Baby girl name help

Amgant

So I really like the name Kahlan for a girl but when I had my daughter everyone hated it so I chose something else. We have 3 kids now and are expecting again. If it is a girl is really like to use it but I just want to see what everyone here thinks. Thoughts?

I am with everyone, I don't like it. If you do then maybe you should go for it, but choose a less complicated spelling and a very feminine mn. I like Callen for a boy. Calla is similar but much more feminine.

This! How are you pronouncing it?

Not even knowing how to pronounce it, I already know I don't like it. It looks made up, like you slapped some letters together randomly.

The friend of a friend named her daughter Kahlan, it's a book reference isn't it?

I don't like it at all.

I'm with PP's... how in the heck do you pronounce it?

Maybe with a certain pronunciation it wouldn't be bad but the spelling looks very masculine, I would change the spelling.

Does it sound like the male name "Collin"? Personally I wouldn't name my child something that had unclear pronunciation. Maybe use it as a middle name?

Not a fan....you don't want a name that no one knows how to pronounce. She will get very frustrated in school when she has to constantly correct people.

If you want Kahlan go for it.. I was pressured into naming my son Holten and he is 5 now. Since he was 6 months old I've called him by the NN Bo, never by his real name. I HATE the choice I made BC it was MY kid and I Don even call him by his really name, just a silly nickname!

I would try a different spelling though..
Kaylin
Kaelynn
Kaelin
Kailyn

My thought is that I have no idea what this name is.

It's can be said like kaylynn but I'd say it like Colin. Yes it is from a book. Knowing that so many people don't like it maybe ill just choose something else. I also really like Annalina. From the same book nn Lina
