Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Kalliope?
in reply to a message by Cambria
Or Calliope; personally, I've not attached myself to one particular spelling, yet. :o) I love the meaning, but do you think the sound of the name is off-putting at all - to non-namesnerds, I mean?
- I don't think so. Kalliope sounds nicely, it's not like Psyche or Bartholomew, which are pretty off-putting at the first time you see the name... By the way, I like more Calliope than Kalliope, because I always prefer the "C" instead of "K". (I like Catherine more than Katherine, Christopher mor than Kristopher etc.)
Do you think it would be misprn as "Callie-ope?"
- Maybe, every name can be mispronounced (even Anna).
Lastly, do you like it with Evangelynn / Evangeline as either a fn or mn?
- I prefer Kalliope Evangelynn, but only because I hate Evangeline. :P
I personally am liking Calliope / Kalliope Evangelynn (I'd probably use the 'c' spelling since Evangelynn is already a non-traditional spelling), but Evangelynn Calliope / Kalliope is nice to my ears, also.
- Evangeline (Evangelynn) is more common than Calliope, so the problem with misspelling wouldn't be so big. Both Evangelynn Calliope and Calliope Evangelynn flow nicely.
