Would you do it?

If I really loved the name I'd do it, but then again the fact the name would have to be pronounced and spelled out would kinda make me not like it as much kwim?

As for Caillou I do like it but you're right Mel, it is hard to come up with an alt spelling. Other variations just don't look right....

I love that name! Ds loves that show...I thought maybe it was Poko or dirtgirl

[Mad Scientist]

I thought Poko too! But that's pretty easy to pronounce lol

Dirtgirl!! Yeah!

So that is your girl name & boy name sorted

As for Caillou, I like it - but what matters is whether you love it. I wouldn't worry so much about other people being able to spell or pronounce it, if you guys love it, then use it.
You could always give him a simpler middle name so he has the choice to use that if it's all too much? I have a friend who did that. But it might not be an issue, besides I ahve seen some really simple names get mangled, it can be an issue no matter what, you know?
