Calista

[CassandrasCastle]

What do you think?

It's that or Evangeline...

I find both to be very pretty. Only thing that ever so slightly puts me off Calista is the possibility for school kids to tease "Calista blister"

@FenellaMaxwell I was going to say it sounds like something you need cream for, but I think you might have nailed it!

You're right. Still like it, but...oh bum

Callista. Blister. I guess in my Scottish accent I pronounce the end r of blister a bit so it's different, but I'm in England not Scotland so..

Calista blister?! Oh come on, you can rhyme any name with random words! If kids want to tease someone they'll think of anything. If they don't, they won't. Blister isn't even that offensive? Don't pay any attention to that.

Diminutive used for an Evangeline in my last employment - Vag.

Because many kids will not see or be able to pronounce E-Van-ge-line - they'll see E-Vag-line and say Vaglin.

Callista would be more likely pronounced Klister.

Local accents and standards of education/literacy make a difference.
