Worlds of no . . .
There isn't enough 'no' in the universe to express how horrible Calendar is. It hasn't even got any redeeming features in terms of meaning. It's just wrong.
Epic no.

Calendar is a GP of mine. It was the name of a character in a story I liked when I was younger (The Castle in the Attic, I think?) and it's stuck with me since. I'm not creative enough to come up with combos right now but I'll say at least that I like it. :-)

The Castle in the Attic was what I thought of first, too. I don't think it would be a good name to use on a real child, though.

I don't mean to be rude, but can I remind you that a calendar is an ordinary household item? Are you going to suggest Bottle and Saucepan as names next? With some of the word names you suggested before, with religious or nature implications, I could sort of see the positive associations they theoretically held, but Calendar is really just a random word. I agree with Array that Calandra could be an interesting alternative.
Hawthorne is theroetically interesting but reminds me way too much of the writer, and Thyme just reminds me of the stuff you put on pizzas and roasts.

You can't be serious Sabrina?
This would make a horrible name for a person.

nope I'm serious [m]
I am thinking it sounds maybe slightly more masculine with the "ender" part though. I think it has a nice sound.
I don't think I'd use (at least on a person) it but I like having combos just in case. Thyme is for a MN only. Hawthrone is for either fn or mn :).

Yep. Ditto.
Hawthorne and Thyme are pretty bad too. Hawthorne is very exclusively surname in my mind (though has that ever stopped anyone before? I'm still wrapping my name around Taylor), and Thyme doesn't sound like a spice, it sounds like what you read on a clock.
If you're going to go for a 'Scarsborough fair' feeling, I'd suggest going with Rosemary instead. (Or Parsley. Kidding.)

May I interest you in Calandra?
Calendar's not doing it for me. I'd suggest Callender, which is a surname (like Marie Callender croutons) pronounced the same way as Calendar, but I'm more inclined toward Calandra today.
Hawthorne only reminds me of terrible pseudo-screamo bands, and Thyme's all right.

thanks kind of pretty it could grow on me

I like this.
Great suggestion, and Calandra has a nice sound.
LOL@ your comment to Hawthorne. I think of the The Scarlet Letter author.

I knew a girl whose full given name was Callie, but her parents later regretted never giving her a full name for shouting, so when she was in trouble, they just pretended she was really a Calandra.
Oh, I think of Nathaniel, too--the House of the Seven Gables is one of my favourite places in the world, and he was a total babe--but I see Hawthorne and my mind immediately goes So cut my wrists and black my eyes (CUT MY WRISTS AND BLACK MY EYES). ^^;;;
Array (her heart is in Ohiiiiiiiio)

Interesting about Callie, that's a good argument against nicknames as full names!

I think of The Scarlet Letter as well as the band. Although, one of the members died recently so I don't think they are technically a band anymore.

"I love, I love, I love my little calendar girl..."
Sorry, I had to say that. I love that song. I am not fond of it as a name though. If it had a feminine ending on it, I think I could like it better (ie. Calenderia, Calendera, Calenderine) Even then though, I am not particularly fond.
Hawthorne is nice, but I only like it on a male. Thyme looks trendy and sounds "granola" so to speak.

Nothing.
I'm sorry but that just doesn't work as a name. I like a lot of word names, but Calendar is ridiculous on either gender, somehow even moreso for a girl. At least it's faintly reminiscient of Alexander, maybe, sort of, not really.
Hawthorne I like as a middle name only, preferably for a boy but either gender works, and I dislike Thyme.
