Love it! Spelling is up to your own taste.

I like it and I prefer it spelled Kallista (which would be the closes to the Greek original). Callista would be my second choice.

I like Calista a lot. Then again, I used to have a cat named Callista so obviously, I like it. I prefer the double l spelling because it's closest to the original, Kallisto.

Kallista would be closest to the original, but it looks completely off to my modern-day American eyes (and I'm sure to many others, as well).

I think Calista is beautiful and deserves more attention. I love the nn Calla.

I always liked Callista best.

I like Callista the best. I prefer two "L's" because the original Greek has two lamdas. Then again, the original Greek uses a K too, not a C, so don't listen to me.

I love Kallisto, but from your list, I like Calista the most. Kallista would be closest to the original.

I like Callista and Calista best. Kallista is alright, but it seems less usable to me. Kalista seems a little awkward.

Kallista is one one my top five girl names! i like the meaning and the nicknames you can make from it. persobally i like Kalli or Kalla.
i prefer the hard k sound because it seems more greek to me.

I think it's a great name, but my favorite spelling is Callista.
If you're going for "original Greek," however, then check out Kallisto.

I really like Calista! If I were seriously considering naming my daughter this, I'd probably opt for Callista -- this was the name of my father's favorite nun at his Catholic elementary school.

Although Kallista is closest to the Greek, I prefer Calista / Callista.

I like Calista the best. The others are decent, so I can't say that I really dislike any of them. Callista reminds me of "callous" and "callus" though.

I can't hear it without thinking of Calista Flockheart, so it's a "skinny" name to me.

I would use the Calista spelling.
