We still have yet to meet another Callum, although we have met two other Everett’s (my older son) in our small town. I have not had any regrets about the name and although people’s reactions are often screwed up faces, I still love it. Poor kid is going to grow up with his mama calling him Cally though.

I’m in Ontario. One is a little brother for Chloe, one is a little brother for Caleb. (I guess they’re both drawn to the popular “K” sound!)

It has just one L, which my mom regrets doing still almost 16 years later. I can’t remember off hand where she heard it.

On the girls’ side, the French Colombe has my heart, and I wish Colombine were still usable.

He’s handsome, strong and obviously Irish without being unpronouncable. I know of two under two living in the Boston area, so I’d wager it will be getting more popular within the next 10 years. Callum’s awesome.

I found it when I was looking for an alternative to Aidan, Liam and Connor, exactly the names you’ve listed. My friend loved those names, but she found them way too popular. I suggested Callum since it’s just as short and sweet.
