Pen Name Revisited

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

So it was suggested to me to use my real first name (Casey) as the surname, and for the stories I'm writing, it would fit to have a fairly populer but very feminine first name to go along side it. So please tell me what you think of these:

Cate Casey
Elizabeth Casey
Estella Casey
Evelyn Casey
Cadence Casey
Lucy Casey
Madeline Casey
Zoe Casey

or, randomly,

Cate Cassidee/Cassidy

i don't like cate or cadence with casey because of the double "kay" sound. i think elizabeth, evelyn, and madeline sound the best with casey.

i like how cassidy sounds with cate though.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Yeah I have trouble with the "Kay" sound doubled, too, but "Cate" is my favorite out of those, which is why I tried to pair it with a different "C" name which isn't...*too*(?) far off of Casey.

Thanks for your input :)

Agreed. Kind of reminds me of Casey Casem (sp?) that does the Top 40 or whatever on a few different radio stations.

Kind of reminds me of Casey Casem

Good thing or bad thing?

[sballik.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily good or bad, it's just sort of... repetitive, that's all.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i quite like evelyn casey!

i do like cate cassidy too.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Evelyn Casey is my 2nd favorite ("Cate" is my favorite even if it doesn't go with Casey)!

Cate Cassidy sounds...fitting for me, too though.

Thanks! :)

[arbus.livejournal.com]

cate is my favorite first name too, but i just dont like it with casey. :)

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. I thought that it was for my distaste for my own first name. I think it's more than that tho.

Elizabeth Casey sounds really nice and classy. Definitely my favorite of the bunch.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

"Elizabeth" has always been one of my favorite names, and it doesn't sound too bad with my 'real' name.

Thanks! :)

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll write that one down too.

[yourcrowbar.livejournal.com]

omg, i wrote a story once in which one the main character's mom was named Evelyn Casey. haha. i'm not even kidding. the main character was named Christina Casey.

anyway, i like Evelyn Casey (of course), as well as Estella & Madeline! i think they go best with Casey.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks for your input! :)

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I like:

Elizabeth Casey
Estella Casey
Evelyn Casey
Madeline Casey

With the others, I don't like the repeated "Cay" sound or the repeated "Ee" at the end.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Yeah I agree about the sounds, like with Cate Casey or Lucy Casey. But Lucy and Cate are two of my favorite names so I'm having a hard time letting them go.

Thanks for your input :)

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I like Evelyn Casey or Madeline Casey best.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Evelyn Casey is really climbing up the ladder, eh? LOL

Thanks!

[in-the-starlite.livejournal.com]

I really like Evelyn Casey.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Ok, great. Thanks :)

[leaveitalone.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth, Madeline, Evelyn, and Zoe all sound good with Casey to me.

Cassidy seems to be a way too common name in books, I wouldn't use it.

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Cassidy is too common as a first or last name?

[leaveitalone.livejournal.com]

both. Mainly as a last name though, but I have seen it quite a bit as first names too.

[ironqueen.livejournal.com]

My favorite is Estella Casey, closely followed by Evelyn Casey. Good luck. :)

[indicinderelly.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[istytehcrawk.livejournal.com]

I like Elizabeth, Madeline, and Evelyn with Casey.

[satunian.livejournal.com]

I love Madeline Casey. I already like Madeline, and I think it flows best with Casey. I also like Elizabeth Casey.

Kate Cassidy's is a restaurant around the block from where I live.

[cathblue7.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth Casey or Madeline Casey!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I think Madeline Casey sounds best!

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

This reminds me of the character Libbets Casey from The Ice Storm.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Evelyn stuck out for me :)

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

I really like Madeline Casey!
I love the name Elisabeth but it doesn't go that well with Casey IMO.

[nandy-pandy.livejournal.com]

I'd be the type to assume Cate Casey was supposed to be short for Catherine Catherine... which, for a fictional character, would be really sweet!
