Hiya,

Which is the nicest spelling, Caleb or Kaleb?

Caleb

I know 2, age 10 and 5, and a Kaleb, age 11.

Caleb. I think its lovely, biblical, but modern sounding, known but not over used.

YgritteSnow · 13/03/2020 21:39

Neither unless you're naming a future evangelical preacher from the Deep South.

@YgritteSnow That's like saying no religious names should be used unless you are naming a preacher 😂

Caleb. Unless your surname is Kardashian.

lamppostdog · 13/03/2020 22:30

It was my granddad's name and is my sons middle name

Caleb. Love it, great solid name- not unusual but not overused.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 13/03/2020 22:34

I love it. Caleb.

No it isn't. That's not what I am saying at all.

I love Caleb
Love the sound of the name and that it’s got a lot of history behind it. Haven’t met anyone with the name

Bezalelle · 14/03/2020 08:32

Caleb, if you must. The "leb" part is really ugly though. Not a pleasant-sounding name.

KittyJune · 14/03/2020 15:38

It’s Caleb

KatherineJaneway · 14/03/2020 15:47

Caleb with a C not a K.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/03/2020 15:49

Caleb is a lovely name. Please use this the correct spelling, though. 'Kaleb' is probably a Kardashian.

happymummy12345 · 14/03/2020 15:50

I know one, spelt with a K. I'm not keen on the name though
