    Rouge - do you like it cos it starts with the same letters as your real name?

    Nik - I wonder if I could do a search for like the top 100 names in canada or something.. do they have those lists like they do here in aus?

    Well maybe. But mostly because it's french, but sounds like something from a fantasy novel when screaming it out

    I love it! But then I love French names (obviously). Kids learn to spell their own name so I would spell it the way that you want to. FWIW Genevieve can write her own name at 4 and has no problems spelling it.

    It looks French so even if people don't know how to pronounce it from seeing it they would probably ask.

    Oops- I always pronounce it Cal-oo! We don't watch the show much though and now you mention it I do remember the little boy being ky-you. I don't think it would be hard at all to remember if I knew a Caillou though.

    Yep, I agree with others - we are always helping people with spelling or saying my kids names. It doesn't matter how simple. You may as well be spelling a name you really like if you have to keep spelling it and saying it for people

    I have the song stuck in my head now...

    Think the problem may come from so many people changing the spelling of 'easy' or 'normal' names - I got asked to spell CHARLOTTE - TWICE -= yesterday One of the women said to me 'well, you never know these days do you'... lol
