heard a really bad name today.

Now, obviously I've heard the name Kale. I've also heard the name Callum, which I really like. Today, I heard the name Kaylem. I don't know if this is an actual name with a bad spelling or what, but I was just like, what even is that. Sounds pretty much how it's spelled; like Kale + Callum. Ugh. And it wasn't on a kid; this guy was late-20s.

WDYT?

I agree that it's awful. I don't even get Kale as a name. Why would you want to name your child after a vegetable?

looks like Kay-lum to me which i'd assume was a girl tbh.

I love Callum. Kale I find a bit clunky and it has that trendy K, I think it should stay as a leafy vegetable. Kaylem is weird.

I meet a guy this yr who was mid 20's called Kallon, I was also like what is that. Their parents were way ahead of the trends.

my nephew who is a couple yrs younger than me went to school with a boy named Kellen. this was in the early 90s so it was quite an unusual name to hear.

Phew, I saw Callum and I was LIKE OMG WAIT. (My son is named Callum) (Just born 5-5 and he is AMAZING). :)

But Kaylem.. No.

I have a friend whose son is named Kaylem .. Pronounced Callum.. It's pretty gross imo.
