Have you ever heard of this name being used for a boy?

My friend says it's well-known as a name because of the saint, but I wonder if this is only in Catholic communities? (She's from the USA so also wondering if it might just be known in America).

Pronounced similarly to Colby, although slightly different.

I'm really happy to see some positive comments about the name! Thank you!

It reminds me of the word for dog in some Semitic languages.

I don't mind, as I also love the name Caleb!

No but I think IKEA use it as the name for a bijou storage system in pastel tones.

I love you.

Caleb is much, much nicer.

Never heard of it. I'd have assumed it was a younique spelling of Colby.
