Callum or Liam

[Violet5]

I know a lot of people will say neither, but if anyone has a preference i'd be interested.
I'm 36 weeks and we had decided on Callum (baby is def a boy) but i keep hearing it around and think i've gone of it a bit. Only other name i really like is Liam. My husband says Callum is his first choice but that he doesn't mind the name Liam.
I know they're not in keeping with the present name trend of Arthur, Seth George etc but we already have 2 boys and their names are Kyle and Owen.
Anyway any votes/thoughts apprecaited, thanks

Prefer Liam. Really don't like Callum for some reason.

I like both. A lot.

I like Liam....I know a little boy called Callum and he gets called Callie.

Liam would go better with your son's names

I love Liam with William as long version.

Liam is much nicer imo.

Thanks everyone, i'm definately swaying towards Liam.

They're not my cup of tea, but I much prefer Liam to Callum.

I once heard a comic (can't think who) say that certain names land with a thud, and that's how I think Callum sounds out loud. Might just be the accents round here though!

Liam. But I am biased

I like both - a lot - but then I've got no klarse and apparently both are "naff"! But then I don't like the Seth/Arthur/Piggingdon/St. John stuff.

Liam for me.

Piggingdon ??

Callum.

Callum. But i am biased

I would object hightly if anyone called my Callum Callie!!!

I like both, Liam was on my list if dd had been a boy but dh vetoed it because of Liam Gallagher!

I think Liam sounds better with your other children's names.

They are both great names. Wait till he is born and see what suits him.

Callum much nicer. Really, really don't like Liam

Liam for me :) how bout Colm as an alternative to Callum?

Both nice, but I love Liam.

There seems to be consensus on MN that it is 'common', but to me, it's just a lovely, classic Irish name.

Thanks for all the replies, and at least not everyone dislikes the names

Calum, but spelt with the single L.

I like both names but wouldn't choose either personally as I have taught loads over the past few years (and many have been pita, particularly the Liams!)

I don't like either particularly but Liam goes much better with your other children's names.

I have a Callum (and admit that I sometimes call him Callybumbum...only indoors though)

My nephews name is Liam. I love it
