Hey all. Pretty much I'm a baby name freak and have been lurking on this board for longer than I am willing to admit. That said, I decided to join today. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and and found out a bit ago that I am having another girl. I have a 4 year old, Winter Katrine (Ka-Treen, I didn't misspell Kathrine lol) & a 2 year old Ivy Lucille. Both middle names have family significance. Which brings me to my question.
What do you all think of the name Calla? Pronounced Call-Uh. For a middle name we would like to stick to one that means something to us and are thinking Calla Joelle (my name is Joelle) but is it too much L sound? I'm not sure how I feel about it together. Thoughts on it together? Thoughts on just Calla? Thank you!
Sweet baby girl will be joining us in 5/13.
Ivy Lucille joined us on 9/22/10.
Winter Katrine joined us on 12/1/08.
Became Mr. & Mrs. on 7/17/06.
Here's my issue - I've never heard the name Calla pronounced "Call-uh" I've only heard it as "Cal-uh" (as in Calla Lily). I think if you're going for a different pronunciation you're going to have to correct people a lot.
Re: Long time lurker. Decided to join!
I personally don't care for it, but I like that you are sticking with nature-y names. Winter and Ivy ... I was going to suggest Violet.
I think that Calla Joelle sounds fine. Not too many Ls.
I do like Violet but my husband does not. He said it sounds too much like Violent.
I like Calla-- it's very pretty.
Normally I don't care for themed sibsets, but I love the way these 3 names sound together.
I don't think the flow if Calla Joelle is perfect, but the sentiment is nice. I like seeing girls named after their mommies!
Have you considered Calla Jo?

I love Calla, but I believe it is pronounced cal-uh, rather than call-uh. Like Calla Lily.
Winter, Ivy and Calla are beautiful together!
No.
