Opinions? Spelling? Middle name?

[RubyRainbows]

I recently suggested the name Calista to someone on here - and I have since fallen in love with the name! I can't stop thinking about it!!!

What do you lovely ladies think of the name??

Which spelling do you prefer?

Calista
Callista

Kalista
Kallista

I would use the nickname: Cali, Callie, Kali, or Kallie - Thoughts?

Also, which middle name goes best? (Add't suggestions welcome!)

Calista Juliet
Calista Sophia
Calista Noelle

Thanks!

I love Calista Noelle.... when I typed the name into this reply it automatically gave me the spelling above. I'd stick with that as it's obviously the most widely recognised way of spelling it.
Noelle is just a beautiful name and if you're due near Christmas I think that makes it even more special x x

Agree with Charlie above. Beautiful name and perfect with Noelle

I think that I prefer Callista Noelle as far as middle names go, I like the flow of it x

So no one prefers the "K" spelling? I think I like Calista the best... but I don't love the spelling "Cali" for the nickname. It reminds me of the nickname for California. I prefer it spelled "Kali."

Plus my surname starts with a "Ca" - Similar to Carson. Do you think Calista Carson has weird flow? (or Kalista Carson)

Thanks for all the feedback - greatly appreciated!!!

Hi! My favourite is Calista Noelle, it flows really well and is unusual without being too 'out there'. I prefer the traditional spelling but if you prefer how it looks with a K then I'd go with it xxxx

My little girl is Calista and we call her Callie. Good choice Her middle names are Jasmine Sofia. I like Noelle out of your middle names, I agree with the pp, it flows nicely.

Was everyone (friends & family) happy with her name when you 1st announced it? Does everyone who 1st hears it seem to love it?

I imagine most ppl love it - it's truly a beautiful name!

It also means "most beautiful" everyone said they like it, but I wouldn't have cared if they didn't, I flipping love it!

I just think Calista is the most common spelling, so I prefer it that way. I don't think it would matter if you went with the K option.

I generally just prefer C's in most names, like Catherine over Katherine, and Casey over Kasey, etc.
