Thoughts on the name Callie for a girl? Any any suggestions for middle names?

[dellarossa]

As the title suggests - considering Callie for our baby girl and would be interested to know people’s thoughts & if you know any other Callies?

Also wondering about middle names - I quite like the idea of a one syllable middle names and Rose is my favourite, DH likes Grace - but both are very common so open to alternatives! Thanks in advance!

I like Callie. And I wouldn't worry about how popular the middle name is, because once the birth announcements are over, a middle name is barely used ime.
Grace and Rose both sound nice with Callie.

I really love Callie.
I only know of one and I think she uses it as a nickname (possibly for Caroline)

I love Callie but I do always think of TuPac singing ‘Shake it Cali’

I love it. I've met one Callie (who is a child same age as dd2, 8) ever.

I like it. My friend has a daughter called Callie, her MN is Elizabeth but I think that’s a family name.

I know a Kaleigh and a Cali, lovely name!

I would have Callie as a shortened form of Caroline. I knew a Greek called Kaliopea and she was Kalia for short, which sounds more like a proper name.

I know of a Callie which is short for Caliope (think I've got the spelling right), it's a Greek name I think.

I like Callie. Personally I'd use it as a nn for Calista but it's ok as a stand alone name.
How about:
Callie Margot
Callie Sarah
Callie Beatrice
Callie Francesca
Callie Georgia
Callie Georgina
Callie Iris
Callie Josephine
Callie Tabitha

I love it but it reminds me of the cat on paw patrol too :)

I wanted it for dc2 but dh said no because we leave near Glasgow and GCU gets called Caly. I do love it and would have used it regardless but ended up having ds

Live near Glasgow

Callie Rose is lovely but the name of a character from the Noughts & Crosses series so might think it's book related?

Love the name, as I have a Callie! Her real is Caroline. Callie often gets shortened to Cal by us and her best friend. I know another adult Caroline and she is known as Caz.

Middle names yu could consider Mary, Rose, Jane, Leah. We chose a short middle name.

A friends child is Callie, short for Caliope.

I have a colleague called Cally and I’ve always thought it was a lovely name- apparently it’s after a Dr Who character (so she says)!

I also know a black lab with the same name which is after a minor Scottish lock- but for some reason it doesn’t seem odd to me that it’s both a person and a dog name.

Anyway I think it’s very nice. Have you thought about using family surnames as a middle name? Both DH and I have (great)grandmother’s maiden names as middle names which I like as it makes them a bit unusual.

Loch not lock - autocorrect! 🤦‍♀️

I would assume short for Caliope which is a lovely name.

Two Ls!

Please call her Calliope....superb name.

I have a friend named Callie Grace. Beautiful name!

I've only ever heard of one callie she was a contestant on love Island but it's a lovely name for a baby. I have to say grace was the first one that came to me for a middle name. There's also Claire, Anna or Rowan as middle names depends on your surname what will work best.

Love Callie, especially as a nn for Caroline/a, Charlotte or Calista. Maybe consider using family or close friends names for the middle name?

Prefer the Greek name calliope -> nn Callie
Or Calliroe , Callista, Callipso

Callie Grace would be lovely.
