[Opinions] Thoughts on the name Cason for a girl?
Pronounced like Mason but with a C.

I like the name but it's not fitting for a girl IMO. I feel the same about Carson, Hunter, and Spencer, but not Jordan, Morgan or Cameron. I don't know why.

It's terrible even for a boy, let alone a girl.

It’s one of those names that’s bad enough for a boy but horrifying on a girl. Looks like a typo for Carson which is also ugly but very marginally better.

I don't like Mason as a fn either. Cason looks fake, like a suitcase company or a manufacturer of safes.

It does have a kind of normal middle-class vibe that I'd get used to like Carson or Cassidy. It's not feminine at all (rather seems to be desexed, deliberately avoiding seeming feminine) but neither is it masculine so it's alright. I could enjoy the sound of it more, with a more first-namey spelling like Casen or Kacen ... would seem more honest and friendly to me (middle class naming for a pleasing fashionable sound) than Cason (seems more aspiring for a "classy surname" name or name-drop).tl/dr Cason (f) is just okay, average, 4/10, not my style.
If she is named to honor a specific ancestor named Cason, whose life was well known to her parents - I would be much less resistant to the idea.Better than Carter, Carson, Mason, Cameron
Not quite as appealing as Casey, Cassidy, Caley, Camryn

The way the four names you said it’s better than are some of my favorite boy names. :(

Oh I should have qualified - better than those *for a girl.*

It sounds masculine and dated, there is no way I would imagine that on a girl.

Don't like it at all and it sounds masculine and sounds like casing the place

I don't like any name that has a first syllable that sounds like Case - that name category is very popular right now BTW, although that's not why I dislike it.

It does sound like a boy's name that could become unisex.
