Caleb

One of my favorite boy names

Cool name unfortunately I have bad association

I don't like the name Caleb. IDK why though.

I agree all those names you mentioned are lovely. I could never get sick of hearing Noah, I just love it!

My twins are Cato Denver and Caleb King!

Love Caleb and the K. version, Kaleb

It's a lovely name. It has a religious background but still sounds very modern. I fell in love with it after i heard a dad call out his son at a shopping center. Strong name for a boy. Cal is a nice nickname too!

Caleb is a really nice name with a lovely, unique sound. It's similar in sound and feel to Jacob, but far less popular, and IMO nickname Cal is nicer and will age better than Jake or Coby.

The only problem is that Caleb is really catching on: no. 25 in the US, 50 in NZ, 67 in Australia and 93 in England and Wales in 2014. And it does look to still be rising, so in 10 years or so it could well be the new Jacob.

Calix ("KAY-lix" or "CAL-ix") is a potential alternative for a much less popular short, strong Cal- name. I personally like it, but be warned that it's very similar in sound to "calyx", a part of the kidney. I doubt many people would make that association though.

I never really got this name, sounds weird to me. Maybe its that I know 6 Calebs but idk...

This is a wonderful name.

I think Caleb is one of the nicest biblical boy names out there, with a great meaning, great sound and spelling, accessible nicknames, and familiar associations. My first association with this name, besides the (quite a number of) real-life people I know named Caleb, would be Caleb Followill from Kings of Leon.

I know so many people in my Christian acquaintance circle who are naming their sons Caleb- every new baby boy in the group, it seems, is named either Caleb, Jacob, Noah or Asher. All of which are great names.

The lead singer of the Kings of Leon makes me love this name!

I have a few friends who want to name their son Caleb and even my husband really likes it but I just don't. Simple as. I don't think it's a bad name and it has a lovely meaning, I just don't hear a name that I could ever love it's just so 'meh' to me.

Caleb Prior ruined this name for me :/

If my cousin didn't have this name it'd be at the top of my list. 😩

I used to like this name a lot more, but it's so incredibly popular where I live. I know so many young Calebs, it just seems like around here everyone names their sons Caleb and Oliver and not much else. But they are great names, don't get me wrong.

This is one of my very favorite names of all time, and is definitely on my shortlist of boys' names to seriously consider one day. It's a very attractive alternative to too common Biblical standards like Jacob. I also like that it's not very common in my state.

In my opinion it just reminds me of the idiotic Caleb Prior from Divergent. I do not like him at all. The name is nice though and I'm kinda sad that every time i hear the name it reminds me of Caleb Prior.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this name. Love Cal as a nickname too.
