It could grow on me and I love Cal for short.

No, the only one I know was jailed for domestic violence and has a really bad attitude.

MinnieCoops · 05/04/2025 18:17

Klein boxers comes into mind instantly

I immediately think of Calvin valentine from hollyoaks back in the day

Moveoverdarlin · 05/04/2025 18:18

Think it’s awful.

TomatoSandwiches · 05/04/2025 18:19

No, similarly to a pp the only one I knew was a well known deviant!

ElizaMulvil · 05/04/2025 18:29

No, no - far too religious to saddle a child with this ( = God's elect - in a bad way) Even Cromwell thought they were awful.

pamshortsbrokenbothherlegs · 05/04/2025 18:31

I really like it, and love Cal.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 05/04/2025 18:33

Vinnie is really cute for a little boy, too

sommerjade · 05/04/2025 18:35

Klein.

Also, Vinnie reminds me of Vinnie Jones

GreenMarigold · 05/04/2025 18:39

My association is Calvin & Hobbes. I’m not keen on it at all as a name.

HarryVanderspeigle · 05/04/2025 19:05

I like it. The one i know is a lovely guy.

Riverswims · 05/04/2025 19:26

Calvin is the name of one of the best humans I know 🫂

cheapskatemum · 05/04/2025 21:28

I like Calvin - and Calvinists.

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 05/04/2025 21:39

The trouble it it’s written on a lot of pants

lurkerchan · 05/04/2025 22:07

Forever associated with Calvin Klein

Jessbow · 05/04/2025 22:35

Saves on name tapes

MrsSkylerWhite · 05/04/2025 22:38

Makes me think of pants.

Grimbeorn · 05/04/2025 22:41

Think it means "bald"? But lots of people have names with dodgy meanings so this may not matter to you.
It sounds nice, I'd be happy with it.

PlanetOtter · 05/04/2025 22:41

Make me think:

Pants
&Hobbs
Calvinism

in that order.

I do like Cal though, which is weird as I’m not keen on Callum either!

YesItsMeYesItsMe · 05/04/2025 22:42

Loved Cal, but couldn’t find a longer version I liked. Calvin just not quite right for me. We went for Evan instead.
