Hmm… I worry about pronunciation with all of them.

With the “ier” on [name]Collier[/name] I think some people would think it’s the “yay” sound and some might think it’s “yur”.

For [name]Calder[/name], I personally say is call-der (call rhyming with fall), but maybe that’s just me?

And if I saw the name Coular, I would pronounce it “cooler” or maybe “cow-ler”. I would go with Cohler maybe?

[name]Hope[/name] this helps. Others feel free to correct me if I’m the only one with the pronunciation issues!!

I don’t have an issue with [name]Collier[/name] or [name]Calder[/name] (though I also pronounce it call-der). As for Coular, I would probably pronounce it cooler too if I didn’t know the kid. Pronouncing it kohler makes me think of the toilet brand!

I like [name]Calder[/name] a lot (also pronounce it call-der— doesn’t make the great nickname ‘[name]Cal[/name]’ any less usable though).
[name]Collier[/name] I don’t like. Sounds like it should be the occupational name of someone who works with Collies (the dog). If you use this name, don’t ever have a family dog that’s a [name]Collie[/name].
Coular I like even less. Reminds me of toilets and coolers. Also, maybe it’s not, but it feels made up. Like you wanted to get to the NN [name]Cole[/name] and just threw some letter together to get there.

Haha I went to school with a kid named Coular and always thought his name was pretty cool. I also pronounce [name]Calder[/name] call-der but I thought cal could still work as a nick name
