I like it and it is a great alternative to Penelope.
I like it... the Greek muse overpowers the image of the clowns
Well, it's one of my least favorite word names. Calliope reminds me of the music you hear accompanying circus clowns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YlrBcUciWg
I think it sounds goofy. So I picture someone friendly, but pretty dorky. Or a daughter of hipster parents, who goes by Callie because she hates when people mispronounce her name "Cally-Ope" and does not like how stuckup she sounds when she has to say "It's ka-LIE-oh-pee, the name of a Greek Muse" and they say "Oh, I thought that was circus music"
