Kellen was our top boy name and it's very similar to that as well.

It reminds me of Gollum from Lord of the Rings, so I pronounced it like that, but with a C.

It's a meh for me, to be honest.

And I SUPER love the nn Cal:) Sounds like a cute baseball player :silly: Mommy Finger on "For fun: What do you think of this boy name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-what-do-you-think-of-this-boy-name#post-2024526 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:42:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 2024526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're thinking of using Callen or Callan. So it's similar. :) Kemma on "For fun: What do you think of this boy name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-what-do-you-think-of-this-boy-name#post-2024517 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:41:19 +0000 Kemma 2024517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Love it and very popular in New Zealand! twodoghouse on "For fun: What do you think of this boy name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-what-do-you-think-of-this-boy-name#post-2024489 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 21:32:20 +0000 twodoghouse 2024489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like it and love the nickname Cal!

Call (like phone call) - lumm This way is Cal (rhymes with Sal) - lumm Mrs. Coral on "For fun: What do you think of this boy name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-what-do-you-think-of-this-boy-name#post-2024247 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2024247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love it! Are you okay with him being called 'Cal' at some point in life though? I know some Calvins whose name was inevitably shortened. Either way, I think it's great! avivoca on "For fun: What do you think of this boy name?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-fun-what-do-you-think-of-this-boy-name#post-2024245 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:06:35 +0000 avivoca 2024245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like it!

We're TTC #2 and we had a hard time coming up with T's name. It was the only one that fit our criteria (unusual, not top 100, easy to spell, easy to pronounce when reading, fitting for an adult male when he grows up). I'm getting a head start in case we have another boy and I've already found one that meets our criteria. T's name isn't even on the charts and Callum is #976 in USA so it's perfect. It's also of Scottish origin and DH's family has Scottish roots. DH's not 100% sold because he says he thinks of the word "callus". Lol What do you all think? I'm only getting way ahead of myself.
