User Comments about the name Caleb


Comment left Nov 12, 2009: "My son is five and called Caleb. We live in England and it's very rare here. Caleb certainly lives up to his name, and is brave, confident and adventurous. I am still thrilled that we chose this name." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 16, 2009: "I chose Caleb James for my son, because I wanted a strong boys name for him, in the Bible Caleb was one of the two spies that said they could over take the giants the other 8 didnt believe. My son is very strong, and I believe this is the right name for him." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Sep 29, 2009: "my son's name is caleb, he gets lots of people pronoucing his name wrong, and being the strong minded gifted individual he is, he soon puts them right. i choose this name long before he was born and i could'nt have chosen a better name, i love it and my son loves it." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 23, 2009: "me and my partner are trying for a baby and if it is a boy, we are going to call him caleb gabriel. quite a religious name, although we are not religious!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 22, 2009: "my son's name is caleb. I was daydreaming in church during my pregnancy and came across the story of caleb and joshua. My husband and I agreed, and today, he is a strong and active 9 year old:) Love the name!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 17, 2009: "My son's name is EMANUEL CALEB. The my wife and i names him this was because being a christian family we believed that the devil wanted to take him from us. We were told 27 times to abort him because he was going to have downsyndrom. Well I am goin to say this my son was born august 4th 7lb 6oz 21 inches long and healthy as can be. My caleb made it to his promised land. If anyone lived in Chicago August 4th 2008 at around 830pm a real bad storm hit us and the streets were flooding and alot of bad things were happening. My only explaination is that there was a war between heaven and hell because we trusted in GOD that our son was going to be born healthy. Trust in God not god's. There is only one true God. Call Him up, allow Him in. John 3:16. The RIOS FAMILY CHICAGO IL" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 23, 2009: "MY SON Caleb was born july 15, 2009. We are christian and it was the only boys name we agreed on. and he is a great baby and i think he suits his name Caleb William." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 11, 2009: "I have just called my son Caleb 31/05/09 he is called after his grand father, great grandfather and as many great great grandfathers as anyone can remember back, so I love the name and to me its not uncommon, however in the UK no one can spell it or say it, well he will be rememberd by everyone who meets him.xx" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 30, 2009: "My son is Caleb and he will be five soon. We had other boy names suggested but with a last name of Smith or Jones, you need to come up with something a little off the beaten path. And frankly he looked like a Caleb. People assume it's spelled KALOB though and pronounce it that way. Our boy is devoted to God and quite precious. Hopefully he'll be strong and virtuous like the Caleb in the Scriptures too." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 09, 2009: "My son was born a week ago and my husband picked his name after the 4 names we had on our list didn't seem to fit him once we saw his little face. I wasn't sure at first but baby needed a name! Now I can't imagine a better name." (Report as inappropriate)
