Sweet and sunny but substantial too, Callie is a nickname-style choice that has long been used as a stand-alone option . Traditionally a diminutive of classic Caroline, it may also be used for Calliope, Camila, Callista, Calanthe, and beyond.
 
Callie was a Top 200 choice in the late 19th century and remained in the US Top 1000 right up until the 50s. After a brief hiatus, it returned in the 70s, and has risen slowly but steadily back to the Top 200 in recent years. Also popular in England and Wales, Australia, and Scotland, a recent year saw it given to 1700 babies in the US.
 
As a short form of Caroline, Callie would mean "free man"; from Calliope, it would mean "beautiful voice". The Greek element kallos means "beauty", which could provide a simple meaning. 
 
Other spellings include Kali, Cali, and Kallie, which all rank in the US charts, while spin-offs include Caliana and Kaliyah.

Like Ashley before it, on-trend Everly has been followed by a range of spelling variants, and among them, Everleigh is the most popular. 
Opinions are divided as to whether the "-leigh" ending makes the name more distinctive, contemporary, and stand-out, or whether it just looks clunky and more complicated, but enough parents prefer that it has joined Everly in the US Top 100. 
Given to nearly 3000 girls every year, Everleigh derives from an Old English place name, meaning "wild boar in a woodland clearing." 
Actor Cam Gigandet, who starred in "The O.C." and "Reckless" was ahead of the trend when he used Eveleigh for his daughter in 2009, but it took Channing Tatum naming his daughter Everly in 2013 for Everleigh to gain any real traction. 
Following in Everly’s footsteps, it did climb the charts, and its popularity was perhaps boosted by the YouTubers, the LaBrants, and their daughter Everleigh. 
Rising up the charts in Canada and the UK, Everleigh is now a familiar and well-established spelling option for the name. 
Though it is only just in the Top 100 and nowhere near as popular as Olivia or Emma, it is worth remembering that when all the Everly variations are put together, it starts to feel more like a Top 20 name, in line with Harper or Sofia. 
So if you do love Everleigh but were aiming to be a bit more unique by choosing this spelling, you could consider the alternatives: Elowen, Waverly, Leighton, Oakley, Haven, or Keeley.
