Help[Opinions] Kalle?
What do you think of Kalle for a boy? I was looking through my old yearbook and I found a guy with this name in a grade behind me. I'm pretty sure it's pronounced KAH-lay.

Why not Karl, nn Kalle?
Kalle (or Calle) is a nn for Karl (or Carl). Can't think of anything more manly than this name, since "karl" also means "man" in Swedish.

I really like it. It's on my long list. It's really spunky, and I'm just nuts for Cal names (boys and girls.

I particularly dont like it i think it sounds rather girly.

I don't really like it, if it's pronounced that way. At least, not on a boy. It sounds really nice though. I think we talked about Calais the other day :o) I think that's nice on a girl, if you like place names.
