We will be having a baby Caleb in about one more week. God revealed this name to me years ago when I was reading about Joshua and Caleb in scripture.

what about elijah i think it would go well with noah and caleb.

Caleb- a faithful dog/companion also bold. In the Bible Caleb and Joshua were the only 2 spies that had the bold faith to believe that God will give them the land filled with giants. With the odds stacked against them, Joshua and Caleb remained faithful to God's word. I pray our Caleb owns up to the meaning of his name. That he is faithful to God and bold in living his life for God.
We love our Caleb Anthony!!! By the way, Joshua is our Caleb's older brother and is also a great name!

we love caleb - great name, beautiful little boy!

Caleb: When God brought the animals in front of Adam to name, Adam studied the characteristics of the animal and named them accordingly. I can just hear Adam say,"this is a loyal, whole hearted servant to his master." I have heard that in Hebrew Caleb means whole hearted servant. God put a play on this meaning in Numbers 14:24 where HE said,"But MY servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed ME fully,..." Caleb in the Bible is a Hebrew, read Numbers 13:2"send a man from each of their fathers tribes, every one a leader among them"

My son will be three this month and his name is caleb mason and my husbands name is moses so it was just ment to be, The name fits him well.

We love the name Caleb.

Caleb John David de Villiers was born on Wednesday the 13th of Feb 2008 - 10 days ago in Westville, Durban (South Africa). We wanted to call our boy Caleb because we love the name but also because Caleb was an awesome man in The Bible and stayed faithful to The Lord, even when all others were turning away... What an awesome man to name our little guy after!

My son is 10 yrs old & his name is Caleb Samuel. I have always loved that name & knew if i ever had a son that would be his name.

Hi, my name is Caleb.

I was born on Christmas Eve, I have an older brother named Joshua.

A long time ago, I had read that the Hebrew meaning for Caleb meant courageous or bold. While it was the Arabic translation that meant dog.

I'm not sure, but maybe this comes from when Caleb and Josh went in to the "promised land". Maybe the Arab's considered him to be a dog over the years.

I used to hate the fact that my name meant dog, but it all depends on who's perspective your looking at it from. The Hebrews, or the Arabs.

When I told a friend that my name meant dog, he replied, "If you reverse the letters on dog, it spells God."

Which is just like looking at the word dog from a different perspective.

That's how I look at everyone now. If at first, they don't seem like a good person, try viewing them from a different perspective.

I have a son who is named Zachariah and i think Caleb is cute, not very common, every second child is called Joshua (even tho it is a fab name). A child needs a good solid name compared to the celebrities that think naming a child Apple is cool....more like bananas to me.

this will definately be my son's name- and my friend has a baby Jacob!

Calebs a classic name.
We're loving it.
Bible meaning and sounds good too.
But is it becoming too popular??? dont want ten of them in the class at school or nothing!

I named my son Kaleb almost 9yrs ago when it wasn't as popular and now look and am amazed at how it has grown I am trying to find a name for my next which will be born in June and it is hard not to find one that has popularity and will not grow after you pick it its a hard choice!!! But I love my Kaleb he is defiantly loyal and has a BIG heart I love him and his name!!!

I'm in my 50s and did not even meet another Caleb until I was 16 years old -- that's how uncommon the name was back then. Some would say: "Ooh, I like that name, I'll name my baby that," and then I'd see them months later and the name had been used on the family dog instead -- most appropriate given its origins. Once the nickname "Gaylib" landed on me for a summer, but I quickly moved on to the next town.

Don't get me wrong -- I like my name. It's just less odd nowadays. It used to be the mother screaming "Kayler" in the mall was not calling for paranoid me, but now sometimes she really is reprimanding another Caleb.

A Harvard Divinity student once told me that when the first settlers came to New England, they scoured the Bible looking for odd names to poke fun at the British for their religious beliefs. So names like Caleb and Barachias found their way into usage. I've long wondered if this is true.

I love this name. It's really my top pick for a boy name. But, I changed it up a bit. I spell it Kalyb. Still love this name

My Caleb will be 19 in May, I had never heard of the name before i was watching an old rerun of gunsmoke and heard the name. And i thought what a cool name. Not knowing 18 years later that the name would be so popular.

This is it... I've been looking for a middle name for my baby, just found out today that it's a boy. I'll probably spell it with a 'K', but, for meaning 'like the heart', it's a appropriate. He is our heart! =D

My son's name is Caeleb Josiah. I spelled his name with the extra "e" because I thought it gave just a little extra personality. Besides, growing up with the name "Tracy"--everyone always spelled it "Tracey"--I gave Caeleb the extra "e."

our son is caleb - we're not religious, just love the name. great for a baby, great for a little boy and great for a man. very strong and masculine - love it!
