Thoughts on the name Callie for a girl? Any any suggestions for middle names?

As the title suggests - considering Callie for our baby girl and would be interested to know people’s thoughts & if you know any other Callies?

Also wondering about middle names - I quite like the idea of a one syllable middle names and Rose is my favourite, DH likes Grace - but both are very common so open to alternatives! Thanks in advance!

I'm probably in the minority but I don't like it. Falls in the category of 'names that sound like nicknames' to me - along with Marcie, Marnie, Casey, Nia etc.

Calista nn Callie is right at the top of my list! I think it's gorgeous.

Heh1991 · 21/11/2020 01:15

I like Callie and think Rose/Grace fit with it perfectly. Other one syllable names you could consider:

  • Callie June
  • Callie Anne
  • Callie Wren
  • Callie Faith
  • Callie Eve

Another "love it". My imaginary dd is Calypso Grin

I didn't make the Callie Rose connection, and think it sounds lovely.

Loveatortie · 20/11/2020 21:00

Love the name Callie,i would have Anne or Mae/May for a middle name. Never met a Callie.

CremeEggThief · 20/11/2020 20:48

I don't know any.

Retro, but I'd suggest Callie Marie.

PoodleMoth · 20/11/2020 20:43

I know 1 who is 8. Lovely name!

gracefarrel · 18/11/2020 23:23

Callie Rae
Callie Lou

Callie Hope
Callie Belle

I've loved Callie since Calinda in The Good Wife and would use it in a heartbeat if I wasn't 20 years past childbearing age.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 15/11/2020 22:41

It’s my dog’s name!

Rae34 · 15/11/2020 22:40

Callie Rose

Zoflorabore · 15/11/2020 22:38

My neighbour has a 4 year old Callie. I also know an adult Callie.

It’s not a name I would choose but it’s definitely unusual enough that she will probably be the only one in her class at school and that’s a good thing.

Nell96 · 15/11/2020 20:22

I think it's quite nice, but more as a nn - feels a bit insubstantial as a standalone name. I also prefer Calla.

june2007 · 15/11/2020 19:37

I knew a Calista or calies for short. Prefer the full name. Love Calipso.

IOwnDogsNotFrogs · 15/11/2020 19:35

Love it, would use the full name Callisto.

finallychangedmyusername · 15/11/2020 18:07

I also prefer Calliope or Calista nicknamed to Callie. Various suggestions below:

Calliope Alice
Calliope Rosa
Calliope Zara
Calliope Nia
Calliope Holly

Calista Madeleine
Calista Ellen
Calista Violet
Calista Abigail
Calista Emily

Callie Victoria
Callie Sophia
Callie Matilda
Callie Juliet
Callie Natalia

InFiveMins · 15/11/2020 17:49

I love Callie. I would name her Callie Beth.

littlealexhorne · 15/11/2020 17:21

I love Callie, I'd use just that though personally not one of the longer names suggested by PPs. Both middle name options are lovely too and would work well.

Lotsachocolateplease · 15/11/2020 17:12

Love it!
Callie Faye
Callie Belle
Callie Eve
Callie Anne
Or a longer middle name
Callie Victoria
Callie Joanna
Callie suzanna
Callie Octavia

joneybabe · 14/11/2020 17:57

Callie Rose like from Noughts & Crosses?

Changethetoner · 14/11/2020 17:06

use Caledonia for her full name, go on, it's cool.

daisiesandpeonies · 14/11/2020 16:58

I know some Callie's - but it's a nickname for Callista

MercyBodle · 13/11/2020 22:39

I don't mind Callie but prefer it as a nickname for Calliope, Caroline, or something else.
Callie Grace is a nice combo.
Callie Blythe
Callie Jean
Callie Ruth

rosegoldivy · 13/11/2020 21:55

Firebird83 · 13/11/2020 21:28
