in your opinion?

What if it were pronounced Kale-in?

    boy... because I know a boy named Calen.. Kay-len.

  • When I first read it I thought it was a girls name.
  • Could go either way--- I thought boy when I first saw it, but that was only next to Cael....I may have thought girl if it was by itself, like some version of Kaitlyn.
  • It's a boy's name.  If I see it as a boy, I think, cool gaelic name.  If I saw it as a girl name, I'd think "Silly American trying to use inventive spelling."

  • IMO it looks like a boy's name but sounds like a girl's name, if that makes sense.
  • I say it could go either way but then again my husband's name is Kellas.
  • traditionally it is a gaelic male name.  i think its still pronounced kay-lin though.  i do know a little girl with this name but i've always thought it was odd but very fitting for her.

  • I automatically thought "girl" but I don't know anyone actually named Caelen.

  • Spelled Caelen it's a boy name.

    Spelled Kailyn it a girl name.

     I've seen both, very cute.

  • I wanted it as a boys name, but DH refused saying he thought it was too girly...
