Is Callan a real name for a boy or did I just make it up?  lol

I googled and came up with callan mcauliffe. Looks like a teen who's famous for something- maybe an actor. I'll go read about him next so I'll know. lol

If in doubt, just google.

ETA: yep- is an actor.

Yeah, looks like it can be used for a boy or a girl. I like it.

I like it.  I'm a major fan of Cullen - kind of reminds me of it.

I went to Catholic school K-12, and there was a huge family with kids who all had Irish names (they even adopted internationally and re-named those children Irish names, even though they were old enough to know their original names).  Anyway, one of the girls is named Callan.  I think it's a pretty name.

My cousin just named his son Callan, I like it. He is getting Baby "Cal" already which I think is cute as well.

I hadn't heard the name before, but I like it much more than the popular "Callum".

I love Irish names.

I think I like it too.  We are obsessed with NCIS LA and that is what they call Chris O'Donnell's character, although that is his last name on the show.  I was just thinking of characters that I like on tv because we're having such a hard time with a boys name and thought it sounded nice.  DH likes it too.... might just go on "the list!"

(Baby Cal is a cute nn too!)
