K or C?

My top boys' name at the moment can be spelt in several ways but it's the initial letter that I'm particularly interested in atm...

So, would you go for:

Caleb

or

Kaleb


??

Thanks for all the speedy replies!

My preference is for a 'C' (by a long chalk), however, it just occurred to me that if we used a 'K' (not likely tbh!) and then had a middle name beginning with an 'O' then, given our surname begins with an 'L', then ds's initials would be KOL = Kings of Leon Grin Grin and a nice circular reference to the name Caleb!!!

What's the traditional spelling? C I imagine. I'd always do traditional.

KOL you should try asking this question on other forums. I'd put money on Bouty say K or even Kalib, just to be uuuuniqquee.

Well it is unanimous! Not one vote for 'K'!!

I do prefer 'C' and I agree, 'K' looks a little more unusual shall we say.

Agree with everyone else, C for definite. I've never seen it spelt with K before, nor do I want to again.
