My first reaction was: huh? Hmm

How is it pronounced?

I've not come across it before, and don't take to it (looks like the name of a 1960s man-made fabric).

Is it a strange spelling of Caolan? or am I saying it completely wrong?

That's from star trek, isn't it?

yes, I thought it is. Click here

I probably wouldn't use it, tbh.

My first thought was it sounds like something you put in your dishwasher to remove the lime scale!

I know a little girl called Kaelin and a little boy called Kaelen.

Pronounced Kay-lin and Kay-lun.

When she was born Kaelin's mummy's MIL commented "Oh, like the medicine kaolin and morphine?"

I know a lovely little Caelan and variations on the name do seem to be becoming quite popular, but the Kaelon spelling just looks a bit made-up and awkward, sorry.

It depends on whether you are writing a Sci-Fi novel, or planning to name your child.

If the former, its fab. If the latter, can't say I would.

I thought Star trek.

Then I thought colon.

I don't like it.
