So, my husband and I both really like the nickname Cal for... something. Calvin? Not sure on that one. We like it, but don't LOVE it. I also saw that Cal can be a nickname for Charles.
Are there any names other than Calvin and Charles that could end up with Cal as a nickname? Am I missing anything?
A lot of people love Calvin! Whenever I bring it up here it gets a lot of love. Not sure what's holding us back from it, but we might have to seriously look at it.

Calvin is quickly becoming my new favorite boy name (and I usually could give two craps about boy's names lol). I think Calvin and Theodore is adorable!
This thread terrifies me because Calvin is my top choice and I like names that aren't widely used. It's incredibly obscure in our area, but I'm afraid that in 5 years Calvin will be the new Noah. @KimberlyMav, you have great taste!
More to the point, I would use Cal as a nn for Calvin only. It doesn't really make sense to me for Charles, especially since Charles already has its fair share of recognized nicknames.
I have a friend that calls her boy Cal. They are from the South so this may be a little "Southern." His name is Thomas Calhoun. My point is that you could always pick the "Cal" name to be a middle name if you are not 100% sold on Calvin or the others listed. For what it's worth I think Calvin is a nice name. Good luck!
I'm pretty sure that Kate Winslet partner in Titanic was called Cal, the posh rich guy she got on the boat with before she met Jack/Leo. I think if you live the name as Cal call him Cal x
I used to watch the show The OC and a character's name was Caleb but everyone called him Cal. I like Cal a lot but my last name is Patty and well, you see why it's not an option!
