Baby Name :)

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I *think* Warren and I may have eventually agreed on names for Baby Girl.....


Callista Shannon

(Calli for short)

I feel so happy that we have eventually found a combination that we both like - I loved Raewyn Jade, but Warren didn't like it!!

I think its beautiful!!!!!

[Laura's Babies]

Great that you agreed on a name.. Good choice!

[Barbara]

To me it sounds like a book title:

Ally, Calli and Connor

[Karen]

Lovely name, and it goes nicely with your one-syllable last name.

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Very pretty name

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Of course there are still 3 months for Warren to change his mind (AGAIN), but I really really love it, so I hope it " sticks"

[Samantha Puppy]

Very pretty!

[Cataholic]

What a beautiful sounding name!

[Edwina's Secretary]

I love it! Yes...it can be youthful and professional. And I think Shannon is terrific too. (There was a Shannon at the Thanksgiving dinner we attend. But she is about my age.... )

[Karen]

I agree with the Callista-Calli comments. I have worked with two women who were named the shorter version - or nickname - instead of the "full" name. Both Kate and Cami were constantly asked what their "real name" was, in Cami's case, both her parents liked the nickname Cami, but not any of the longer names it came from, so Cami she is. But it does cause questions everywhere she goes.

I think the name is beautiful. I also like "Calli" as a nickname.

My 2 cents on the whole nickname thing--as long as it is related to the longer name, that's great. Just don't randomly give your child a nickname that is completely unrelated to their given name. I've been having to explain that all my life.
