Thoughts on Callie or Aggie?

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.

Aggie sounds like she is being aggressive. Or that woman who does the cleaning show. Just no!!!!

What about:

Casey
Polly
Alexa / Lexie
Lilly
Nancy
Maddy / Madeleine
Amy / Aimee
Frankie / Francesca
Billie

???

Callie just makes me think of California.

Goldie?

Aggie means aggressive/rude where I'm from!

Agnes in full or Agatha but shorten it to Taggie in Jilly Cooper fashion. I adore that.

Callie. Aggie is horrid

SingingSands · 13/06/2020 19:27

Aggie is a pretty awful name. I only know one and she's a dog, not a human.

Haffdonga · 13/06/2020 19:36

Aggie is just a hard and harsh sound. It sounds like ugly, naggy and agony. Ag is the noise made when you're gagging, vomiting or screaming - Aggghh!

Callie is lovely. Smile

Love Callie.....but only if it is short for Calliope.
Agatha is lovely, Aggie less so. The second Mrs Campbell- Black in Jilly Cooper's Riders was called Agatha...but Taggie for short. ( must read that book again...I luff Rupert)

Wheresthebiffer2 · 13/06/2020 20:20

Callie is a calm, pretty name.
Aggie - horrid, hag-like, Angry

fantasmasgoria1 · 13/06/2020 20:25

Callie is nice, aggie however is not!

Edwardette · 14/06/2020 12:11

Caggie

Callie if you must, but it really does sound like a nickname. Calliope/Caroline?

I quite like the Swedish name Agnetha (with Annie as a nickname. Not Aggie! There really is not one single nice thing about the name "Aggie.")
