how to spell this name

[rdk]

anyone got an ideas how else you could spell this name my mother in law was sitting there and was saying names then she made this one up but not sure how to spell it really and its not in any baby name books but here goes kailon
k a i - l o n

There's boys names:

Keelan
Cáolán

I guess it depends if you want to pronounce it Keelan or Kaylon

kailon, for some strange reason reminds me of calogen, which is a high-calorie build up medicine. or as peter called, it fattyglopp.

havent read whoe thread, but my cousins name is Caelan (another irish spelling) and I love it

'Kailon Fireaxe
Kailon was a character of one of the players in my roleplaying game. He was a dwarven cleric who discovered a magical axe called Trollbane.'

i found that if its any help?

RDK, I have just read this thread and I am so sorry you took a bashing. There is a running joke on MN about names very similar to the one you have chosen, which is why everyone laughed at it, it isn't fair on you and I hope you aren't too upset.

It seems that firstly it is a real name already, possibly West Indian or Irish, nothing wrong with that.

It isn't a name I would choose myself as I know lots and lots of children called Kayden and similar, and it seems to be very fashionable and I am an inverted snob and don't like to use anything that sounds fashionable! But if you do, then go for it as you should always give your child a name that you love, no matter what anyone else thinks.

Mine have unusual names but I love them, so I have a feeling they will not have too much trouble as they will have the confidence to carry them off iyswim.

It is nice that you have found something you like for your little boy

Try to ignore the silly comments, everyone is just laughing at the in joke, not really at you though it must feel like it.

Oh and Kai is lovely, I think it is nicer, but is also very trendy at the moment.

Misdee I cannot help laughing at that

nither could i

Hey all, as we are on the subject of how to spell names maybe u could give me ur opinion on the best way to spell my DD future name.

Marcie
Marcey
Marcy
Marci
Or any other ideas welcome,

Not to bothered as whether people like it or not as we do, but am very interested to find out the best way of spelling it.

Thanking u all in advance xx

Marcie .. the others look a bit daft

ROFL at thread

I really don't think made up names are a good idea

FA - you are so nice, I wanted to type something like that, but you put it far better then me!

mummylittle: Marcie. I also like Maisie.

My nephew is Calin

I met a boy called Cailin (not sure of spelling but pronounced Kay-lin) today

I quite liked it

I didn't think of Kaolin or whatever until it was mentioned earlier

My friend in Wales called his son Cai/ Cae (sp?) which is welsh for grass (pr Ki), I liked that.

I don't think it's fair to get cross at people pointing out the bullying aspects, more valuable IMHO; we had a girl called Cath Hunt and I bet she wishes her parents had asked people what they thought first ....

Caelon is an alternative spelling of Caelan, meaning (apparently) "powerful in battle".

Marcie and Marcia are lovely. you could pronounce it Mar-see-a or Mar-sha iyswim.

Oh, rdk are you star trek fans? The Keylon empire was ruthless!

My son is Kai. It means Pier in Norwegian, uncooked fruit in Malayam, ocean in Hawaiian and willow tree in native indian!

Caelen is nice - there was a boy at ds's school called that - also a boy in our road is called Kester

well as i said earlier all i wanted was to see if anyone had and ideas on how else i could possibly spell it not opinions, but i bet a lot of you have children with boring names like

jack
ryan
andrew
james etc

now thats what you called boring

RDK why insult a whole host of other names? You are doing exactly what you're complaining about others doing, how ironic.

most people on here have enjoyed taking the piss out of the name i said so lets see how they like it
