Reply to: Re: Yes, it is, actually by Miss Claire
I know a boy named Caillou personally. His parents are from Louisiana. They changed the spelling informally to Callier, because people struggle with the pronunciation of Caillou here (Texas). They intuitively pronounce Callier something similar to the way Caillou sounds in a Louisiana accent.


edited subject line, and edited message for clarity
