I just discovered this lovely, lovely Greek name while surfing the site and I was smitten immediately. But I have about one million thousand questions concerning the name that means “lovely flower”. First, do you prefer that or fantastical sister [name]Calanthe[/name]? Which is more likely to be pronounced correctly? [name]Will[/name] it ever be correctly pronounced? Is it usable in my small, conservative naming town? And, most importantly, which two names could ever measure up to the beauty and rarity of [name]Calantha[/name], for her two sisters?
I adore this name, it’s an undiscovered beauty. I can’t imagine too many pronunciation troubles. I do think the [name]Calantha[/name] version is more likely to be prn correctly than [name]Calanthe[/name] (which will be messed up often as cuh-lawnth or cuh-lanth).
For sibling names, I find [name]Amandine[/name], [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Phaedra[/name], [name]Minerva[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Oriana[/name], [name]Alessia[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Amalia[/name].
I’m guessing the pronunciation is cuh-lan-thah? It’s really pretty and the sound seems familiar yet the name itself is unique. I don’t normally care much about meanings but “lovely flower” is a great meaning. I prefer [name]Calantha[/name] since I tend to go for A endings. It’s definitely usable- there aren’t very many names I find unusable actually, mostly just offensive ones. Another gorgeous and rare Greek or [name]Roman[/name] name like [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Demetria[/name] or [name]Minerva[/name] would be lovely in a sibset.
[name]Calantha[/name]'s gorgeous, and more likely to be pronounced correctly imo! I know a little [name]Kalantha[/name], and her sister is [name]Sophia[/name]. My suggestions would be;
