Comment left Sep 25, 2008: "I THINK MY NAME "CALVIN" IS A STRONG NAME & I LIKE THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE MY NAME ~ THANKS ~ PARENTS FOR THE NAME !!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 25, 2008: "My name calvin with a K, what does it mean anyway" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 01, 2008: "I named my son Calvin after my grandfather. It is a traditional English name that has been passed down for generations (Robert Calvin). I think it's a beautiful, original, traditional but hip name ("Cal"). It suits him, too. It's a cute name now, but it's also a name he can grow with. Some of the names today sound absurd when you think of a grown man walking around with it." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 10, 2007: "I am a very young mom, and people seem surprised when I tell them what I named my new baby boy: "Calvin? You didn't give him a dorky hippy name???" I think it's perfect- not to wierd, but not too common either. There's a little bit of trouble with pronunciation since I live close to the Mexican border, but after saying it a couple of times most spanish-spakers get it alright. ("KAHL-veen? Oh, ok!")"

Comment left Sep 16, 2006: "My sons name is Calvin. Here in the Netherlands People always say and spell it wrong. They say "kAlwin" and spell it "Kelvin".
I saw the name on a card once and I thought it was great. Offcourse there is Calvin Klein and one of the characters in Jennifer's Crusies' book 'Bet me" is Called Calvin.
Now, my son is three years old an I think the name Calvin fits him perfectly...
I still think its a great name and am glad I Gave it to my son..." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 02, 2006: "We named our son Calvin 18 months ago. We are often asked of the spelling ("Is that with a 'C' or a 'K'?" What?!), but most people say his name fits his personality. So far he is the only one I know and I love the name as much as the boy." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 30, 2006: "The best way to spell it is "calvin"
Our son is named this. he is 4. people associate it with Calvin and Hobbes or Calvin Coolidge. We know people who have named their kids Calvin becuase they liked our's so much. But other than those people we have yet to meet someone with the same name. Not very popular." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 24, 2006: "Calvin was my great grandfather's name and is my son's name. He goes by Cal and it suits him.
Have only met one other child with the name, but several old men." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 05, 2006: "My name is Calvin. When I visit my family out of the US, they usually spell my name with a K. At school, there are about three Calvins, and yes i counted. Having been named Calvin, i have the honor of sharing it with many other famous "Calvin's" s/a Calvin Klein, Coolidge, and the ever popular Calvin and Hobbes comics." (Report as inappropriate)
