Callia

How would you pronounce this name and what do you think about it? Thanks

Also does it sound a bit... Callous.

Where did you find it? Did you invent it?

To me it sounds rather harsh and yes, made up. Celia is similar but sounds nicer to me.

::am old fogey::

Didn't make up, found it while going through baby name site.

I like the prn cah leah but don't think this is correct

Maudant, Celia sounds a bit wet. Sorry to all Celias out there...

I would pronounce it your way - Car-lia.

Love it.

How about Thalia instead?

I like it. I would pronounce it Cal(as is Callum)-ea.

I'm happy to be in a minority here.

I'd pronounce it Carl-ia but have never heard and wonder what it's origins are? Possibly depends where in the country you're from. I'm a southerner so use a long 'a', whereas a northerner may say Caal-ia

How do you feel about Calista, Clarissa or Clara?

Calla (the lily) is lovely. Callia looks like an error to me.

It sounds quite hard if you pronounce it with a short 'a' sound, like Callum. Better if pronounced Cah-lia. Although, same as Maudant, I prefer Celia. But I'm an old fogey too ;)

Calista sounds to be a bit like blister but Clarissa and Clara are lovely

I have a Callia pronounced Cal leah it's Greek meaning beautiful voice.

I prefer cal-Leah to carlia.

My niece is Callia pronounced Cal-leah
