Callie

Baby due next month eeeek!

My husband and I still have no idea what she’ll be called we literally have a list of about 10 possible names still.

We recently added Callie to that list. On googling it appears to be of green origin and means beautiful which I like - I’m quite big on name meanings.

Just wondered what others thought as it seems so late in the day to start adding new names to the list! But it’s really grown on me the last few days.

Other names we have:
Olivia
Emilia
Sienna
Lily
Lucy
Florence
Francesca
Rosie
Amber

Florence is a real contender but worried it’s too popular atm that all the girls will be called it. Also appreciate a lot of our other names are in the top 20! And part of me wants to avoid that but then again they are nice names!

I have a little girl called Callie-rose 😊

I have taught about 5 Callies (or variation on spelling) over the last 20 years. All lovely girls. Beautiful name. I had it on my list but had 3 boys.

My dog is called Callie but only because it’s a lovely name

I have a little Callie and she’s lovely 😊

Oooh thanks so far glad Callie is liked :) I was worried it was a bit out there, but I think it’s more because it’s just not a top 100 name like the others we have :)

I love the name Callie. Beautiful! So much nicer than the rest of your list.

Callie sounds like a name for a dog.

The rest of your list is pretty good. All are way better than Callie.

Callie is my favourite of your list, it's beautiful.

I think Callie is a lovely name!
(It also makes me think of the character Callie Torres in "Grey's Anatomy".)

I think all the names on your list are lovely!
