I like it spelled Calum too. Unfortunately a lot of Irish or Celtic names are seen as trashy or "chavvy" in England, such as Liam, Connor, Callum, Reece, Shane, Kieran, Kyle. I'm not sure why. Maybe because they're not considered as classic and traditional as names like William, George and Edward or are seen as "lower class" or something due to stereotypes about the Irish etc. Being half Irish myself I think it's a shame!

I think the -Mae trend was sweet at the beginning but it's become so overused now, it feels kind of unimaginative.
