Could I have your thoughts please. I am not sure if I like it or if it is too made up sounding.

I would have thought Cal-eh-na, but there is definitely a potential pronunciation issue... Hmm

Sounds like the name of an artificial sweetener. I like Callie though. Lots of names that could be short for.

Is it pronounced cal-ay-na or cal-Eh-na?

Not keen; it is made up, sounds pretentious but not posh for its effort.

It's ok- it will have same pronoinciation issues as Helena. I like nn callie.
