Do you think this name is better for a girl or boy?

Question

The name is Caelin (pronounced Kay-lin). My boyfriend and I had it picked for our baby due in December if it was a boy but have since been told be quite a few people that it sounds more like a girls name! We're Irish and found the name on an Irish baby name website on which it lists it as a boys name! We really like the name but dont want to use it for a girl as we already have a few names we like for girls. What do you all think?

Answer 1

its you choice whatever you name your baby its a cute name that sounds girly maybe changed the pronouncement  

Answer 2

It sounds good but I have no idea what it has to do with "Singles & Dating". Yahoo! Answers coding team has one heck of a job to do coz the suggested sections are often quite irrelevant.

Answer 3

it is you're baby you name him or her what you want and that is a beautiful name for a boy or girl

Answer 4

the lin part definitely makes it sound a bit girly. But my son's name is Skyler and they tell me that is a girls name but I don't care I think it's a boys name it reminded me of Tyler lol. So do what you think is best.  

Answer 5

either way you spell the name, if its pronounced kay-lin, then it would be more suitable for a girls name. the poor boy would get teased his whole life.

Answer 6

it reminds me of kayla, which is a girls name. I think its too feminine

Answer 7

for a girl!

Answer 8

Caelin is a boys name! maybe the people telling you it sounds like a girls name are thinking of the name Caitlin!! I like the name Caelin btw =)

Answer 9

caelin is a nice name..i think its def a boy's name..hope u hav a boy (not just coz of the name..i like baby boys much better than girls! :)

Answer 10

this might sound funny - but when it is spelt Caelin then it sounds and looks like a boys name...

when it is spelt kaylin it sounds and looks like a girls name?

Answer 11

I think its a nice name but I agree that it does sound like a girls name. If you do use it for a boy then I suggest it as a middle name b/c kids can be mean and would probably make fun of him. Good Luck!

Answer 12

its a really nice name.. if u ask me its a boys name definitely i mean what do u think????

Answer 13

I definitely think boys name.

Answer 14

It sounds better for a girl.

How about Calvin for a boy instead?

Answer 15

it'd work fine as a boy's name.

Answer 16

girls

Answer 17

I think Caelin sounds more like a boy's name. I like it.  

Answer 18

I think it better as a girls name if you name your boy that he is going to have problems with teasing.  it sounds too much like Katelyn..  if you wanna name a boy here are some similar names (Calvin) (Kaleb) or Cory even. Just my opinion though..  you never know the name could set the boys uniqueness through out his life.  

Answer 19

Thats my best friends name even though its pelt kailin its the same he's a boy but don't ask us because its your baby your decision don't let us choose you choose not even let your friends choose and i love that name for girl or boy.

Answer 20

SOUNDS LIKE A GIRL. WHY DON'T YOU NAME THE BOY KYLON, (KI-LUN) SOUNDS ABOUT THE SAME JUST BOYISH!

Answer 21

a girl for sure.  it would sound g*y for a boy

Answer 22

It's spelled like it'd be okay for a boy, but im leaning towards a girls name

Answer 23

the spelling looks masculine, but the pronunciation sounds feminine because it SOUNDS like Catelyn & I guarantee it will be interpreted verbally & audioally as Catelyn throughout his lifetime.

pick a different, less ambiguous name!
