Woo hoo! at 35 weeks we have finally found a first name we both like. [name_f]Calista[/name_f]! Now to decide on a middle. As of right now I am tentatively thinking [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] but I know SO doesn’t like [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], he agreed to make me happy though bc we had such a rough time picking a first name. I like it but could be persuaded to use something different. A few names I really like but don’t want to use as a middle for various reasons are [name_f]Loretta[/name_f], [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], [name_f]Nelle[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Winona[/name_f], and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. Any interesting suggestions?

I love [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]!
Eh, [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is a bit too cutsey for me, sorry. Something simply like [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] would be perfection, but [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is a cheeky guilty combination that I had on my list a while ago. Good luck with the search!
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is cute! But if your SO doesn’t like it I would definitely look elsewhere.

My 2nd favorite name is [name_f]Calista[/name_f]! So excited to see someone use it. My favorite combo is [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], because [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is my mother’s names so it honors, and I flows rather nicely. Other combos I have saved that I like:
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
I would avoid names that start or end with a because they run together or rhyme (ex- [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]).
I love the name [name_f]Calista[/name_f]…but I am not a fan of [name_f]Calista[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]. I agree that it is too cutesy, and it needs something simple and substantial to ground it (it is so romantic!). I liked the following suggestions that other readers made: [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I am sure there are many other possibilities, but I like the idea of contrast – it will really compliment [name_f]Calista[/name_f], and make it stand out.
Thanks for the tips! I will have to look into some of my more grounded names. The trick is getting SO on board. We have very different styles. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] were both names we liked but didn’t sound like “her”. Maybe have to consider them in the middle.
