	*Cally's full name was not known during the first 2 seasons of the series (even though she is a character that has appeared since the opening minutes of the Miniseries), and during this entire time was known simply as "Cally". It was unknown then whether "Cally" was her given name or her surname; many assumed it was her surname and referred to her as "Specialist Cally" (in "[[The Farm]]," Chief Tyrol referred to her as "Specialist Cally"). However, actress Nicki Clyne, who plays Cally, has said she always thought of it as her character's given name. Her full name "Cally Henderson" was used in Season 3 to label props such as her locker, but isn't visible on screen. She took on Chief [[Galen Tyrol]]'s surname after marrying him. After the character's death, Henderson's complete birth name, Callandra, is revealed at her funeral service in "[[Escape Velocity]]".

	*Cally's full name was not known during the first 2 seasons of the series (even though she is a character that has appeared since the opening minutes of the Miniseries), and during this entire time was known simply as "Cally". It was unknown then whether "Cally" was her given name or her surname; many assumed it was her surname and referred to her as "Specialist Cally" (in "[[The Farm]]", Chief Tyrol referred to her as "Specialist Cally"). However, actress Nicki Clyne, who plays Cally, has said she always thought of it as her character's given name. Her full name "Cally Henderson" was used in Season 3 to label props such as her locker, but isn't visible on screen. She took on Chief [[Galen Tyrol]]'s surname after marrying him. After the character's death, Henderson's complete birth name, Callandra, is revealed at her funeral service in "[[Escape Velocity]]".		*Cally's full name was not known during the first 2 seasons of the series (even though she is a character that has appeared since the opening minutes of the Miniseries), and during this entire time was known simply as "Cally".

	*The [[Miniseries]] novelization (which is treated as a [[Battlestar Wiki:Separate continuity\|separate continuity]] source) gives her full name as "[[Jane Cally]]". However this was made up without the input of the BSG writing team, who later decided that Cally was actually her ''first'' name. The novel ''[[Sagittarius Is Bleeding]]'', meanwhile, gives her name as Callista Henderson.		*The [[Miniseries]] novelization (which is treated as a [[Battlestar Wiki:Separate continuity\|separate continuity]] source) gives her full name as "[[Jane Cally]]".
