What do people think of this name?

I really like it but I wondered if people thought it was going to become hugely popular or not? It's not really a problem if it does though! I just wondered if people knew any Caleb's? I notice it's jumped from being 104th most popular in 2009 to 87th in 2010 which is a big jump.

I did post a while back about the name Roscoe. I think people might think this is a slight improvement :)

The name is coloured for me be because it was the name of a child whose family I couldn't stand, but in itself, I love it. I teach a Jabez, which to me is along the same line.

I love it - can't persuade DH sadly. It's Caleb Garth in Middlemarch for me...

Love the name and always have,reminds me of the wonderful James Dean in East of Eden. He was called Cal,for short.

I like it & it is on my shortlist for my baby due in the summer. Not sure if people would assume he is being named after Caleb from the Kings of Leon though! DH not keen for that reason :(

I hate it, very very bible belt American.

A million times better than Roscoe.

Mmm, Caleb from Kings of Leon... Hot...

I love it!

I don't know why, but it makes me think of someone dark and sinister. Maybe I've seen or read something with a character of that name. For that reason, I'm not keen... sorry.
