Callie

Callie is an English girl's name and a shortened form of Caroline, Calliope, Callista, and other monikers that start with Cal. The French feminine form of Charles, Caroline derives from Karl, a Germanic title meaning "free man" or "army." One for a kiddo who motivates others with their authenticity and inner strength, Callie will encourage your child to make being kind a trend! From Calliope and Callista, Callie earns the Greek definitions of "beautiful voice" and "most beautiful," reminding your little one just how much joy it brings you to see them do what they love. Though sometimes considered a nickname, Callie makes a wonderful standalone title, as The Bump community member HopingforChange asserts, "I think Callie is lovely as a standalone name! I'm a big fan of naming kids what you want them to be called." Whether they're a Caroline, Calliope, or simply Callie, your tiny tot will fit their name perfectly.
