Colin 2

Looks too close to Colon. The spelling "Collin" alleviates this problem greatly, not that I'm a huge fan of either name.

Dislike both pronunciations.

Colin is such a cool name with so many great meanings! It could mean victory of the people, or dog, or dove. Cole is a super nickname too.

Colin and Helen are cute twin names.

I am sorry, but Colin is an awful name. I also live near a Colin that is horrible.

I like this name but it sounds like colon, lol.

Colin/Collin "Call-IN" like pollen is a great name for a boy and man. I would recommend it to anybody! I like that it means "dove" in Gaelic.

Growing up, one of my best friends' name was Collin. He was a one-of-a-kind person: good-hearted, extremely intelligent, creative, an amazing amateur actor, funny, and is now in Nepal, translating books. That is the impression I will always have of this name, and if I am ever blessed with a son, this is definitely one of the first names I will consider. Colin Morgan, by the by, plays Merlin in the TV show Merlin (and his personality seems to be remarkably like that of the Collin I grew up with).

I like this name because I like Colin Firth. It's also a strong, masculine-sounding name IMO.

This name reminds me of colon. Not the one you use in writing either. ;)

Sorry to all the Colin's out there, but I honestly can't stand the name! I know a Colin and he's awful! =(

I personally think that the spelling of "Colin" is better with only one L. I think it looks better on paper and it just makes more sense to me.

Seriously, if you want to be called CO-lin spell it COLON. Just so we have no confusion.
