Do you like either of my boy names?

Gareth, isn't that the name of the Goblin King?

Interesting . . . I'd never heard of the Goblin King, but I just googled it . . .  

Jareth, the Goblin King is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the 1986 fantasy movie Labyrinth. Jareth (David Bowie) is a powerful, mysterious creature who has an antagonistic yet strangely flirtatious relationship with Sarah (Jennifer Connelly), the film's protagonist.  

I wonder how it is pronounced?

My husband is British and his football team is the Hotspurs and the best player right now is Gareth Bale.  He's pretty cute.  https://www.contactmusic.com/photo/gareth-bale-gareth-bale-at-the-adidas-performance-store_3530818

Gareth was also King Arthur's nephew and was a Knight of the Round Table.

From the two I like Gareth best but I prefer Garrett.

I prefer Gareth, but if you use Callum, definitely two Ls.

I LOVE Callum.  It's on my boy list.

I like both, definitely two Ls in Callum, otherwise I would pronounce it Cay-lum (which I also like).

WashingtonQueen

I like Callum.

I don't like either, sorry.

ObLaDi

I adore Callum!

I knew a Calum in HS (pronounced the same with a short a) but I prefer the two Ls for ease of pronunciation.

Callum is okay. I don't like Gareth at all.

Callum is weird and Gareth just looks like someone decided to throw an "e" in there so it wouldn't be Garth.

Gareth > Callum but only slightly.

I love Callum. IMO one L is going to change the pronunciation
