We’re expecting baby#2 (another little girl!) in [name_u]August[/name_u]. We are both in [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] with big sister [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]'s name, but we are completely stumped on a name for [name_u]Baby[/name_u]#2. I want a name I am completely in love with, just like [name_f]Calla[/name_f], but am struggling to find a name that doesn’t feel “second-best.” We like [name_f]Calla[/name_f] because a) it sounds feminine, b) the meaning “the most beautiful” is special to us (especially when paired with [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], “gift from God”), and c) because it’s unique but not completely unheard of. I really don’t want a name that’s in the top rankings, but I want a beautiful, unique sounding name that has the same ‘feel’ as [name_f]Calla[/name_f]. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Some names we like but aren’t 100% set on are [name_u]Kendall[/name_u], [name_f]Aria[/name_f] (too popular??), [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], and [name_f]Carly[/name_f]. Any help is SUPER appreciated. Thank you!
I love [name_f]Calla[/name_f], absolutely beautiful! From your list, I like [name_f]Aria[/name_f] the best. I actually think it’s probably the least popular of the names you listed, at least in my area. Here are a few more that I think are unique and sweet :

[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
Off your list I love [name_f]Aria[/name_f]. [name_f]Calla[/name_f] is beautiful by the way

I think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is the best fit from your list, but it is a lot more popular than [name_f]Calla[/name_f]. [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] and [name_f]Carly[/name_f] sound a lot more modern in comparison. [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] is nice but a different style to me.

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] was on my list too, but a friend ended up choosing it for her daughter, so we went with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] instead. Here were some others from my list (sorry for duplicates!)
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]

[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Calla[/name_f] sound like an awesome combo to me.
Oh I love the suggestion of [name_f]Lila[/name_f]! Beautiful name AND it’s a sweet name for a little sister - sounds perfect with big sister [name_f]Calla[/name_f]. Big sis [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Lil[/name_f] sis [name_f]Lila[/name_f] 
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] is lovely.
I’ll add (avoiding repeats):
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] /[name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Sanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f] is very sweet and pairs best with [name_f]Calla[/name_f]
Your other options do not feel as similar in style
What about:
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Brenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_u]Sierra[/name_u]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
To me, the names you like just don’t compare to [name_f]Calla[/name_f]! I’ve never even heard of [name_f]Calla[/name_f] under I read this post. You’re seeking out something truly uncommon, feminine, and that holds a good meaning.
[name_f]Suri[/name_f] - meaning: princess
[name_f]Delise[/name_f] - meaning: delight
[name_f]Orli[/name_f] - meaning: light
Good luck!
[name_f]Lalia[/name_f]
Arendelle
[name_u]Maxime[/name_u]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] sound amazing together! 
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Olea[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Elke[/name_f]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosen[/name_f]
If you go with [name_f]Lila[/name_f] or [name_f]Lili[/name_f]…you’ll have a [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]!
I second [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] as it’s a flower, recognizable, yet unique.
But do you want to stay in the plant based family? Or are you more focused on the name rather than connecting it to your eldest daughter (beyond you don’t want to have [name_f]Calla[/name_f] and [name_f]Callie[/name_f] or something like that).
If you want to stick with subtle plant references:
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f] (also, [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] is a cute nickname) - juniper tree
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] - type of flower
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] - violet
Other “recognizable yet not popular” that sound good with [name_f]Calla[/name_f]:
[name_f]Monica[/name_f] - advisor
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - white (though “[name_f]Bee[/name_f]” is a cute nickname)
[name_f]Tara[/name_f] - rocky hill
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - strength (but could have the nickname “[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]”)
[name_f]Danica[/name_f] - morning star
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
Absolutely love [name_f]Calla[/name_f] but there are for sure some options for precious baby #2 that wont sound “second best” - I am sure of it
As I was reading your post these are a few feminine nice pairs to [name_f]Calla[/name_f] that I thought of:
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] or “genny”
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Loraine[/name_f]
[name_f]Karis[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
Especially fond of [name_f]Karis[/name_f] based off its meaning which is love. Really nice paired with a middle name like elizabeth or grace to keep a religious and/or meaningful name route.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f]?
