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

Sorry but it sounds like an illness to me.

Definitely a kitchen utensil.

I like Calina or Callisto/a.

It doesn't appeal to me at all. But then I don't generally like 'inda' names eg Belinda and Melinda. I don't mind Lucinda though. I like Colette and Colleen for some similar sounds.

No. Just no.

It’s a Hindi / Hindu name.
Usually spelled Kalinda
We considered it - Dc part Indian- but rejected it as too close to colander if mispronounced.

I don't like it, sorry - I just think it doesn't look or sounds very pretty.

I also like the name Kalinda, but it's a Sanskrit name. If you aren't from a Hindu culture I think it would be a really odd choice for your baby. (If you are from a Hindu culture then go for it!).

I really don't understand how anyone can confuse the pronunciation! Kolinda is lovely, and different. It's also a bit weird that people don't like others going out of their naming culture - it's like saying if you are from Kenya you can't name your child George or Rebecca.

It’s dead easy to confuse the pronunciation, on first reading it!

It looks like Kolin/Colin. Look again and you can see Linda.

Co-Linda.

Colander.

Kalinda is much nicer

“Lighter sledgehammer” my arse!

PP refers to culture. I love the way Kalinda shut down those questions in early episodes. Pick the name you like OP.
