Calliope

[PhuntSox]

Do you think people would get used to the pronounciation? Penelope is accepted and most people seem to have the hang of Hermione.

Absolutely love it. Unusual, classic, mystical, melodic and strong.

Sorry no! It's nasty Greek name that everyone hates (in Greece!). If they love it where you are good luck to you

Why do Greeks hate it so much? I don't understand: it's surely all positive associations!

If it’s pronounced Cal-eye-oh-pee it sounds like you’re saying the alphabet

I think you may need to go back and study the alphabet.

FWIW I did also think of "can I go pee" when I read the pronunciation.

Reminds me of Blinded By The Light

^ Please explain, HateHomework...I'm curious.

Interesting name - I associate it with a navy ship who (as a pp said) took it from Greek mythology.

Whoever is baptised as Calliope in Greece, they change the name to Popi soon after

There is no adult with this name except for nuns!

I really like it!

I think it's horrible. I don't like the sound of Hermione either though.

And unless people have seen Grey's, I'd assume many people will pronounce it cally-ope or cally-oh-pee.

I think it's lovely.

DD is Callie but not short for Calliope. We get lots of "that's unusual but lovely" comments :)

Sorry looks like a variety of melon. .

DiegoMadonna yes thanks I’ll study the alphabet
I think you know I meant it sounds like letters of the alphabet

Urgh! Very ugly name!

No don’t do it!

Name choice is beautiful, I remembered one of the characters in Grey's Anatomy. Maybe she will be a doctor someday. :D
