Calla?

As a girls name. I've stumbled across it and interested in opinions

I know someone called "Calla" although it is a nickname that stuck as her little brother couldn't pronounce Catherine. It is very pretty & she suits it

I know a Cali, really suits her - wasn't keen at first, but really like it now.

Don't like it.
Cassia? Much prettier imo.

It sounds like it's shortened from something, to me.
Quite pretty, but I'd ask "Oh, what's that short for?" probably

I quite like it but would assume it was a nickname, e.g. for Caroline.

I've never heard it before. I think I like it, it's pretty

Probably prefer Callie and Calliope though. There's something about Calla that doesn't sound quite finished to my ears.
