Clara and Callie?

[LuciferTheCat]

Got an Oliver, Clara and Jacob already, and i’m due a girl in October. Me and DH both love Callie but I don’t think it goes with Clara.

I think it goes with the other names nicely but i think Callie and Clara is too much of a mouthful? My youngest atm is Jacob so it’s not as if i would say Clara and Callie together iyswim, it would be Oliver, Clara, Jacob and Callie to be in age order.

Would it be okay or would people judge?

I think it’s fine.
Especially when they’re older and they’ve all moved out, how often will you be saying the two names together like that anyway?

I don't think it really goes with your other names.

^Agree with user. It's a very different style. And it's a bit of a non-name, tbh - sounds like a shortening, but it's unclear what for,.

You asked about judging - I'd think she got a raw deal compared to her siblings, tbh.

I don’t think others will judge but it’ll be hard enough for her to have a new sister without losing a bit of special identity with the initial and sounds. Plus the other 3 have lovely classic names whereas Callie isn’t really a name.

I'd be worried about the mail, with both being Miss C Surname. It could get very annoying for the girls.

Every Callie I've ever known has been a liud mouth.

It isn't as nice, or classic as your other names.

What about something similar, Carrie, or the full name, Callista and you go with the NN Callie?

The names don't have to go together. You're an Adult longer than you are a child and that's when what your name is, really matters.

I agree about the post and about it being s different style to your other names and is there a law about kids names matching, and There’s nothing stopping you from spelling it Kallie.

It's absolutely fine.

To the Shayne Silvers fans out there ex - Callie - bur. Excellent name. Also Clara the doctor's companion. Popular fiction names are awesome. Oliver Queen. Jacob Black.

Thanks for the replies. I’m seeing it from different perspectives now. Callie is out of the picture and it’s back to the drawing board then. Thanks again for the replies

Have you got other choices in mind?

Do you think Madeleine would be a better choice? We also both love that name.

I love that name!

Madeleine really goes well with the others and I think feels like a strong name in its own right. Lovely names.

Yes definitely Madeleine!! Beautiful!

Madeleine is perfect.

I think too similar. How about Hallie? Or Madeleine works well with the others.

Madeleine is perfect

Madeleine is lovely.

With Callie I’d worry that people will hear Kelly.

Madeleine is beautiful & a lovely contrast to Clara

Another vote for Madeleine!!

I love the name Callie, just think it’s too similar to Clara sound and what PP said about post is a good point. Also with what you said about birth order, if you were doing something with the girls you’d be saying Clara and Callie a lot.

Madeleine is beautiful though, good choice
