Is that really how she spells her first name? I knew the DuQuesne part ("Don't try to spell it, it's Southern!"), but I'd assumed 'Cally' was short for Caroline or, I dunno, Calliope or something. This may be due in part to reading Middlesex, in which the main character is a girl (later a man) named Cally-short-for-Calliope.

Well, it's how the subtitles were spellling it, and given that her father's name is Kenwood, I wouldn't be surprised. (I tend to watch American shows with subtitles because otherwise I miss some bits. Expecially when either Emily Procter or Jorja Fox are in full flow.)

"Don't try to spell it, it's Southern!"
I bristled a bit when I first heard that line, as it would probably be more accurate to say, "Don't try to spell it, it's French!"
