I think Cady (Katie with a hard D) is an awesome name. Like from Mean Girls. I thought about Cadence nn Cady.

Good luck!

Callie can be a stand-alone name. It could also be short for Calliope (like in Grey’s Anatomy), Callista (like Flockhart), or Carolina.


Callie is not short for Caroline/a. Caro or Carrie are.


Np. I know several Callie's that are Caroline.

What are you, the nickname police? I know 2 Callies whose full names are Caroline. In one case, the parents wanted to name their daughter Callie, but worried it would be too informal so went with Caroline.

Uh, if there’s a way to stretch a nickname beyond the traditional, most obvious choice, to save OP’s daughter from being called or named Caddie, let’s give a little.

I would think either could be a nickname for Caroline. I love that name, but there are so many of them in this area. The ones I know don't use a nn, though, so using one of these nicknames would make it a bit more unique. I love Callie - I had a good friend growing up who went by that. Her full name is Carolyn, which she now uses as an adult. I think the nickname Callie would also work as a nickname for Callista or Calla.

I really like these two names but what are they short for? Or are they stand alone names?

Cadence and Calliope? Unfortunately I don’t like those but am wondering if Caddie and Callie are short for other names as well.
