User Comments about the name Kali
Comment left Aug 17, 2008: "This is my name....pronounced kaylee. It used to bother me that everyone pronounced it Callie but i would just correct them and tell them that my parents couldn't spell. I love my name and the way it is spelled. It's short and sweet and unique. All other Kalis that I know spell it kaylee and I'm glad to have it the shorter way. My only regret is that i was also given a 'different' middle name; Roenne. I have come to love both." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 02, 2008: "my name is Kali, shortened from kalyani very early on, around 13, Kali became the name used in schools/college/friends/work/pretty/partners, much the most important aspects of my life. I'm now 34, after 20 years, a full adventure packed life, making friends all around the world, and It's with Kali that I'm now gaining recognition. Although people tend to pronounce it wrong, thats a pain, and some old folks told me, it is too aggressive ( like the goddess), but Kali seems to be working for me, it's how I was ever known in all the important aspects of my life, all my achievements and failures, and now with much positive recognition...and it keeps me young spirited."

Comment left Jul 03, 2008: "My real name is Klaudia. I live in Hungary. Actually I hate my long real name, since I learned talk, I've called myself as Kali (firstly Baby Kali, 'cuz I was only 2-3 years old, but now I'm just Kali)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 30, 2008: "Named my daughter Kali.
Pronounced Kall-ee, like LL Cool Js song
I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali -" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 26, 2008: "It is my daughter's name and we love it. She is almost 3. Not everyone pronounces it correctly but she already corrects the ones that do it incorrectly. Every baby book I have found pronounces it as it is spelled, Kah-lee. I have run across one other person, teenager, with her name and she pronounces it has Kay-lee. Whereas it is frustrating to go into a doctor's office and hear her name pronounced incorrectly, I wouldn't change it if I had the chance." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 13, 2008: "My neice, Haley, was going to be named Cali (pro> Callie). I am really glad they named her Haley instead because both my sister and I hated that name, especially since we live in a farming area. Cali is more suited for the beach type person." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 07, 2008: "My 8-yr-old stepdaughter is a Kali and a lot of people pronounce it wrong. I explained to my husband that it should be pronounced Kay-lee since there is only one "l" in it, if you use the rules of the English language. Hadn't heard about the goddess at the time, but did about a year later. There's a girl down the street about the same age with the same Kali spelling and pronunciation, surprisingly. I would much rather give a child a name that people can pronounce correctly, and that they can find on pencils and those little bicycle license plates and stuff like that." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 31, 2008: "Hahaha...this is my name! (Pronounced like Callie) I didn't know so many people shared my name, because I have never met anyone with it. I'm 16 years old. I love my name and always have!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 28, 2008: "I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I absolutly love the name kali, are last name is bell and I told a few people at work about nameing her kali and they say she might be called cow bell. It's really frusterating beacause I love that name. what do u think?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 16, 2007: "I love the name Kali! It's short and sweet.
My sister pronounces it "Cali," but often gets "Kay-lee" instead. A lot of people spell it wrong, but that's okay, since it's a newer name.
She's met a few other people with the name, which surprises me." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 14, 2007: "I love the name Kali! My daughter's name is Kali, and she's 3." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 06, 2007: "I am a Kali also. I just answer to anything that sounds close to it because no one can pronounce 4 simple letters. It's unique, and I love it. Especially because my personality is the complete opposite of it's meaning." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 13, 2007: "My name is Karly, but associate my name with Kali. I would love to be named after a goddess, and i think of Kali as mine." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 23, 2006: "When I was a kid I read this name as "Kaylee."
Then in college I learned about the Indian fire goddess Kali, and that's pronounced "KAH-lee." Read about the Indian Kali and you may not want your daughter named after this, although I think it's cool anyway! Cute name! I named my baby doll this when I was 9." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 18, 2006: "I'm a Kali (Kaylee) from the 70's and oddly enough a childhood neighbor's best friend had the same spelling and pronounciation. I've never met any others that have both in common. I'm always being told "my niece is named..." but they always spell it different...As a child I wanted to change my name because it was too hard for people, but as an adult I'm very happy that I kept it!!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 14, 2006: "This is my daughters name and everyone pronounces it wrong. If I had to do it over again I would have spelled it Kallie or Kalli." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 24, 2006: "my nemisis is named kali!people often call her kal-e." (Report as inappropriate)
