fransmom · 30/04/2008 16:08

apparently it does mean 'dove' and comes from celtic/gaelic

HonoriaGlossop · 30/04/2008 16:35

I think it's lovely.

belgo · 30/04/2008 16:35

I think its quite nice. Very different, in a good way.

AbbeyA · 30/04/2008 16:49

I think it will get mistaken for Colin.

My old dentist was called Colm, sounds good said with an Irish accent, not so good otherwise.

dizzydixies · 01/05/2008 08:40

agree with the Irish accent needed

like callan too

My cousin and my friends brother both called Colm. Both are Irish. It's a common enough name in Ireland - but sometimes the pronounciation/ spelling will trip people up (many Irish names!). If thats not a problem for you - go for it.

I think its lovely.

QueenMeabhOfConnaught · 01/05/2008 13:18

When you say it, it always make me think "column". But I still like it!

Not my choice, but then not my baby either.
