I think I'm leaning towards the traditional 1 L. I love the name and already love hearing LO1 say it when we talk about baby brother. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2082055 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 15:46:41 +0000 lilyann 2082055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colin! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081267 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 08:09:44 +0000 Synchronicity 2081267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the name! I definitely prefer Colin; I've never seen someone spell it with 2 l's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081255 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 07:49:08 +0000 yellowbird 2081255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Phillybaby2013: this name is on our list and I really prefer the one l spelling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081194 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 01:18:22 +0000 lemondrop 2081194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name with one L- my first was almost a Colin, it was one of our top 3! My newest nephew is a Colin and he is the happiest baby I've ever met, so it has a very positive association in my mind! </p> <p>@NovBaby1112: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081161 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 23:02:55 +0000 IcebergMom 2081161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One L! I agree two Ls is a last name. My DH is Colin and it drives him crazy when people ask if it is two Ls. I Also appreciate sticking with common spellings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081156 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:47:54 +0000 photojane 2081156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One L! I love it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081153 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:40:36 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 2081153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spelled it with one L for our colin. I just didn't think the extra L served any purpose. We do occasionally have ppl misspell it with two L's but what are you gonna do... Most famous Colins spell with one L and the social security list is far more popular with one l than 2, which led us to pick the "correct" single L spelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081151 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:39:54 +0000 spaniellove 2081151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a first name I've only seen it spelled Colin! And the pronunciation sounds nothing like colon to me, maybe it's a regional thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081145 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:34:48 +0000 erinpye 2081145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One L, love the name! (FWIW I've never associated it with colon, or heard it mispronounced as such.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081140 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:25:15 +0000 MrsSCB 2081140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the name! I've only ever seen it spelled with one 'L' so that would be my preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081133 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:14:26 +0000 NavyRN2012 2081133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know one of each- and think they're both adorable. But I prefer Colin. I'm a big fan of traditional spellings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2081132 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:14:10 +0000 lawbee11 2081132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One L!

I don't see how saying "Reminds me of colon" is helpful. It's a pretty traditional Irish name and I hear it a lot where I live, not once has it been pronounced like Colon. </p> <p>I prefer the one L! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080965 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 19:30:41 +0000 littlejoy 2080965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: I thought the same thing (made me think of colon). I actually like both spellings, but have only ever met "Collin"s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080889 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 17:45:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2080889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I know what you what mean...Collins</p> <p>Voted for 1 L </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080855 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 17:00:11 +0000 californiadreams 2080855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>colin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080854 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:59:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2080854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One L! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080845 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:51:03 +0000 coopsmama 2080845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The name, truthfully, is not my favorite but if I had to choose I'd pick one L. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080843 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:49:39 +0000 mrscobee 2080843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think of Colon every time I see this name sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/collin-or-colin#post-2080834 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:36:17 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2080834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of Colin being pronounced "colon" - what a bummer!
