Personal experiences with the name Caelum

I first heard the name when reading The Wayfarer Redemption, by Sara Douglass. Kind of similar sounding to Caleb but different.

I named my son Caelum (pronounced like Caleb but with an M at the end instead) because it's unique and has a beautiful meaning. I get compliments on his name all the time. He is very smart (knows his alphabets and numbers before age 2), is kind (adores animals) and is very sociable.
