Reply to: Thoughts on various names by anxiolytics
Callista: Very strongly associated with Ally McBeal. Also now associated with Newt Gingrich's skanky-looking wife who looks like an aging call-girl who married her old rich client.

Catriona/Karina: Catriona is all "Looka me, I'm being all Celtic and stuff! How uncultured you all are not to know the o is silent! Ha ha ha!" Katrina is cute. It is associated with the hurricane, but I don't think it's unusable. I would avoid using it if any siblings have the names of well-known hurricanes: Camille, Isabel, Andrew, etc.

Tressa: Sounds like baby talk for Theresa, maybe. Also like a doll with lots of hair that can be styled and washed. In fact I think there was an old doll called Tressa or Tressie that had that kind of hair.

Saskia: Sounds cold, like gourmet ice cream or a mean Scandinavian exchange student who charms away all the American girls' boyfriends.
