[Opinions] Estella or Callista?
If you had to choose between the two, which one would you choose and most importantly WHY? Why do you like/dislike the names? You can alter spellings if you wish.

Estella...
It's just prettier imo.

Estella- prefer Estelle though.
Callista, definitely
I love the nickname Callie, and I love the Greek history behind Callista. Also, Estella has much more of an old-lady feel to me, and Callista has a lot of spunk, having never been super-popular. It's more lively-sounding and I think it's a name that would turn heads in a good way.
Estella seems to be one of those rising celebrity names... or maybe that's just Stella. Either way, that's holding me off on it.

I love Estella. I think it's a beautiful, elegant name.
However, I really dislike the sound of Callista.

Callista. I think it's younger sounding and prettier than Estella. The Es sound of Estella always annoys me. Callista can also be shortened to Callie which makes it a much more normal sounding name. Unusual names stand out and I think it is important to have the option of a name that fits in with Emilys and so on better. About Estella, I always think Estelle is a rather classy, elegant name. Adding the a on the end ruins it. I do however prefer the nns Ella and Ellie to Callie. I'm not a fan of Stella which might explain a bit why I don't like Estella.
For spellings I like Callista and Calista the same really. Kalysta is also pretty but I don't think it would fit so well on all age ranges.

I prefer Callista. It's a beautiful, uncommon and memorable name. And you get the nicknames Calla and Callie. The reason I dislike Estella is, a long time ago, I heard a really annoying chavvy song with the lyrics: "Sheila goes out with her mate Stella /It gets poured all over her fella /Cause she's says, man he ain't no better" etc. I remember song lyrics for ages. Now, I can't think of any name that contains Stella without THAT running through my head.
estella. i think its prettier and i like the nn ella, which is usable with this name.
callista sounds like callus to me, like a callus on your hand or something, which is not appealing
