I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with our baby boy. I have realised that picking boys names is much tricker than picking girls names. One name that we quite like is Calvin. What is your opinion on it?

Obviously name will be a surprise to friends and family so keen to get some other opinions.

We want something different but not super unusual.

I like it

I really like it. I know a Calvin in his early twenties. It suits him

I really like it! Seems fresh without being trendy

As long as your surname isn't Hobbes or Klein.

I'm a massive fan of the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon strips. I love it!

I have a family member with the names and he's nearly 40. I hear it now and still think it's fresh and nice. Love it!
