    I've only ever heard it pronounced this way when people were joking. 

    It is Cal-I-Oh-Pee, I believe.

    DH LOVES this name.

    In Greek (where the name originated) it's actually pronounced Kah-lee-OH-pee.

    Outside the US I am pretty sure it is pronounced Kah-lee-ope (rhymes with HOPE).  In the US I have always heard Kuh-lie-oh-pee.

    Kuh-lie-uh-pee is how I've heard it, like on Grey's Anatomy.

    FWIW I think it's a beautiful name.

    Greys was the first thing I thought of. I really like it too!

    Im no expert in name etymology, but this doesn't make sense to me. Calliope is of Greek origin, similar to the name Penelope. The -ope in Penelope does not rhyme with hope. Therefore, I would assume that Calliope would follow suit. Also, I dig this name.

    Yup! I adore this name and it all started with Calliope Torres on Gray's.

    I couldn't name a kid this because of the musical instrument.  The instrument is always Ca-LIE-oh-pee
