Two new names quickly making their way to the top of my list (both for boys): Casey and Lee. I really like them both, I feel like they're not unexpected and definitely not overused. I tend to like more unisex names on boys so they fit in well with some of my other favorites (Morgan, Sage). I never see them mentioned here. What do you think?

haha you don't have to apologize, its an opinion! any particular reason you don't like them?

well, lee just bothers me because its so short (then again, max was my number one boys name for AGES until i met the boy and he already has a nephew named max, so that kind of makes no sense) i dont know, it just rubs me the wrong way. its just one of those irritating names, to me. a friend of mine recently had a (second) son and lee was on his list. i had to talk him out of it. they wound up naming him brady, which is much better, imo. plus, there is a town in our county called lee, and theres nothing wrong with it, i just wouldnt use it. i just think its so ugly, sorry! haha, i have no better explanation.

morgan just doesnt appeal to me, but i am not a fan AT ALL of the more modern unisex names... taylor, jordan, etc etc!

sage is, to me, one of those names like river and rain. trying too hard, you know? i think its fine for a middle.

XD Casey was the first boy I ever had a really intense crush on when I was in 5th grade, so I will always think of him! Lee, not a big fan of. It's my grandmother's middle name (she changed it to Lee from Hildegarde, so I don't blame her there) and was my high school science teacher's first name, but I just never really liked it. Casey I like though. I also like Morgan (though more for a girl) and Sage is ok. I love the plant ^^;

I like Lee a lot.

Casey for a boy? Always saw it as a girl's name myself. I like Lee though, it's really nice, and Morgan is okay, but cannae stand Sage.

I love Casey as a unisex name.

I have known a male Casey for years and his name just fits him so well, so for me it will always be unisex. I'm not a fan of Lee and Morgan on boys and don't like Sage.

Love Morgan for a boy and Casey is nice, too. Sage isn't my style, but I also really like Lee.

My friend's older brother is named Lee, short for Leland.

I LOVE Casey. I like Morgan and Sage a lot too. I'm indifferent to Lee.

I really love Casey for a boy; for the Celtic vibe, and Casey Affleck is good association.
It would still be on my list, but ended up using it for my rabbit (Casey Jack).

Lee isn't my thing; it was pretty popular when I was young and I went to school with a few. So it feels a bit dated, and the associations aren't always good.

Love Morgan for a boy too. Sage is completely unisex to me, and I just all round love it.

I really hate the name Lee, but Casey is nice. I like Casey on either gender.

I love, love Sage. It's my second favorite boys name. Morgan isn't too bad. I don't like Casey, and I think Lee is about as boring as it can get.

LOL i have a friend named Casey Lee. =]

Morgan's my top boy's name, and Casey's in my top ten - I hate them on girls, especially Casey because I've quite an attachment to it as a boy's name.

I'm not a fan of Sage or Lee at all.

They're not my favorites, but I do like them both.
