I really like this name for our LO. Is the name of one of the Kings of Leon. DH has said no Sad.

We love the name but DH's cousin used it first. Really nice, go for it!

Caleb is a great name. It is Hebrew - in the book of Exodus, Caleb is one of the Israelites wandering in the desert with Moses and he was noted for his great faith in God, along with Joshua.

I really loved the name when I first heard it on American Gothic, still like it now although I wouldn't use it.

I like it a lot. Wasn't Caleb a little boy on that show?

Here in America I know several and it's always pronounced Kay-leb/lib/lub, depending on where you're from. Most use Cal as a nn but I know one who's called Cabs or Cabbie. (He's a great guy, so now I think of Cabbie as a fabulous nn! :) )

My son is called Caleb and I love it, so glad I chose, however starting to become more and more populat - my son is nearly 4.

I think Caleb is a gorgeous name. I also like quite a few of the more unusual Biblical names, such as Malachi but I don't think I'd be adventurous enough for that one! Caleb is lovely though, unusual but not too off the wall IYSWIM.
