Keep, Toss, Add- Girl Names

doodleoodle · February 2017

DD is Penelope and DD2 will be arriving in June. We're having a hard time coming up with a name that we feel is as feminine sounding as Penelope, but isn't childish sounding. I would like DD2's name to also be of Greek origin, but it isn't a must.

Names in consideration:
Chloe
Phoebe
Calista

Names we can't/won't use:
Annabelle
Mila
Lily
Rebecca
Zoey

Thank you for your time!

I love Calista. Perfect name and goes really well with Penelope. Before reading your list, the first ideas that popped into my head were Genevieve or Rosemary.

I think Calista is beautiful. Anastasia, Celena, and Evangeline might be other Greek options. love penelope by the way.

Love Calista! Chloe is also adorable, but seems to be getting more popular right now.

Thank you all for your feedback!

The concern I have with Calista is that it's so uncommon that people will have issues spelling/pronouncing it. What do you all think?

Love Calista! I can't foresee how anyone would have spelling or pronouncing issues. If someone did it would be an easy one time correction especially in comparison to the million made up misspelled names that are currently trendy. I would never not use a real uncommon name for that fear. FWIW I have a Giada which isn't in the top 1000 and I run into no problems

I'd keep Phoebe and Calista, toss Chloe. I grew up with a Calista, and no one ever seems to have a problem with her name- it's pronounced the way it looks, and isn't so uncommon that no one has ever heard of it.

I like Calista. It has the same sophistication as Penelope.
