We like unique baby names, but nothing too unique. I want them to have a name that is not in their class. We are between Callen and my husband loves Luca. I saw Luca is very popular, so curious if you agree? I loved Callahan, but doesn’t necessarily fit us. Our first has a country name, so any help appreciated:)

I’m a teacher and have met lots of little Luca’s out there. But it’s not like there have ever been multiple in a class. I do think Callen is more rare.

I love the southern/country names! I saw a huge list but a few I really love are Waylon, Wyatt, Rhett, beau and Sterling. I’m having a girl though so I didn’t get to use any!

Funny, I have a Luca and my nephew is Callen. I much prefer the Callan spelling but have noticed it is increasing in popularity as well. Not that it is as popular as Luca but I see it popping up on lots of name boards and have met a few at the park. Luca is such a precious name to me too though, can’t go wrong either way!

how funny! Our top boy names right now are very similar. Callum and Lucas. We’re leaning more towards Callum (Scottish Gaelic) and my family is predominantly Scottish. And I love the nickname of Cal.

I think you can get a unique name by looking to see what is popular in other countries. My son is named Artem, which is very popular in Russia, but super uncommon in the US. Other countries can have some cool names to pick from without getting super weird. Worth a check if you’re curious to see what else is out there!

I love Cillian too but I didn’t like the lack of nickname. We are big into nicknames

My husband and I are naming our boy Callan! Callan David. My husband is Irish so he wanted something to match. That’s so awesome!
