[Opinions] Re: Caleb
Kind of like it, kind of don't. It's fine until you get to the final B. That's where I lose some love for it. I love the nickname Cal, but I don't find it springs naturally from Caleb, because the first syllable of Caleb does not sound identical to Cal. I used to think that I'd name a son Calvin, which I love, to call him Cal, rather than Caleb. That was until people here pointed out that Calvin is reminiscent of John Calvin, the leader of the Protestant Reformation. So I'd have to rethink that. For my fantasy life in which I'm still young enough to have children and want more than two, lol. Sorry, I digressed quite a bit but I'm not erasing it!

Huh. When I hear Cal/Calvin I think of Calvin Klein, Cal Ripken, Calvin & Hobbs... and then maybe John Calvin. I like Calvin better than Caleb as well. Cal is cute!

Same, here. John Calvin would be on the very bottom of my list, if it even made the list.
