Kacey is a phonetic respelling of Casey, itself an anglicization of the Irish surname Ó Cathasaigh, descendant of the watchful one. That heritage gets lighter in the K-spelling, which has a bit more country twang and a little less Dublin mist. Kacey Musgraves, with her sequins and her pedal steel, made it a name of neon honky-tonks and arena balladry. At 1093 and unisex, it's two quick syllables with a long ee ending, friendly and casual. A name with a pickup truck and a Polaroid camera, Kacey leans on the porch rail and grins.
