So I really love Clover, what are similar victorian names but not too "cutsey"

Also really like penelope and elysia so anything similar to that would be great

Thanks!

I have seen Caliope on so many threads and had no idea how it's pronounced. Just looked it up! I never would have considered that the 'i' was pronounced 'eye' despite knowing how to pronounce Hermione - duh! Blush
(Still sounds like cally- oap in my head though)

Always loved Caliope after hearing it in Greys Anatomy. One of the main characters for a number of seasons was called Callie, full name Caliope.
