River. For girl nature names, personally I like Cypress, Birch or Aspen.

LouCasey is a no. I hate anything Lou- or -Lou or Mae or Rae or Jo at that. Too country.

HEHE ^^^^

Out of your choices, I like Sage.

No, LouCasey is not cute. Even if it was, you're making a human who will one day apply for colleges and jobs.

Rowan- I don't think it sounds good for a female. Way to masculine for my taste.
Blayne- is also masculine. Misspelling it with a Y instead of an I does not make it feminine or cute for a girl.
Chandler- also masculine.
Emerson- means "son of emery". Doesn't work well with a daughter.
Hadley- the most normal out of your names and also more feminine.
River-masculine, which the majority of your names seem to be. Did you want a boy? Because I'm sensing a trend here.
Sage
Teal
Sage and Teal are more feminine names. They are NMS, but these two and Hadley are the better names on the list.

ElRuby · October 2015

I can't tell if these are for boys or girls? And Teal ....really?

desertheart · October 2015

I, too, thought of the boot company when I saw it.

How about Louise Casey? Then, you could call her that as a family nickname. And if she didn't like Louise, she could go by Casey.

I have some of these boots and I love them. But then, I'm also a boot wearing Texan from an Italian family!

OP go with Sage or maybe River (even though is usually a masculine name, it reminds me of Firefly so I can forgive it on a girl)

Lol! My first thought was either River Tam or River Song!

ChiccoBeanz · October 2015

I saw someone suggest getting a baby name book and starting over. I agree with that suggestion. All of these names, to ME, are a no. I think you can select something better. Good luck.

little_bren · October 2015

BIG no to LueCasey. I like Emerson the most out of your list.

If you're totally set on some form of LouCasey I think this would be the best way to do it. Give her real, stand alone names, and then call her Lou Casey as a nickname (if you must). She will at least have other alternatives to go by if she doesn't care for her nickname as she gets older.
