What do you think of Callista? Callista is the Latin form of the Greek Kallista. Do you prefer Callista, Kallista or Calista?

I think my preferred spelling is Calista. Is it inauthentic because of just one L?

Calista or Kallisto?

I like Callista. I prefer Kallisto or Kallista. The other spellings are ok for me as they are used in other languages.

Callista is a beautiful name. I prefer the double 'l' because it's closest to the original, however, Calista is fine paired with a Spanish or Portuguese surname.

Re: Kallisto, yeah, I know it's the original but I dislike how it ends.

I like Calista. The extra L in Callista is too much.

Kalista looks horrible.

I would think K/Calisto is masculine, but thats just my guess and opinion.
