Calla
Does anyone like this name? It's really growing on me, but I'm having trouble come up with a middle name and potential sibsets.

I think this name is alright, but i prefer Calli. (which could be spelled Kalli or Cali as well.) A good middle name for Calla would be Jane.***(LjSgRl73)***

I used to adore this name. I still like it but it has more of a trendy feel to me now. :-/ I used to know sisters named Anja (AHN-yah) Maria and Calla Elizabeth. Their mother said they got Calla's name from The Gummy Bears cartoon tv show (anyone remember that?) and also from the song from Mary Poppins--superCALLAfrajulisticexpeealladocious. Or however the hell you spell it. :) I thought that was cute, lol. And they are such a sweet family and gorgeous little girls, so I have good associations with the name Calla. BTW, one of my favorite combos used to be Calla Justine.

Haha, I remember the Gummy Bears! The funny thing is, I've liked the name Calla for a few months now, after I met a little girl with the name (before that I honestly had never heard the name). And then a few weeks ago, my friends and I were talking about shows we used to watch when we were little. I reeled off a bunch of them, but there was one show I couldn't recall the name of. All I could actually remember was an image of a castle, and I was pretty sure there was a blonde haired character in the show. So I researched it online, and realized it was the Gummy Bears. And the character I vaguely remembered ended up being Princess Calla! So I guess I have heard the name before, but I just couldn't remember it :) Maybe that was a sign that I'm supposed to use this name :)

Calla sounds pretty good to me.
Cassandra is a good middle name, but I can't think of any sibsets either.*Firefly Light*

I really like Calla. I have a hard time finding middle names for it too, since it kinda sounds like it's missing something without the "lily" part. My favorites so far:
Calla Florence
Calla Victoria
Calla Darlene (I doubt this will be very apprealing, but it's on my list because my grandmother's name is Darlene)

Hmmm...
What about Calla Hermione or Calla Bernadette?(I edited this: first I had Calla Belle, but then I realized how much that sounds like cowbell! Yikes!)
