I've always liked it, but both Calvins I know have been people I didn't like at all.

I like it, especially because I like Calvin & Hobbes.

Not a fan - there was a character with this name on a TV show I liked as a kid, but he was the villain, so I've never liked the name.

I love it. Though it does make me think of Calvin Coolidge.

I love it, especially because of its pop culture and historical references.

I think it's fine but I wouldn't use it. It's not horrible or anything, it's just not my style.

It's my sister's boyfriend's name, so I think of him. I didn't like it before he joined the family, and I'm still not very fond of it. It seems a bit harsh sounding to me.

Calvin & Hobbes. I love that comic, but not the name.
I don't like the sound and...the RL Calvin I knew was kind of a dork.

I love it- I think it's sweet and classic.

Calvin is my grandfather's name... and my father's... and my brother's... and my nephews... yeah... I'm all 'Calvin-ed' out I guess.

I think Calvin & Hobbes, which I adore, and Calvin from Madeleine L'Engle's books, which is also awesome. I'm right on the edge of perceiving it as either an awful name or one that's neat in a so-clunky-it's-cool way, like Matilda. Cal is a great nickname if Calvin turns out to be too much.

A guy I know just had a song with his now wife and they named him Calvin and got him a stuffed tiger they named Hobbes.

I love it.

I really don't like the whole Calvinism connotation that I have, but in itself, it's a fine name.
