Thoughts on Callie or Aggie?

They’re not our definitive top two so it’s not one or the other, but I wondered what people thought of both of them? Callie as it is and Agatha shortened to Aggie.

We already have a DD called Nell.

Callie is nice but feels like it should be short for something.

Personally strongly Aggie.

blindmansbluff · 12/06/2020 17:37

I don't think either of those names flow well with Nell.

Aggie is an ugly, witchy name.
Callie is not bad but sounds a bit like a dog's name.

Then again I don't like Nell either!

I think I might have heard Aggie being used as slang for aggressive or aggro?

Callie is better than Agatha but not as great as Nell imo

Love Callie hate Aggie personally

Aggie is terrible, sorry. Callie is OK but I see it as more of a nickname/shortening e.g. for Caroline.

Redbrownbrick · 12/06/2020 17:23

I like both! Also like Agnes..

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 12/06/2020 17:22

Callie is okay. However I think Cassie would be a nicer alternative with Nell.
I'm not a fan of Aggie, sorry.

NewNewt · 12/06/2020 17:21

I love Callie (and have a Calvin who we call Cally!)

Aggie is quite normal up here in Scotland - but I prefer Callie. Would it be short for anything?

Diverseduvet · 12/06/2020 17:20

Aggie? Awful.

Bmidreams · 12/06/2020 17:17

I really wanted an Agnes, but couldn't deal with Aggie.

HelmutShmacker · 12/06/2020 17:17

I absaloutley adore Agatha/Aggie

Not keen on Callie

NuffSaidSam · 12/06/2020 17:16

Aggie is dreadful. Widely used abbreviation/term for aggressive/violent/angry.

Callie is ok.

Love Nell though.

Aggie is horrid.
It’s a very common older woman’s name up here in Scotland and (rightly or not) I associate it with a certain type of woman (a relative of mine included).
I’m sorry, I know it’s your choice,
Callie I like.
