Calla?

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

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.

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

No, it's not very nice...

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

I love it.... Hubby vetoed it Angry

Gas?

FarrowandBallAche · 03/04/2016 21:37

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

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

DramaAlpaca · 03/04/2016 19:10

I think I like it.

SmallBee · 03/04/2016 19:03

I know someone called Calliope, lovely name.

Magpie18 · 03/04/2016 19:01

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

Like it. Type of lily.
