Calista - too Gingrich?

Thoughts on the name [name]Cal/nameista? It’s beautiful but I’ve heard lots of hate for [name]Callista[/name] Gingrich (not trying to get all political here, I barely know who she is haha, I just know lots of people think it’s an unsavory reference) and I’m worried that taints the image of the name. What do you think of it (nickname [name]Callie[/name]?) and do you think it would be well-received?

Def too Gingrich to me. But I lived in [name]Atlanta[/name] for 16 years.

Also, much too Flockhart for me too!

Well, I will admit I am not terribly political, but I have never heard of [name]Calista[/name] Ginrich. [name]Calista[/name] Flockhart is my only popular reference for the name. [name]How[/name] many of the child’s friends will even have heard of these two people? I think [name]Calista[/name] is a beautiful name.

I second this.

Phew! Very relieving.

I agree, I love the name [name]Calista[/name]!

I have no idea who [name]Callista[/name] Gingrich is. [name]Newt[/name]'s wife? I agree the only popular [name]Calista[/name] I think of is [name]Calista[/name] Flockheart

Yes, she’s [name]Newt[/name]'s wife. I follow politics quite a bit but I never would have made the reference. The only [name]Calista[/name] I think of when I hear the name is Flockhart. I honestly doubt you’d get many, if any, “Like Gingrich?” comments.

Yes, too [name]Calista[/name] Gingrich and too [name]Calista[/name] Flockhart. The name will always be a celebrity/political name to me. Whenever i hear it, I immediately think of [name]Calista[/name] Flockhart, then [name]Calista[/name] Gingrich
