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

Kaleb

Caleb.

Definitely.

Made up spellings are chavvy.

Caleb

Sometimes things aren't alternatives, they are mistakes. Kaleb is an example of this.

AllieW · 02/02/2011 09:44

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

systemsaddict · 02/02/2011 07:26

C! definitely!

flower38 · 02/02/2011 07:21

Caleb

gillybean2 · 02/02/2011 07:19

Definitey with a C

Panzee · 02/02/2011 07:11

Now you've given the reason, I say C. :o

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.

Caleb

Caleb

JiltedJohnsJulie · 01/02/2011 22:14

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.

WishIWasRimaHorton · 01/02/2011 22:12

C C C C C - all the way.

medoitmama · 01/02/2011 22:10

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

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 and a nice circular reference to the name Caleb!!!

Littlefish · 01/02/2011 21:53

Definitely Caleb. Absolutely definitely not Kaleb.

kalo12 · 01/02/2011 21:51

caleb is posher

Tortoise · 01/02/2011 21:51

C looks nicer
