My brother's name is Kenneth Calvin Elvis. I like Calvin, and call the brother Kenneth Calvin a lot. To me it makes me think of a funny guy because of Calvin and Hobbes.
The religious history of the name, Calvin Klein, and the fact that this is Snoop Dogg's name are all contributing factors as to why I don't like the name.
Suddenly I'm totally in love with this name. It's so cool and masculine, and I love love love the nickname Cal. I'm not a religious person, but the so-called religious connotations of this name don't bother me, as I don't think such connotations are that strong at all. If I had a baby boy to name at this minute, I'd call him Calvin.
My name is Calvin and I like it very much. It is actually a pretty rare name where I live (Brazil) though it always reminds people of Calvin and Hobbes.
A famous bearer of this name is Calvin Johnson, the founder of alternative label K Records, which signed Beat Happening and other influential acts. He worked with Beck on his 1994 album One Foot in the Grave.
This is my favorite name for a boy. It's a classic that isn't overly common and ages well, working for a little boy (thanks to Calvin and Hobbes) or an adult. It fits whatever your son grows up to be because it is both masculine but can also work for someone who's sort of indie. I love it.
Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes! If a kid was named this, they might get references to those comics, but probably not very often since most people their age won't know what they are. I really like this name, cal isn't too bad of a nickname either.
