Hi all! After MUCH debate, my DH and I had pretty much decided on the name Case Adrian for our son. Now, less than 24 hours before our C-section, he springs a new name on me... Calen Jack. We both REALLY like the name Cale, but our last name is Lowery and were afraid that it runs together too much. Calen breaks it up and is easier to say. Anyway I'm too nervous about the C-section to think about new names...what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

I'd stick with Case - it's a really great name, and you should trust what you guys have been thinking all these months. You can still call him Cal if you want - that'll be his initials. Good luck with the C-section!!

Well, I prefer Case to Calen, but I think that since you are so close, you should just wait until he is born and you will know which is right. He doesn't have to be named the moment he arrives, you can take a little time with him and try out both names.


If you are still undecided once he is born, I say stick with Case since it was your first instinct.


Good luck!!

I think Calen is too feminine.

I have to say that I like Calen Jack better than Case Adrian. I think it has more of a long lasting quality (I picture an adult Calen more than an adult Case).

I dont really like the name Case, I would prefer Casey with nn Case. I also prefer Caleb over Calen (it does come across a bit feminine), and you can still call him Cale. I really like Caleb Jack Lowery!

I don't know if I am really helping you or maybe confusing you more!

Good luck with the C-Section

I definitely like Calen a lot better than Case. Even though you have been decided on Case for so long I think it is perfectly ok to change at the last minute.

I like Calen(Cale) better than Case. Something to think about is that people might call him Casey if you go with Case. I'd go with Calen Jack, its cute and its new. Ive never seen that name before. Good Luck!

Hmm. I have always been quite partial to the name

I like Calen Jack, if you don't mind it being so similar to the girl versions of Cailyn, Kaelyn, and Kaylen. What about Caden? or Caleb nn Cale?

good luck!
