Callie

Baby due next month eeeek!

My husband and I still have no idea what she’ll be called we literally have a list of about 10 possible names still.

We recently added Callie to that list. On googling it appears to be of green origin and means beautiful which I like - I’m quite big on name meanings.

Just wondered what others thought as it seems so late in the day to start adding new names to the list! But it’s really grown on me the last few days.

Other names we have:
Olivia
Emilia
Sienna
Lily
Lucy
Florence
Francesca
Rosie
Amber

Florence is a real contender but worried it’s too popular atm that all the girls will be called it. Also appreciate a lot of our other names are in the top 20! And part of me wants to avoid that but then again they are nice names!

By far the nicest on your list imo

Calista, Callista or Callisto (as in the moon).

I live in a tiny close and we have 2
neighbours called Callie ( and are the only ones I know! ) one of them Is mid thirties and the other is 6. I like it.

my favourite from your list is Lucy but I am biased as my dd (12) is Lucy 😊

Love Callie.

Love Callie. And Hallie.

Lily/Olivia/Florence/Sienna are just too common now. They’re everywhere.

I like most of the names on your list, especially Rosie. I’m not so keen on Callie (also really dislike Hallie) - but I’m obviously in the minority! I think it’s nicer as a nickname.

My friend has a Callie, not short for anything. It's lovely.
