I used to adore this name, but my interest in it has waned over the last couple of years. I pronounce it CAL-ah (the first syllable having a short "a" sound). That is how calla lily is pronounced. I know of a little girl named
Calla Elizabeth, and her sister is
Anja Maria. I adore those little girls and both of their names. :)
Calla supposedly got her name as a suggestion from her sister,
Anja, who was 3 or 4 when
Calla was born. 1)
Calla was the name of a princess on the Gummi Bears cartoon (LOL), and 2) forgive the spelling, but... Super-Calla-frajulistic-ex-pee-alla-docious. :b
