Does this sound funny?

So we have pretty much decided on Caleb for a first name.  The only thing is, the third letter of our last name is a B.  It would be Caleb Ulb...  Is it too many B's too close together?  I'm just afraid it doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

I don't think that sounds bad.

It doesn't sound bad...but I don't think it sounds very good either. It is a bit awkward to say, IMO, but definitely not horrible by any means.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might sound better?  We don't want a name that's super common, but not something that's too out there either.

Do you like biblical names?

Some of my favorites are: Ezra, Gideon, Gabriel, Jonah,Saul, Solomon and Phillip.

Otherwise I also like: Vincent, Rhett, Elias, Oscar, Felix, Clark and Atticus

Good Luck!

Random thought, but if your last name is long or unusual it might distract from the third letter b...

same here. at least your last name doesn't start with b.

My last name actually DOES start with a B, and we're considering Caleb.  It really doesn't sound bad to me, but maybe to me our last name just flows ok with it!
