Calla? WDYT!!

WDYT of the name [name]Calla[/name] it’s recently growing on me and I wanna know what kind of baby you see it on. Personality and looks!! :slight_smile: I just think [name]Calla[/name] is so sweet and short, feminine without being frilly but is it too trendy sounding?

Let me know all of your opinions on [name]Calla[/name]!

I think [name]Calla[/name] is pretty although I do automatically follow it with [name]Lily[/name]. I think if someone pretty but delicate, more of an introvert but very nice. Maybe someone drawn to art or writing.

I really like [name]Calla[/name] too. I also think of lily after I think the name, but that’s not a bad thing. I think of someone soft and pretty, sweet and quiet.

I really like this name, I didn’t think of [name]Lily[/name], I think it’s a strong name and I like that it’s short. It made me think of [name]Willa[/name] Cather first. If I were to think of someone named [name]Calla[/name], I’d think she were a true individual and friendly but introverted.

I do like it, but I don’t love it only because it reminds me a bit of Calamine lotion.

I like it! I picture someone tall, sweet, and quiet.

It looks pretty as a word, and it’s a very gorgeous flower, but…the name seems very cold to me. It’s awfully close to the words “callous” (like cruel) and “callus” (like on your feet). Saying “[name]Calla[/name]'s [whatever]” only brings this out more.

Also, full disclosure: I know a [name]Calla[/name] who is quite “cold and callous”! She has a well-earned reputation for being insensitive and rude. It’s unfortunate for me personally because I really like the names [name]Caledonia[/name] and [name]Calliope[/name] but the idea they might be shorted to [name]Calla[/name] puts me off them…

On first impression I like it, but I think pp does have a pertinent point on the similar sound to “callous” which turns me off completely.

[name]Calla[/name]'s a stunner! It’s such a striking, unexpected name.
I imagine a [name]Calla[/name] would either be born to creative parents, or be creative herself. I think someone with this name wouldn’t be afraid to stand out in the crowd, or to speak out when she felt it was necessary.

My daughter’s name is [name]Calla[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]. No need to say I think the name is beautiful. My [name]Calla[/name] is blonde with blue eyes, a little bit shy, but she is constantly smiling at everyone (one of my neighbours calls her smiling girl).

I love the name [name]Calla[/name]. It’s so sweet and girly. I also think lily when I hear [name]Calla[/name], but I think the nick name [name]Calla[/name]-[name]Lily[/name] would be sooo sweet!
