Calista

[mumofnoahandjacob]

Looking for opinions on Calista?
Is it too unusual to use?
Do you think its a "pretty" name for a girl? That would fit well all through life?
Would it go nicely with Noah and Jacob?
Thank you

I think it's very pretty. Unusual but I know how to spell it.

I think it's pretty. Wasn't the Ally Mcbeal actress called Calista Flockhart? Its quite American but lovely too

Showing my age but I immediately think Calista Flockart (Ally McBeal).

What a lovely name , goes well with the others.

Pretty but not twee. Quite graceful too. I also think Ali Mcbeal. Goes perfectly with your two names.

I like it. I prefer Calla though.

Very nice, and goes well with your boys. It's pretty without being over fussy & suits all ages I think.

Beautiful name!

Unusual is good, there won't be others in her class!

I don’t really like it sorry! I find it really hard to pronounce and just because it’s unusual doesn’t mean people will remember the name. I have already forgotten it just while I was typing this message 🤣

Unusual names for girls that I like are names like “Willa” that have more memorable sounds to them and are easy and straightforward to spell

How is Calista hard to pronounce?

I love it and would remember Calista's name better than say Evie's or Ellie's.

I really like it, but do prefer Calliope, which I think you should consider :) would end up with the same NN for both.

Love it

Calliope?
How do you pronounce that?

@Gummibaerchen1 I’m the total opposite 🤣 names like emma or Evie stick in my head. There’s a lady that lives near to me call “Starr” and honestly I constantly forget her name and think she’s called either “Storm” or “Sunny”. Always have to look it up. My other neighbour is called Claire and I never forget that. Guess everyone’s different!

I find Calista hard to pronounce. It just doesn’t sound like a name to me at all and I find it really forgettable sorry 🙈

Cal ly o pee. Emphasis on the 'ly'.

@midsomermurderess I find it hard to see how that's easier to pronounce that Calista but oh well! Thanks for the info!

Sorry just realised the poster didn't say it was easier to pronounce! Anyway, I think Calista sounds much nicer than Calliope!

How about Kalissa as an alternative. That's pretty too

I prefer Lily Rose.

It is a pretty name. Unusual yet not zany. This is a classy name.

I don’t like it.

I love it. And love Callie or Calla as a NN.

Nice and I like Callie as a nn.

Goes very well with your boys.

Calista is a lovely name. Perfect choice.
