HelpRe: Calum
in reply to a message by Eden
It's pronounced KA-lum, with a short "a" like in "cat". Calum / Callum, usually with nn Cal, is one of the most overused boys' names here at the moment, but if it weren't for that, I think I'd really like it. So if it's unusual where you live, then definitely a good choice :-)

you're British, right? Or Scottish. Sorry, I never can remember! So, you probably pronounce cat a bit softer than we ugly americans do. :)
Maybe, then, Americans pronounce it differently than the British.

Lol, yes, Scottish. The accent is soft, but come to think of it, I've never heard Calum pronouncedby an an American, so it's hard to tell :-)

I've only heard of one
here (though I'm sure there are a lot more)and that was an internet friend's son's name. Is it a lot more popular than Finlay/Finley there?

There are no Finley's my age at all (I'm almost 18) but just recently it's soared! Spelled Finlay, it's in the early 30s now, and is still growing :-( A shame, because I love it. Luckily for you though, Finley hasn't ranked in the States for decades - I'll keep my fingers crossed it stays that way!
