Looking for ways to get to [name]Callie[/name] other than [name]Calliope[/name]. Any ideas?

I have a family member named [name]Callan[/name], she goes by [name]Callie[/name]. I also babysat for a [name]Caroline[/name] years ago who went by [name]Callie[/name].

I know a girl named [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Allison[/name] who.goes by [name]Callie[/name].

[name]Caroline[/name] is the most classic/typical I think.

[name]Calanthe[/name] is a personal favourite.

[name]Calandra[/name] is kind of nice.

[name]Calista[/name] and [name]Calixta[/name] are both pleasant.

[name]Calico[/name] is a guilty pleasure, I don’t know if I’d use it in real life.

[name]Calla[/name] is not my favourite botanical but I’ve seen it used.

[name]Callie[/name] from [name]Camille[/name] seems plausible but I’ve never actually been a huge fan of [name]Camille[/name], I prefer [name]Camellia[/name].

My friend has always said she wants to name her first child [name]Callahan[/name]… nn [name]Callie[/name] if she is a girl, or [name]Cal[/name] if he is a boy.

Besides the ones mentioned (I love [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Calista[/name]!), what about:

[name]Calypso[/name]
[name]Callisto[/name]
[name]Calandra[/name]
[name]Calantha[/name]/[name]Calanthe[/name]
[name]Calais[/name] (cah-[name]LAY[/name])

I’ve also come across the smoosh Caliana, as well. [name]Calista[/name]/[name]Callisto[/name] are my favorites, personally, besides [name]Caroline[/name]/a.

[name]Callie[/name] on it’s own is beautiful.
