Need a name impression...
| Sun, 06-15-2008 - 7:57pm |
Hello! I was a regular on this board ages and ages ago, and I'm back to seek opinions on a name. I'm expecting baby number four, having three boys already. My son's names are Evan, Jameson and Griffin. If we have another boy, I am considering the name Kellen. I like the fact that it's not too common, but not too out of the ordinary. I also like that it ends in the letter "N" like the other boys' names.
My concern is, that it would be confused for the name "Kelly", which I absolutely hate for a boy. I can't stand overused names, like Ryan or Jacob

Hmm, Kellen is interesting. I like it, but I think it might be a little too girly. I think that what causes me to think this is that I know a Keelin, and also Kellen rhymes with Helen and Ellen. Honestly, I want to like Kellen but I don't think that I could get into it, especially since you said you didn't like Kelly for a boy.
Here is another suggestion - do you like Nolan? I think it matches well with what you said about not being too common but also not too "out there", and it ends with an N. WDYT?
Thanks for your input!! I do like the name Nolan, but my next door neighbor is named that and I wouldn't want to think we were copying them or something, LOL! Thanks again!

Hi there.
I grew-up with a Kellen, his name suited him. He was very athletic and a tad aloof.

What about Keegan? I think that's how you spell it - I only heard it once, then read it somewhere else but it fits what you're looking for.
