what do you think of this boy name

posted 7th Feb '08
Ok so DH and i have been talking about the next baby already - crazy i know. I came accross a boys name i like and it kinda fits the whole "C" name thing we seem to be doing. The name is Callin. What do you ladies think? Do you think i should spell it that way or some other way. thanks

Thats a nice name. Callin and Caleb are two of my favorites.

I love that name but I'm a bit partial to the name spelled like Colin, just because Callin looks like the "slang" version of calling... If that makes sense.

Hi Congrats! Here in Australia, Callin is not common at all, I like it though, its a bit different without being too out-there.
Callum is a version I have heard a few times and Caleb is becoming very popular over here.

I like the way you haev spelt it.
Being a primary school teacher, spellings vary alot even with simple names, here are a few to consider -
Callin
Callen
Callan
Callun
Callyn
Callon
Calyn
CalanCalin
Cahlin
Cahlyn
Caylin
Caylin..

Keep in mind when he is fillinf out forms or on the phone, having to spell out how to spell his name when he is older might become an issue for him if it spelt in a funky way eg. Cahlyn
Depends if you are pronouncing
"Call"in as in ball or tall. or
"Ca"llin as in day or
"Ca"llin as in Car.....

Hope it helps...
Good luck.

Quoting Whit:“ I love that name but I'm a bit partial to the name spelled like Colin, just because Callin looks like the "slang" version of calling... If that makes sense.”

I was thinking that it looked too much like Callie.....which I thought was wimpy....so, I didnt like it. But now that I see it is pronounced like "Collin"....I like that name.

I wouldnt spell it Callin tho
