I just found a name I like. Kaler (or you could do Caler or Kalor or Calor). It is different but sounds enough like Taylor to not be totally out there. I was thinking of it as a boy name, but is it too girly? I wish I had heard this name when naming my boy!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It reminds me too of the name Kyler, a Tyler\/Kyle combination. And of the name Cale.<\/p>\n
I think Kaler is risky for boys because of being SO CLOSE to Kayla. (In fact, Kayler would be a cute Kayla variation.) The C spelling helps dull the connection, but I find I then accidentally pronounce Cal as in Calum or Calvin (so that the name rhymes with valor instead of with tailor).<\/p>\n
Opinions? What do you think of Kaler\/Caler\/Kalor\/Calor? Would you use it for a boy or for a girl or for either or for neither? How would you spell it?
