How would you pronounce Callen? - Boy Names

May 2024 · 1 minute read

I’m really liking the name [name_m]Callen[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] for my second boy, due in [name_f]April[/name_f]. I think it flows well with his brother, who is [name_m]Gannon[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. If it isn’t obvious, I really tend to like Irish surnames that aren’t overly common! However, I’m worried how it will be pronounced and if we’ll always be correcting people. The correct pronunciation is [name_u]Cal[/name_u]-en (rhymes with [name_m]Alan[/name_m]), but at first glace, would you say it like [name_m]Collin[/name_m] or [name_f]Cay[/name_f]-len? Would spelling it [name_m]Callan[/name_m] be better? Also, any opinions of this name in general would be great, as we are really struggling this time!
