Khalil vs. Kalil vs. Calille

We love the name Khalil (pronounced Ka-leel) for a boy! What do you think? It’s traditionally spelled Khalil or Kahlil (it’s Arabic). How would you spell it for a boy in the US? What does the name make you think of? How about middle names? Thanks!

Khalil is the best way to spell it IMO.
Are you looking for Arabic middle names or American?

Not necessarily looking for Arabic middle names (although we do like Amani). We have a Scottish last name - is it odd to have a distinctly Arabic first name with a Scottish last name?? And can we pair Khalil with a very different/non-Arabic middle name?

I like the spelling Khalil the most. I heard it on a young boy on TV once and really liked it. For middles, maybe:

Khalil Josiah

Khalil Brice

Khalil Orion

Khalil Franklin

Khalil Hassan

Khalil Abbas

Khalil Samson

Khalil Henry


Like any? :-)

Khalil Menelaus?

Khalil Anwar, Khalil Preston, or Khalil Grant would all be nice, I think. And I think it’s completely fine to have an Arabic first name and Scottish last name, and his middle doesn’t need to be Arabic. Just whatever you like.

Oh, and I like this spelling (Khalil) the best.
