It makes me think of Kellan Lutz. The association isn't good, since I don't think Lutz is a talented actor. He's basically just fanservice.

My youngest has a female friend named Kellen. It seems to suit her although I didn't care for it at first. Still, I think the Kellan spelling looks more attractive when I think of Irish names with a similar ending.

It's okay, for a boy only. I prefer Kellan.

I adore Kellan. I know a one year old Kellen who is the cutest. I go back and forth on spelling. I think I prefer Kellan.

I think it's nice, if a bit nondescript. I have a cousin with a 9 year old boy Kellan, and I also went to high school with a female Kellan. I think it's nice on either gender. I think the spelling Kellen looks odd.

It sounds friendly to me, and it's not very common, so I think it's a nice enough name.

About the spelling...
Kellan looks like a compromise between Kelly and Allan. Kellen looks like Ellen with a K. (I prefer Kellan.)

It's the name of one my nephew's - Kellan Jeffrey. It's an okay name, not one I'd use. I prefer the spelling Kellan.

Kellan seems more masculine and Kellen seems more unisex. The name in general pretty average. It's not very common (at least where I live) but it fits right in with common/popular names, both on the trendy side and on the more classic/consistently popular side.

Kilan seems like it is more traditional, but it looks like "Kill Ann". I prefer Kellan.
