you guys ever think of a name then think of how other kids can tease your kid? hopefully i'm not the only one.. anyways how could Callum be teased. My H loves this name bc of his scottish background. Also, does it sound stuck up?

    The only thing I can really think of is "Callous" "Call 'em" and "Calcium." Not horrendous teasers. I would probably foresee him getting called "Cal" for short.

    I guess like another poster said, callous but that's not bad...

     

    I just watched a show and this father named his sons Winner and Loser....

    I like Callum.  I don't see it as particularly tease worthy.

    I like the name. Stepping into the shoes of a 7 year-old class clown, all I could think of is Ca-lumsy Callum and Cal-lump. I think you can do that with any name though so I would stick with it!

    I always think of talcum powder... That's not really something someone could be teased about, though, TBH.

    I totally hate the name, though. Really, I despise it utterly. It just has a terribly unattractive sound to me. It's a legit name, though, so I don't have a real complaint.

    If he were really into video games later in life, he could make the screen name Kill'Em Callum...maybe? I dunno. I like the name, though.

    ok, I guess I'm the only one,and I might be pronouncing the name incorrectly, but everytime I see this name I think of Gollum from LOTR. (and I haven't watched the movie in years)
