Names that end in y

The main diplomat character of Ursula K. Le Guin's 1969 novel The Left Hand of Darkness has an unexpectedly modern-sounding name. Le Guin pronounced it with a hard G, but she thought "the reader has the right to pronounce a made-up name or word just the way she or he wants to."

This alternative spelling of Chastity peaked all the way up at #253 in 1976, and hung on in the US Top 1000 until 2008. Both have now fallen out of favor.

To modernize and add some oomph to the dated CASEY, add an O'-and also honor the great Irish playwright Sean.
