Galen

Just add a Y to it :) it looks better! Like Jalen I don’t really like the fact of Not adding Y’s to ay-Lin names.

I actually love the name Galen as a girl’s name! It’s very unique and elegant! But this name does have feminine forms ~Galene and Galena... even Gala, so I personally prefer Galen and all its feminine forms for a girl and mostly Galen for a boy. Giving a boy's name to a girl which is cute will still be considered a masculine name, it’s not like everyone is going to give their daughters boy names, they’re usually named Sophia and Emily!

Mad/Calm is a great if oxymoronic name meaning and as someone who likes weird names, I'm thinkin' warrior type or mad-paragon characters.

Love this name! My favorite spelling is Gaelin, but it's fantastic any way. I knew a guy with this name, though he spelled it Gaelynn. I highly recommend this name! For a boy, at least; I don't care for it on a girl.

Another way to spell this name is 'Gaelen'. I much prefer that spelling to the others.

I've never heard this used as a girl's name. It's definitely a masculine name for me. I'd definitely consider it as a name for my son. It's a nice, traditional sounding name with a nice meaning.

I like this name, it SOUNDS calm.

My name is Galen. I actually think it sounds cool if you keep saying it over and over again, and for the immature people, forget the first part that sounds like (gay). I actually get made fun of a lot. I also don't believe in what the Swedish say it means because I have a lot of friends and none of them show any sign of getting annoyed with me or just don't like me. Well I shouldn't say never but everyone has to with someone. But I just want to say to the people who think the name sounds funny and right away think of (gay) when they hear it, Grow up!

It DOES mean "mad" in Swedish. Look in a Swedish-English dictionary. Just because it means something bad in one language it doesn't make it a bad name! There are people here in Sweden called Gun.

As a Swede, I can't understand how someone can have this name, because Galen means crazy in Swedish.

WOW, that is so crazy how a name can mean something beautiful in one language and something horrible in another. I knew someone with this name. I didn't like him much but I thought the name was different. His name was Galen Sean. I thought it was pretty but by American standards I am sure it as viewed as being too feminine.

I am very happy that this name doesn't have a y in it :-D.
