Thanks Orange, yeah, it does matter to me a wee bit. I like Keagan too as it's something like 2000 on the list of baby names this year.

I like Caleb but then I'm biased too Wink. It was at no. 86 on the new list if it matters to you, so not to popular but not to out there either.

haha exit, when I see the word Celeb I often think of the name Caleb.

I only like Keagan and Caleb. Keagan was slightly winning for me as it's more unique. Caleb is getting quite popular but not too popular which is nice. Jacob is number 7 in the UK of most popular baby names.

Oh Kevin is cool. It reminds me of the kid from Home Alone. Grin

Its due a revival and would go beautifully with Kade.

AlwaysHoldingOnToStars · 19/08/2012 22:31

Not keen on Keagan, it makes me think of Kevin.

I'm biased as I have a Caleb, so obviously I think it's a great name!

Hate Keegan. Love Caleb. Keegan isn't a name, it's a surname.

sweetkitty · 19/08/2012 22:24

I'm not a fan of siblings having the same initial name or similar sounding names, just me, I know a family of 5 boys all with J names.

My four all have different initials and very different names. Also don't like same initial Forename and Surname and prefer different syllables as well so short first name long surname etc

Can you tell how long it took to name my DC I'm so fussy.

ErikNorseman · 19/08/2012 21:03

Not keagan. Yuk.

iknowwho · 19/08/2012 19:30

Thanks cake
I thought it was Cal-eb

Splishysploshy · 19/08/2012 19:24

I like Caleb.

PorkyandBess · 19/08/2012 19:23

Kade and Keagan together is just awful, reminds me of a US teen comedy with a similar name.

Caleb's OK but not with Kade.

FreelanceMama · 19/08/2012 19:23

of the two...Caleb. If you like Keagan why not Kevin? (or Alan!)

cakeismysaviour · 19/08/2012 19:22

I say it as Kay-Leb

iknowwho · 19/08/2012 19:20

How do you say Caleb?

Obviously I don' know any!! Grin

cakeismysaviour · 19/08/2012 19:19

Really don't like Keagan. Its on my list of names I just hate for no particular reason.

Caleb is a lovely name, but wouldn't use with Kade.

If you are interested in suggestions, I think Kieron, Kian or Callum would go nicely with DS1's name.

getthecakeready · 19/08/2012 19:17

Caleb does go with Kade... not too close in my opinion at all. I like it.

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 19/08/2012 19:12

I like caleb

NettOlympicSuperstar · 19/08/2012 19:10

Um, Caleb too close to Kade, and Keagan awful.

xmasevebundle · 19/08/2012 19:07

Keagan and kel? Was it even called that.

I do love the name Caleb, Kings of leon frontman is called that. Hes HOT okay...

usualsuspect · 19/08/2012 16:53

I like them both [no help]

SPsFanjoSponsorsTheOlympics · 19/08/2012 16:51

I like Caleb but my sons name is similar I like Kade

Bunbaker · 19/08/2012 16:50

Exit! Grin

ExitPursuedByAGoldenBear · 19/08/2012 16:45

How about Celeb instead?

BorisJohnsonsHair · 19/08/2012 16:43

Don't like either of them; Keagan being particularly awful. Although I don't like Kade either, so you can probably discount my opinion althogether Grin.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 19/08/2012 16:40

Love caleb but too close to Kade :) ( kade is a lovely name by the way :) )
