I think the spelling of Caleb and Kaleb are equally nice, with Caleb being the original spelling and Kaleb looking a bit more modern and trendy.

Just got to say, y'all suck for hating the spelling, Caleb looks so stupid, the K adds much more character. C is lame, my least favorite letter.

As far as spellings go, this one could be way worse. Still, I will always prefer "Caleb"
Kaleb isn't the worst but Caleb is definitely better in my opinion.

I happen to love the spelling as it is more unique than the common spelling Caleb. I named one of my son's Kaleb.

I agree. Kaleb sounds masculine and strong and it's actually my #1 in my list except I'll write it differently to make it a little unique. KHALEB

I love the name Kaleb! Very masculine and strong without being in your face about it. I prefer it spelt with a k, I'm not sure why, I just do. Definitely one of my top 5 boys names.

This spelling is even trashier than the real one and will cease to look cute after age five. Please, choose something else!
