The first names are my two favorite boy names! (Given Caleb is spelled with a C). I'm neutral to positive on the middles.
We, however, are not using them (even though my husband really likes them too) because my husband has not one, not two, but four (FOUR!) cousins who named their kids Caleb. We weren't about to be the fifth. And we like Ben as a nickname but our last name is a short one syllable name that begins with B and they just sound stupid together even though they are nice on their own.
