  I like it, but understand the concern about homophobic little shits picking up on the first syllable. I would definitely do the Galen spelling.
  
  How do you feel about Waylon/Wieland?

  I thought Galen was the usual spelling anyways so I'd definitely go with that.

  Galen is the only way I have seen it. It's okay.

  I like Waylon- maybe DH would be interested.  It's probably a girl anyways.  
  
  My my favorites are Sam and Cormac or Declan.  We are not at the name stage yet, this was not an expected pregnancy!

  Is it a boys name? I definitely wouldn't use it for a boy. Just too easy to be made fun of.

  Idk. It sounds like a last name to me.

  I had the loveliest Galen in my high school, I'm a fan.

  I wouldn't use it. It's asking for your kid to be bullied. Plus, it is so much like all the names that are so redundant these days: Caden, Braden, Alden, Declan, Duncan, Ethan, Carson, etc. Every boy's name sounds the same these days. So over the names ending in 'n'.

  I agree that the -Aden names are way overused lately but I wouldn't lump Galen, Alden, Duncan in with those.  They end in N but have much different sounds and vibes to me.

  Well, I've already passed this name - not happening.  
  
  I do love Declan and Kellen as well....we'll see.

  I like Galen without the y. It's a unique name and reminds me of the Gale from The Hunger Games
