Any thoughts? I am trying to come up with shortlists.
Is it too common/popular? Do you immediately think of Callum Best when you hear it?
You can be brutally honest i need the good and the bad.

curlew I don't mind at all. At this stage I am just compiling list of maybe's so not attached to any of the names. Also as i am french i do not get the connotations of certain names (which ones are posh, which one are "not so posh" IYSWIM). Which is why I appreciate the input as in real life people will just be polite and say "oh that's lovely".

I don't normally say this because I don't think it matters but it is lincredibly common here in SE England. And it tends (sorry- don't shoot the messenger!) to be, along with Connor, a bit of a "naughty boy" name.

I haven't come across many Callums in Ireland. I like it a lot & would have considered it myself but it wouldn't go with our surname.

Know a few Callum / Calum's of various ages in Scotland it's fairly popular here, recently met a few baby Callan's as well. Get the impression it's not such a well liked name south of the border though....

Not to my taste, but that's no reason not to go with it. I'd say it's a Scottish name (or poss variant of the Irish Colm) so wouldn't use it unless of that background personally.

I like it and Calum best spells his name with one L!

I've taught a couple of lovely Callums.
