My two newest loves are Calista and Camilla. I've been thinking of them long enough to earn both names a spot on my PNL. I feel they are usable, and would even consider them for another kid.
I'm not sure how I came about to like Calista. I was trying to think of a formal version for Callie or Calla, and I thought of Calista, and I just said it to myself and loved the sound.
I used to not even like Camilla - I associated it too much with a certain chain-smoking, middle aged, frumpy, British aristocrat. But it has grown on me.
Both names fit my criteria - they fit in but stand out, and seem spunky but still classic enough.
WDYT of Calista & Camilla. Any middle name ideas?
