Thoughts on Kolinda? Middle name would probably be Belle. Smile

To strain pasta in - yes. To name my baby - no.

@Moominfan there's a French folk song about a girl named Colinda/Kolinda, and it's also the first name of the President of Croatia. It appears to be a form of Colleen (but I don't like Colleen much)

@Tish008 the stress is on the "lin" syllable, like Melinda or Belinda

Ooh what about calista?

iknowimcoming · 04/08/2019 16:33

No don't like it either sorry - it's a bit too much like changing letters slightly to make it sound cooler for me. I like Kalinda or Calinda tho although very similar to calendar

What are the origins of the name? Never heard it before.

Knitclubchatter · 04/08/2019 16:31

Koala bear?

Tish008 · 04/08/2019 16:31

Sorry its a no from me.

How would you say that, like collinder? The sieve like kitchen thing?

No

Kalindi or Kalinda are much better.

Your version is too close to colon/colander
