Talk:Callum

Proposed merge.
I oppose the proposed merge of Calum and Callum; there are a large number of links on each page, and I think that merging them would make too big a page. bd2412 T 02:42, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Since the proposed did not start a discussion, I'm going to remove the merger tag. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

callum commemorates the latin name columba?
is it not more likely that it's the Scottish rendering of Colm (cille) considering it's pronounced the same way but with an a rather than an o? 77.101.254.90 (talk) 17:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

This article has the spelling backwards
"Calum" is the correct spelling. The article rightly states that this is a Scottish Gaelic name. "Callum" is the anglicised or corrupted version, yet the article is written in a way which suggests this is the proper way to spell it, and that "Calum" is an alternative. I suspect the persistent 'vandalism' is people repeatedly correcting this error. Callum may be a more popular spelling in the English speaking world, but that doesn't make it correct. I would suggest a re-write of the article making this clear. 2A02:C7C:C835:AE00:A5E7:B4BA:44E6:CE70 (talk) 21:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
