Callista, Liliana, Marina or Mara...

[CatLoaf]

I don't even know the sex of my baby yet, but seem to think I'm having a girl. 🙊 (Surname begins with M)

What do you think of these names? Fire away, I am prepared! <girls loins>

*sexual organs 😅

Me too!

Calista is beautiful - but I'd spell it with one L , especially since the most famous bearer (Flockhart) spells it that way and people will likely assume. Can still use Callie as a nn with no problems imo.

Liliana a bit frilly even for me, I much prefer elegant, international Lilia (also seems more your style if you like international Marina?) Lilias is not so much my cup of tea, but I don't think it's horrible - although names ending in "as" always feel masculine to me (Tobias, Elias, Lucas etc)

Marina - gorgeous Shakespearean beauty, Mina is a lovely nn.

Mara - A bit quirky and so slightly different in style to the others but I really like it (and also think the "meaning" is unimportant personally - but then I love names like Claudia and Cecilia too and they don't have great supposed meanings either!)

Really hard to pick - but I'd probably swing towards Lilia as I just love -ia ending names.

You might also like Antonia, with the nn Anya or Nina? Or Cassia with nn Cassie? (I did warn you I like -ia ending names )

Slightly prefer Callisto to Callista but both are lovely and uncommon without being unpronounceable.

I like Callista. It's classy. Not keen on the others. Liliana seems unnecessarily fussy and Lilian sounds like someone who props up the bar in the Rovers Return, so that's a no from me.
