Dd named calais and wondered if anyone had heard it before/opinions (good or bad) on it.
I'd never heard it as a name until oh mentioned it but I love it now

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wanted callie but oh didn't like it so calais was a compromise.

Never heard it as a name....not saying it's bad, but it does conjure up images of asylum seekers at the french port to me

Sorry OP, but me too. Callie works though

Erm, I think OP is saying she has already called her DD Calais.

Never heard it as a name....not saying it's bad, but it does conjure up images of asylum seekers at the french port to me. Would Callie be an alternative option?

Callie FAR better and sound the same. Why would you want to name your child after a rather grim French port? Callie however pretty and unusual. Could be short for Calliope (Greek mythological muse of poetry).
