I'm not a native English speaker, but I believe the three examples you gave are pronounced the same.
Their about the same.
Kalero simply looks weird since unlike Caleiro it's not recognizably from any linguistic tradition. Also for names people haven't seen before C's give off more positive connotations than K's, this is a well known trick among fantasy authors.
Thank you
Calero > Kalero (you are the third person to tell me that. so that is decided)
When people pronounce Caleiro, it looks like they are having big troubles. Calero still feels latin, but I thought it would be easier to say.
I'm mostly concerned about academic recognizability. Some people manage to be on top while being called Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Lyubuomirsky, or Vilayanur Ramachandran. But it is very hard, and I made mistakes recalling all three. Compare with Hilary Putnam, Steve Pinker, or Daniel Craig.
Gee (G) is my nickname anyway. Calero is easier to recall.
But my friend in Law said I'd have to buy the Judge, you can only switch legally here when 18.
