Is Callum really a naughy name?

[kitty75]

Its DS's middle name and it only has nice connotations for me, so I was surprised to se this in the news as a 'naughty' name. What do you think?

naughty - sorry I can spell but my typing is awful!

is the name of the local bell ringers' son here

i know a callum and hes the most well behaved boy ive met. the name is very popular so statistically it will come near the top of the list of naughty. my ds is called jack and his name is on the top of the list of naughty children.

Apparently so, but not nearly as naughty as Connor and Ryan.

(I know one Callum and he's lovely.)

Skinhead, dirty vest, school trousers, snotty face.

haha..my Callun who is now 14..has always been an angel...and he still is so far 2 years into teenagerhood..and i really can't see him changing.

Now......'Callum' being top of the 'children who don't tidy their bedrooms list'....i would believe!

i did mean callum not callun!

my Calum is only a bit naughty, but then he is only 2. I also went for the alternative spelling with one l, according to my sil it is "abnormal" wtf?!

Our nephew is called Callum and he's lovely

Wouldn't say Callum but Jacks and Harry/Harrisons are def on my naughty need reinforcments list - I speak as someone who has cared for 12 Jacks and 14 Harry/Harrisons of which they have all been -aa handfull little darlings.

I don't think so. Only ever come across one Callum and he was a placid and lovely boy. at MamaLazarou - talk about stereotyping.

I know three callums. all lovely.

IME naughty = reece or ryan!!

sunchild77 - tell your SIL that Calum, with one l, is the traditional Scottish spelling (I think so anyay)

I know 2 little lads called Calum. Both quite bright, but also very loving and placid and quite capable of using their brains to get into mischief. Like nearly every child under 10.

IMLE Connor tends to be quite defiant, Jordan doesn't listen, Rhys is a daredevil and Ryan a quiet and confident lad.

I sacked someone called Callum (a whole series of offences) and the next day stepped round a screaming child who was hitting his long suffering mother in the supermarket named Callum....

My first love was called Callum and he broke my heart.

Still, i think it is a nice name.

IME they have tended to be..er...livewires shall we say.

Ditto, all/most Kyles.

Aw my Callum is lovely! However, whenever we are out and about and there is a child being screeched at by his mother, the name being screeched is Callum most of the time!

yes, and Kyle.

i do not know one well behaved Kyle.

My ds2's name is 4th on the list of 'naughty names' and true enough, I remember all the Daniels I went to school with being very naughty little boys!

I hadn't thought of it in that way but the only Calum I know is really naughty!
Maybe it's the missing "L"

I have a Callum and a Connor, Callum is a bit naughty but he is 2 so allowed to be, my Connor is very well behaved and polite.
