Thoughts on Callie or Aggie?

[Greenlasagne]

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.

I know an Aggie but I can't remember what it's shortened from, she's always Aggie but I assume agatha. I actually quite like it. I'm less keen on Callie, makes me think of Caledonian thistle football team and I think it needs to be a nn for something.

I love Agatha nn Aggie (also live Agnes) and think both would be lovely with Nell

I like Callie, but don't like Callista so wouldn't use it myself as it's too nicknamey for my tastes, but since Dd1 is Nell I'm guessing that doesn't bother you

I think Agnes and Nell go well together. I'm not that on Aggie and although I do Agatha Christie I can't quite see Agatha on a little girl although perhaps its due a revival

I like Maggie but Aggie is so ugly. I don't like Agatha much either, - saint is hanging there in the air before it.

Callie I like a lot more.

Nell is beautiful. Imo Callie is meh, kind of bland and pointless, and Aggie is probably the ugliest female name possible. Agatha is very little better.

Please don't call a child Aggie.
Agony, aggravating. No.

OTOH Nell is the name of of one of my favourite people in the world. Short for Helen.

Aggie is pretty bad but Callie is cute, I prefer it as a nickname though for names like Calliope or Calista

Have you considered Cora?

Calista or Calliope would be nice names which could be shortened to Callie if you did reconstruction having a more formal name for Callie.

How about Nancy? Goes well with Nell. Or Harriet?

Aggie is dreadful. Callie is fine, if a bit bland.

Aggie = Argumentative where I live.
Callie is nice x

Prefer Calista. (Callie) and Agatha.

No to Aggie!

Callie is ok.

I love Agatha (and Agnes) but I would probably go for Taggie, not Aggie.

But if you love Aggie, what does it matter what other people think?

Callie is lovely 💓 and would use Calliope as her full name. I like Aggie too...although I actually prefer Agatha and probably wouldn't shorten that at all, although I'm sure others would.

Aggie goes better with Nell. Nell and Callie sound too similar.

Aggie means grumpy where I live

Really ugly names

Aggie is used as an abbreviation for aggressive or agitated here. It's not a nice sound anyway imo. Callie is a lovely name with a lovely meaning but not sure it sits well with Nell

We were going to have a Calliope shortened to Callie but ended up with a boy.

Don't like Aggie - reminds me of Kim and Aggie and I never even watched the show.

I really like Aggie it's sweet. Nell and Aggie are lovely. Callie is okay makes me think of Kelly which feels quite dated whereas Aggie feels like cool vintage 😍.

Don't like Aggie at all, and I did think of "aggy" (slang/short for "aggravated"). But personally I really dislike Nell too.

Callie is lovely, but I'm not sure how well is goes with Nell.

I don't like either - I don't think Aggie is a nice sound

Callie - I know about 10 dogs called Callie so it's a dog name for me

I love Aggie! Agatha or Agnes are really lovely.

I’m not enamoured with Callie but it’s fine.
