Callie as stand alone name?

SoleilMoon · May 2013

Man we are so stuck on girl names! DH does not like calliope or calista at all, but he likes Callie. I think it's growing on me and isn't so baby girl like some other ie or y ending names... WDYT?

I think most on here will prefer a longer or more formal name but I think it's fine by itself. I really like callie!

Agreed!

While I do prefer Calliope, I also like the name Cali (this spelling) as a stand alone.

I would prefer Calla (as in Calla lilies), nickname Callie.

Calla is cute too, thanks.

I have a cousin Callie, her real name is Caroline

cute nickname, solid name for an adult.

I personally think it screams nick name.

Do you like Calista or Calliope?

Yes I do, but DH hates them both.

I agree.

My friend's daughter is just Callie. On one hand, it's cute. On the other hand...it's cute.

I'm not sure it will age well.

They almost named her Calla Lily.

I think this. Wouldn't have thought of Caroline.

I think it can be a stand alone name. I know an adult Callie and I think it's fine.

TarHeels&Rebels · May 2013

I know two adult Callies. If they have other formal names, I've never heard them. They're just your average nice everyday people - one's a nutritionist and one's a bank teller.

I like it for a little girl, but not so much for an adult. My dog's name is Tally, so it reminds me of her name. haha

Bexx24 · May 2013

I prefer it as a nn to Caroline or Calla, but I do know a stand alone Cali (this spelling)
She's only 3 though...not sure how it will age.

I definitely think of it as a stand alone name. Much less stuffy that Calista or Calliope in my opinion. I know 2 Callie's IRL. One just turned 2 and the other is in her early 30's.

I think it no different than Molly which is a widely accepted stand alone.
