Caleb or Kaleb?

[Tifsy]

Hiya,

Which is the nicest spelling, Caleb or Kaleb?

Thoughts on the name also please? x

Caleb
Kaleb looks like you can't spell.
It's ok, if you like it, use it.

Caleb. Kaleb not as nice and has a whiff of reality tv about it. Great name though

Do you know many also please? x

Caleb is nicer. Lovely name x

And only know of 1 quite uncommon I think

Caleb, i know one in each age group so an adult, a teen, a primary agr and a toddlerbut none in the same school year

Caleb. For the most part, K names are ugly, with a few exceptions like Katherine and Kate.

OP, you could always spell it K-leb.

Look up the name origin and meaning, some famous people or fictional characters with the name.

I think Caleb is the traditional spelling, that's the one I prefer, it just looks better somehow.

Neither. Really don't like the name.

Caleb.

I know one, he's great. (I have to say that, as his mum)

I know a few others too, younger than mine. It's a cool name.

Caleb.
Kaleb just looks wrong somehow to me.

Caleb, definitely. Otherwise people will think you can’t spell, and you’ll also be ruining a perfectly good name.

It looks wrong because it is wrong.

Caleb xx great name

Caleb, I know of one. It always sounds odd to me I think because of the eb ending bit its nice enough

Thanks everyone, with a C it is! x

I know of couple (friends nephews type of “know”) but none personally. I think it was maybe more popular 10 years ago or so.

There was/is a rock star who uses the name as his first name (I think it isn't his real first name and that it was someone like Kings of Leon or that era) and that boosted it's popularity.
I like the name and had planned to use it, or Calb, for a DDog, but some have grouped if with the Kayden type names and it is seen as slightly downmarket.

Love Caleb and would be on my list. I don’t know any in RL and work with children, never come across one!

Good decision @Tifsy

Caleb is definitely better

Caleb

Is it actually seen as "downmarket" as Mikeuniformmike says? It's currently rank 50 in the name charts, seems quite far out for it to be seen like that? This is my first, so i don't know much about names x

Kebab

Would always have to pause before saying the name to mentally reset from Kebab to Caleb. Once thought it's hard to unthink

No I don’t believe it’s ‘downmarket’ - it’s a biblical name.
