What do you think of this name?

**Arimeh** · July 24th, 2009, 02:51 PM

Not too strange - considering its from me!!

Calliope.

I saw an email here at work just a few minutes ago and the sender had this name, but spelt it Kalliope.

I remember watching grey's anatomy once and finding out that was what Cally's name was - and me and DH really liked it.

Just brought back some memories and wanted to know what others thought.

Although for some reason it reminds DH of paw paws? Strange man.

mmmmm not sure but it looks better spelt with a K

**feeb** · July 24th, 2009, 02:54 PM

with a C reminds me of cantelope!!!!! sorry

with a K is a bit better

Maybe he was thinking cantelope which is a rockmelon?

**Jakabella** · July 24th, 2009, 02:55 PM

I like it! It reminds me of a name my mum used to call me when I was little Kalliope Jane (I dont really know how to spell it!!) so it brings back great memories..

Kate xox

Arimeh... I think the K spelling suits you more - may I ask how it is pronounced... I like the look of it but am not sure on how to say it

but that could be cause I have no glasses today!

**Indadhanu** · July 24th, 2009, 02:56 PM

I like it, with a C.

Thought it does remind me of Rockhampton LOL (Shire of Calliope).

**Phteven** · July 24th, 2009, 02:56 PM

I prefer it with the traditional spelling. It looks kind of try hard with the K.
That said I don't like the name because it reminds me of a mean girl who bit me.

You beat me to it lol. I was just about to say it's a town near me. Everyone normally pronounces it as Call-eye-pee, but have heard Call-ee-oh-pee which is...different. I think it looks pretty as a name though.

**Arimeh** · July 24th, 2009, 03:24 PM

We would pronounce it Call-eye-oh-pee.

Kate - thats so cute about your mum!!!

Bron - I hope you bit her back.

Sarah - nah he knows the difference. I quizzed him about it, and he said it didn't matter, we could still use it cos if Aricyn's name reminded him of dog poo he still would have used it

My husband is weird. Which is probably why we are together

**Visitor8** · July 24th, 2009, 03:28 PM

hehe not weird at all for you Mel

I like it, prefer with a K though, it reminds me of cantelope or galipoli (don't ask me why) with a C :s

If you move to Tassie im gonna call her/him Cali though :P

**Arimeh** · July 24th, 2009, 03:34 PM

PMSL

If its a boy he won't be named Calliope.. LOL

**sneakysparkle** · July 24th, 2009, 03:36 PM

I think it would grow on me! I definately dont dislike it though - I think I need a middle name to picture it with!
I prefer the C spelling

**Arimeh** · July 24th, 2009, 03:44 PM

At the moment, the middle name being thrown around is Arwen.

If that helps at all

**sneakysparkle** · July 24th, 2009, 03:50 PM

I think Arwen is pretty - and I think Calliope takes its thunder a bit IYKWIM?
And I dont think Calliope sounds as good as the others do with your family name

Although Calliope matches Mehkelti!

I know, I'm super helpful hey!!
