Callie for a girl

[PenguinBear]

Any thoughts?

I love this name and called my ds Calvin so I can call him Cally :)

I love it. Very pretty sounding name.

Reminds me of Grange Hill, can't remember what the character was like though so not sure if that's good or bad

I love it. So much so that it was on our short list for girls names. Only never used it as we have 2 DS's!

My grandmother was called Cal, short for Caroline.

I have a callie she is lovely it's very pretty. A lot of people ex in laws call her Kelly though

Lovely name, good across the life span imo and very pretty

I know a Cally short for Caroline. I like it, prefer your -ie spelling as well.

That is my cat's name.
Although we spell it Kali, Hindu godess of destruction.

It's lovely

I like Callie. Is it a nn or the full name?

I like it.

I used to go to school with a Callie, I always thought it was a really pretty name.

I like Callie, I am partial to a bit of Midsomer Murders though! I always wondered if it was short for anything or a name in its own right?

yes it sounds good, it reminds me of the girl in Follyfoot

I like it!!!

I knew a few on the states but only one over here. I like it.

I know a Callie, short for Calista. I prefer her full name but as a nickname its ok.

I like it but would 100% assume it was short for something. Went to school with a Callie, short for Caroline. I think its a bit like naming a boy Tom or Alfie - lots of people will assume they are short for a longer name, thouh that doesn't make it "bad" its just something to be aware of.

Reminds me of Grange Hill too! She was one of the 'cool' girls.

I remember Follyfoot too - I think the Callie in the tv show / books had Kathleen as her full name.

Reminds me of grange hill too. I would have given anything to be called Callie at the time! Now, I'm not so keen tbh. I think it would be nice as a nn for something though.

Is Calliope a name, or have I made it up? I like it.

It's a name. Do u watch greys anatomy? Callie in that is short for calliope

I love it!

(Very rare of me to think that on here!)

There's a brilliant character in greys anatomy called Callie (Calliope)

Another one to think of Grey's Anatomy, but not in a bad way - I thoroughly adore Calliope 'Callie' Torres.

Agree with previous posters saying people may assume it's short for something, however I know more people who dislike their full name and stick to a shortened version than I do people who wish their short name was actually short for something.
