Callie??

[alotoftutus]

So I just came across the name Callie - I don't think I've ever heard it before but really like it.

Does it sound completely made up? Or is it a proper name?

Could Callie be short for anything?

Thoughts?

Cousins kid is. Calico

Short for Callista, which I also love?

Love it....but only if it is short for Calliope ( a name of divine joy!)

I had a Calico cat called Cally.

If I’d had a daughter then I’d have happily called her Cally / Callie.

Actually I have had two Callie's in my class this year, one was short for Caledonia, and I teach in Scotland... It's definitely a popular (but not over-so) here, and Caledonia is the old Roman name for Scotland.

I like it btw, nice name, easy to spell.

My baby is 12 days old and we loved Hallie for a name but partners nice has a callie so we can't use it. Love both names! My niece was supposed to be a Callie too but ended up coming out a suprise boy 🤣

My DD who is in her 20’s is called Cally - we saw it first as a shortened version of Calandra - which we didn’t like so we just chose Cally as her birth name. She loves her name and all through education even Uni she was the only one registered with that name. Think it’s more popular now though

My friend has one. She's just Callie, not short for anything. I like it.

I know of a Kally. Beautiful name in both the K and C forms.

They’ve been married for years.

There was a Callie / Calliope in Greys Anatomy.

I like it short for Caroline, or Calliope or Calista if you want something more unusual

Grange Hill springs to mind. My daughter had a friend called Callie-may I think is nice and also like Carrie
