of the name Kellen for a boy? Do you feel it is feminine? Thank you!

I think of Kellan Lutz, the guy who plays one of the Cullens in Twilight. If I met someone right now who had a newborn named Kellan, I'd think she was a big Twi-hard.

I don't think it's feminine.

I love it but prefer it spelled - Kellan!

This.

I hate it. I do think it's feminine.

It's NMS. It seems much too trendy for me.

not really a fan...

I prefer the spelling Kellan as well but I like the name :-)

We are thinking Callen as well but spelled like I did here or the original spelling of Caelan. So of course I like it!

It feels feminine to me (but I wouldn't use it for a girl either). I dislike it.

I know a Kellan who is female and currently 18. She loves her name, but feels that it's not very feminine.

I don't think it is too feminine. It actually reminds me of Killian's beer. My husband would actually love this name LOL

AshleyC0117 · November 2011

I like it and also prefer the spelling Kellan.

Hmm, but don't you have to be one yourself to even know that?

Only people that are twi-hards know the twilights actors names...

Boise State football player Kellen Moore. I do prefer the spelling Kellan though, and its not girly.

I used to work with a guy whose stepson was named Kellen (pretty sure it was spelled this way). I like it, but I don't love it. How about Kieran? I think it has the same feel as Kellen, but it's a stronger name.

No, because I think a lot of people are at least aware of him thanks to some of his other projects and it's kind of hard to completely ignore all things Twilight. I actually know Kellan's brother, so the name just always reminds me of him anyway. He just happens to be in Twilight, as far as I'm concerned.

And there's a difference between being a Twilight fan and being downright crazy enough to name your kid after one of the actors.
