Thoughts on Callan?

Baby boy due in about 7 weeks. Have a few ideas in my head but then I heard the name Callan (I’m Scottish so it’s not totally unusual here nor is it over used) and wondered people’s thoughts? It means brave and is of Irish / Scottish origin.

Yay, thank you for updating! Always on baby name threads I wonder what they ended up naming the baby. I love, love, love the name Callan, so pleased you chose this name. Congratulations, enjoy your baby boy!

I love Callan! I used to work with a lovely guy called Callan (always helps...I mean you'd never call them after your school bully would you!) and also love NCIS LA which has/had a character they called Callen (Chris O'Donnel) so extra points. Congratulations on the new arrival ❤
