Caleb or Caelen?

I like both these names equally but some days i prefer one over the other. What do you prefer?
Also out of these which do you prefer

[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] or [name_m]Tiago[/name_m] (tee-argo)
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] or [name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee)
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] or [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] or [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thanos[/name_m] or [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Jago[/name_m] (jay-go) or [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]?

Thanks

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] - I know it’s legit, but [name_m]Caelen[/name_m] looks very trydny. I can see it blending in with the [name_f]Kaylen[/name_f], [name_m]Cayden[/name_m], [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] names.
[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Tiago[/name_m] and it is on the same level of ‘like’ for me as [name_m]Matteo[/name_m], but I prefer [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] for it’s nickname options.
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] - [name_u]Luca[/name_u] has never appealed to me. [name_m]Louis[/name_m] with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation is absolutely lovely.
[name_u]James[/name_u] - I’m neutral on [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], but I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. It’s a very handsome classic that ages well.
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - I wouldn’t use either name myself, but they aren’t bad names. I prefer [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] because of the nicknames [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_m]Lio[/name_m].
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] - [name_m]Thanos[/name_m] is interesting, but I see future pronunciation issues. It also reminds me of Thanatos. Not a very good association. [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] gives the cute nickname [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]!
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m] - Another set that is evenly leveled for me. I prefer [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] for it’s familiarity.

I prefer [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], or [name_m]Callan[/name_m].

[name_m]Tiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m]

I was going to write a response, but I realized I was agreeing with @ikfly on every single name, so I echo everything she says =)

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] for sure! I like [name_m]Caelan[/name_m] (although the one [name_m]Caelan[/name_m] I met in real life was a nightmare, haha), but [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] is by far my favorite boys’ name, and I can’t vote for anything above him. :slight_smile:

Of the others:

[name_m]Matteo[/name_m] vs. [name_m]Tiago[/name_m]: [name_m]Tiago[/name_m] for sure! I like both, but I’ve always had a huge thing for [name_m]Santiago[/name_m]/[name_m]Thiago[/name_m]/[name_m]Tiago[/name_m], even though I probably won’t ever use it. :slight_smile:
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] or [name_m]Louis[/name_m]: definitely [name_m]Louis[/name_m], but if it was between [name_m]Lukas[/name_m] and [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], I would be really torn. I really adore both of those! I love [name_m]Louis[/name_m] a lot, too, but I’ve never been wowed by [name_u]Luca[/name_u].
[name_u]Rhys[/name_u] or [name_u]James[/name_u]: definitely [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]! I love that, but [name_u]James[/name_u] is rather plain for me (I know, I know, the Berries will crucify me, because it’s well-loved here, but despite all the classic names I love, [name_u]James[/name_u] is really not one of them)
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] or [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]: As a FN, I’d say [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], but as a MN, I’d say [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]! So tough. Which is ironic, because I prefer [name_m]Nate[/name_m] to [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
[name_m]Thanos[/name_m] or [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]: Definitely [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]! I love the nns [name_m]Thad[/name_m] and [name_m]Tad[/name_m], and I just can’t take [name_m]Thanos[/name_m] seriously–I just think of the [name_f]Marvel[/name_f] baddie. [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] is great, though.
[name_m]Jago[/name_m] or [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]: definitely [name_m]Angelo[/name_m]! Which I find pretty cool. I never would have said [name_m]Jago[/name_m] as [name_u]JAY[/name_u]-go, and always want to say [name_m]Iago[/name_m] when I think of it (which puts me off even more, because the Shakespearean [name_m]Iago[/name_m] is pretty bad).

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]Tiago[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], and [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] are my favorites!

Good luck!
