What do you think of Calista?

[busymummy3]

What do you think of Calista as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

What does everyone think of the girls name CALISTA wHAT SORT OF GIRL WILL SHE GROW UP TO BE ?

Sounds like a Fanjo disease.

I love it - considered it for dd3....

I think it's very pretty. Cal is an amazing nickname. I think it could go either way - very feminine and delicate or rather cool and sophisticated.

We have DNeice called Callista (in US). No-one ever associates her with Zeus' love, but everyone says 'oooh, is she called after Callista Flockhart' and the connotations for me are ditzy/fey and slightly ridiculous.

Why not try Callisto, or if you like the Greek theme:

Artemis
Demeter
Hebe

I prefer Calliope

I met a Calistus yesterday who was a guy.....it struck me as being a brilliant boys name.....Cal for a boys NN is seriously good....

Calista is nice too... Callie for NN

actually i think he was a CALLISTUS.....

I love Callista, but then I was obsessed with Jupiter at one point and it's the only name of it's moons that suits a person (baby Ganymede anybody?)

I used to like it, but it's the name of a fertility monitor too, which puts me off.

Woops, actually Callisto, but that was my immediate thought on Callista

cally on greys anatomy is a callista its a pretty name

the more i think about this name the surer i am that it will make it onto my list for future DC.....

Callista, sooo pretty.

definitely with double LL tho....

Very nice. I like Cosima too.

it reminds me of that scrawny bird with the rubbery face from Ally McBeal.

Gorgeous.
