Comments for the name Callie

I love this name. I think it is very sweet and cute. I have a cat named Calico, and her nickname is Callie. But I wouldn't hesitate to use the name for a human.

I know that it is a Celtic name and it means of the forest. Other forms of it in Celtic and Irish are Calli and Callee. It is also used extensively in Hellas (Greece) as a short form of Calliope along with Callia.

Actually, the Irish and Scots Gaelic word for forest is "coille" (KUH-la) and I don't know of any word in the other Celtic languages (Manx, Welsh, Breton, or Cornish) that resemble the name. The old Irish form would be "caill" and the old Celtic word would be "kaldet".

My sister's name is Callie (a nickname for Caroline.) It is a very sweet name, and can be used as a diminutive for lots of things.

My niece's name is Callie, which fits her perfectly because she is beautiful.

I had a cat named Callie, but anyways the name Callie reminds me of cute little girls.

Such a pretty name and very sweet. Can also be spelled Kallie - a good nickname for Kathleen.

I like this name, in fact I think it's great, but to me, it will always be the name of a very evil monkey.

I think it is a really cute name!

No offense, it's a great name but when I saw the name in Nancy I thought it was pronounced Sally and I thought of it as a hideous name. But now I know it's Kelly (or pronounced that way) and I think it's great.

My daughter is named Catherine Louise and we call her Callie.

It can also be spelled Calie like mine, though people are always misspelling or mispronunicating it. It's supposed to go that the people who moved from northern Ireland to southern Ireland were called calies by the original southern Irish.

My middle name is Callahan. I think it's a sweet, girly name, and it's certainly much more interesting than my first name, Rachel. Though it does get me a lot of questions. ^___^

Callie Vernon is the name of a character in Cecily von Ziegesar's series "The It Girl".

I like the name Callie. It's a nice girl name that's not used too much. But everyone I know with this name spells it "Cali".

In Grey's Anatomy, this is the name of one of the doctors. It is short for the name Calliope.

Callie Shawl is a character in the Hardy Boys books, she is Frank's girlfriend.

My name is Callie - though it's not short for anything. My nickname is Calico, which I think is a bit funny since someone else said their cat's name is Calico, nickname Callie.

I really like my name because it's pretty unique, though I do get a bit tired of people spelling it wrong or mispronouncing it.

Also, I think that "Callie" alone is Greek and means "beautiful".

I used to know a Kalli in school. I bet it's a variant of this name. This name is nice.

I think of California every time I see this name.

I love this name, but I would spell it 'Calee' or 'Callee' because I would use it as a nickname for 'Caledonia' - another name that I love.

Very cute, though rather infantile. I also have a stuffed sea lion named Callie, short for California, where I got it.

Cute. My friends sometimes call me Callie, short for calculator, because I'm good at math.

I was named this gorgeous name, although my Mother and I spell it differently. The name on my birth certificate reads "Calley", although I spell it "Cali". I really do love my name, it isn't often you find someone with this name. This name is very beautiful, and sort of rolls of the tongue! I'm very proud to be a Calley/Callie/Cali!

Callie might also be a nickname for either Calypso or Calypsa. I love this name. I think it can also be used for males, even though less common.

Callie can also be used as a nickname for Calanthe, a Greek name meaning ''most beautiful.''

I know two girls with this name, one of which spells her name "Kallai" (highly don't recommend that spelling). This name is too similar to Kelly and Kaylee.

Also the main character in Patricia McCormick's book "Cut" is named Callie.

I think Callie is an adorable and beautiful name! I used to hate it but now it's my 3rd favorite girl's name and I'd use it in a heartbeat. It goes well with a lot of middle names, too, and isn't too crazy popular. Callie is a great choice for your daughter!

I LOVE the Callie I know! She is quiet and nice!

Sounds so childish, but it's been used for over 200 years... I'll never get this. I want to meet an old lady named Callie now!
