Calla is lovely. Callie is a lovely nn.

Willa sounds like Willy round me.

I really like Callie

Neither is great. Willa is the least pleasant of the two.

My best mate is extremely Yorkshire and Willa is how she would pronounce a certain male body part.

Calla means shut up in Spanish. (Pronounced "K-eye-a")

Calla

I knew a gorgeous little Willa in the US but here I think it is just too close to willy. Overall I would prefer it of the two but depends what you think about the association.

Calla is lovely and elegant though.

Calla
Think you’d get Willa or won’t I sorry

Calla, because Willa has obvious nicknames.
