Comments and insights on the name Caelan: | Edit

We named our daughter Caelan. Many lists have it as only a boys name, but you will find some that list it as a female name. We really liked the sound of the name but wanted a more unconventional spelling. So instead of Cailin, Kaylin, etc...we went with the gaelic Caelan.

Personal experiences with the name Caelan: | Edit

Named our son this after weighing many options in Gaelic/Celtic names for boys. My husband likes it for it's "softer" sound as he does not like hard consonants in names. I liked it for it's uniqueness but that it is still approachable. We've had nothing but compliments and our son is almost 2.
