Calvin

Heard a mom call her (approx) five-year-old son Calvin today, along with little brother Finn.
Had a renewed interest in the name. Sounds a little bit funny with the sibling name, though.

This is my #1. If we are having a boy, I'm 99% sure this will be his name. I love it. It's quirky and cute. Traditional and modern, popular but not overused. And the nn Cal... or CJ if we use a J mn

Calvin and Hobbes with Dennis the Menace! I don't know if that was intended but it fits.

That's so sweet. My 14 month old is Calvin Andrew.

And used it as the first name instead. He's 14 months old and a constant companion to his 3 year old brother.

We named our now 5 month old son calvin dennis, it totally suits his little personality.

I love the name. Not the best meaning, but still love it.

While Calvin O'Keefe is *a* main character in the A Wrinkle in Time series, I don't think he's *the* main character. That would be Meg Murry.

I always think of a Calvin as a very cool cat-- like he'd be the guy with impeccable taste who is always well-dressed, whose opinions you'd seek out on the newest restaurants in town, or what music he's listening to. Quirky but cozy is so right since there's that element of artsy hipsterism to Calvin, but it's also very American boy next door and lived-in. The name's meaning is not the best though -.- But the nickname Cal, and the sound of the whole name, is just breezy and awesome! All in all Calvin's still a great name.

Why?

This name is so appealing!

Sure, if you're a Baptist :)

Instantly think of the Calvin and Hobbes and the Calvin cycle from biology. A Devilishly cute yet smart trouble maker? sounds like the perfect boy's name to me.

I'venever considered Calvin before, but themore I say it, the better it sounds. I love Cal

I love this name. It's a name on my husbands side and I just adore it and am using it in the middle for a future son.

WOW. LOOOOOVED THIS NAME, BUT just now heard that it is Snoop Dog's (or Snoop Lion's) name irl... Definitely dropped this gorgeous name down a few pegs in my book.

I don't see Calvin as quirky at all, I think it's really handsome. It's not too common but not underrated, it's classic but cool, you can call him Cal or Vinny. I love it! It's a new addition to my list. ☺️

I think Kalvin, spelled with a K, is also a good name.

I really like this... strong but quirky and warm.

I think another cool and unisex alternative could be Calvary.

"Quirky but cozy"; nailed it.
