Is [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] a name-nerds kind of name, or do you think it is actually usable? I love the association with the [name_f]Muse[/name_f] of [name_m]Epic[/name_m] [name_f]Poetry[/name_f]. I like the nickname [name_f]Calli[/name_f]/[name_f]Callie[/name_f].
I think it’s usable! I first heard it on the show “[name_u]Grey[/name_u]’s Anatomy,” and so it feels perfectly wearable to me. Uncommon, yet familiar. I like the nicknames [name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Calla[/name_f]! If you’re still unsure, it would make a beautiful middle.
I think it’s usable. The nickname possibitlies of [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] make it feel more grounded
I think it is very usable. The recent spike in popularity suggests that others agree.
I think that, like [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], people once thought it strange and outlandish but the cute and classic nicknames drew appeal and then people began to see it as more normal as it became used more.
Definitely usable in my opinion. It’s a gorgeous name, with a great meaning, association, and doesn’t have anything going against it. It’d make a great name in any spot.
I agree that it’s very usable. It’s not that different from [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] which is in the top 50 now and it has many great nn options. I like [name_f]Calla[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] best
In agreement with most of the other posters on this thread, I think [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is perfectly usable! [name_f]Calli[/name_f] is really cute too.
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is a magnificent name! Sweet, mysterious, musical and girly. The mythological association is great and the name’s meaning is beautiful. [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is definitely usable as a first name, in my opinion. [name_f]Callie[/name_f] is an adorable nickname!
The [name_u]Grey[/name_u]’s Anatomy character - a strong, intelligent, fun and beautiful woman - made me fall in love with this name even more.
I agree that it is usable, especially with the popularity of similar names like [name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. I actually know of a little girl named [name_f]Kalliope[/name_f] who goes my [name_f]Kalli[/name_f].

I adore this name! I think the nn makes it intriguing too like meeting a [name_f]Callie[/name_f] and then finding out that their full name is [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. I’m always fascinated with what peoples full names are, and whether they go by a nickname or just their full name,
