What would you pick?

[Babyboyno2]

Basically live on this thread. Baby boy due soon, from NI.
narrowed it down to Callan (I love this & it’s so different) and Aidan which I also like.

what do you prefer??

I don't like Callan, it sounds like Callum...or Alan. A lifetime of correcting people which I would find annoying.

On that basis, I'd go for Aidan.

I love the name Joseph too; strong, masculine, timeless, goes really well with Callum.

Ooop sorry, I meant Callan!

@DancingWithTheDogs Thanks but I think most names can be mistaken really whether it’s spelling or mispronounced

Not really but whatever. You asked for opinions, I gave mine.

@DancingWithTheDogs and that’s why I said “thanks” for your opinion but I was just saying there is a lot of names that may come across as another. As I also liked Ronan , but he would possibly get Rowan or Roman which is currently popular atm.

I know Callan may not be to everyone’s taste but was simply saying

Callan

Callan will be mixed up with Callum, you and your child will be forever correcting people. I prefer Aidan.

Prefer Callan and Callan Joseph sounds great

I really like both names. Aidan would also be correcting the spelling (even on this thread a couple of people have spelt it Aiden), a lot of names get misspelt. I'd go for Callan if the bump feels like a Callan.

Callan, no competition

Thanks everybody me pretty sure he will be Callan ❤️

Wonderful @Babyboyno2 !
Now you go put your feet up and relax, now that the name's sorted lol :)
All the very best to you!

Callan Joseph is Gorgeous.
Job done!

Callan definitely! (But I am a NCIS LA fan!)
Aidan is good too, but not AS good.

Callan

people might mix it up with Callum or Colm though.
Aidan is less hard to ‘mishear’

Why not just call all boys Bob, if that's the logic?

I much prefer Aiden

I really like Callan. Not so keen on Aiden

Callan. “Callum?” Callan. “Alan?”

Go with Aidan. Much nicer and he’s far less likely to spend his life correcting people.

Like both but another vote for Callan. I love Irish names.

Is it callan to rhyme with Alan or kay-lan as I've heard it pronounced both ways so unsure which is right.

Call an
