So for baby no 1 we considered Caleb, however we had a beautiful girl instead. Was considering Caleb again for baby number 2 but saw a post the other day where someone referred to it as a 'chavvy' name 'like Kayden and Jayden' (their words not mine) do people agree with this comment?! I see it as a biblical name (and the singer from Kings of Leon,actually)
Other contender is Rafferty. Middle name will be James.

Caleb James is lovely !

Rafferty is horrible (sorry!) Caleb is much better.

Caleb sounds very biblical. Makes me think of 7 brides for 7 brothers Smile

Yes I did ask, that is the whole purpose of this thread🤔

Thanks ladies, it's officially off the table, genuinely never occurred to me as the only Caleb I have ever met came from a very middle class family! Glad I asked the question.

Rafferty James it is.

Rafferry is really commen here. South east.
Kaleb isn't chavvy here yet

Yes. Its the epitome of chavvy.
Sorry, but you did ask

NoCapes · 11/08/2017 21:25

In essence it's not, it's a biblical name
However - it is very popular with a lot of chavs and it is becoming lumped in with the kayden/kaylen/kaben etc names
So I would probably avoid

Rafferty is MUCH better.

horsesforcorses · 11/08/2017 21:23

I don't think it is with a C.

greendale17 · 11/08/2017 21:23

Yep it is chavvy
