"Lately I'm loving Calanthe for a girl ("ka-LAN-thee"). I might use the nickname Callie.

---

Wdyto the name, and of these combos? Other suggestions welcome :-)"

---

I love the NN Callie too. But Calanthe might be a little too difficult / different as a FN.

---

Calanthe Iona - Nice combo, I think the MN needs to be short.
Calanthe Julian - Julian is too masculine. What about Julia?
Calanthe Justina - these don't seem to match well
Calanthe Magdalen - these don't seem to match well
Calanthe Mara - so so
Calanthe Meriel - these don't seem to match well
Calanthe Scarlet - like the name Scarlet, but not with Calanthe
Calanthe Georgiana - too long. Maybe Georgia instead?

---

Mariel Calanthe - not bad
Honour Calanthe - I like Honoria better, but still doesn't flow well.
Summer Calanthe - Don't like Summer.
Estella Calanthe - not bad
April Calanthe - not bad
Annabelle Calanthe - too long.
Aisling Calanthe ("ASH-ling") - not bad

I like it as a mn rather than a fn. I love Aisling Calanthe

DAD: DO YOU THINK THAT WOMAN'S STILL WITH HIM?
ME: NO, SHE'S GOT HER SIGHT BACK NOW!

I'm still undecided on whether I like Calanthe or not. Callie is kinda cute though (like it as a nn for Calliope).
I think these are the best combos from your list:

---

Calanthe Iona
Calanthe Magdalen
Calanthe Mara
Calanthe Scarlet
Calanthe Georgiana
Honour Calanthe
Summer Calanthe
Annabelle Calanthe

---

Some suggestions:
Calanthe Jasmine (however that could be too "flowery"!)
Calanthe Jane
Calanthe Juliet
Calanthe Alice
Imogen Calanthe
Ava Calanthe

---

Mum to Hayley Anne. :)

---

I like Calanthe Scarlett

---

Calanthe Jasmine
Calanthe Maye
Calanthe Raegan
Calanthe Brooke
Calanthe Grace

I don't like Calanthe but some of these combos are good.

---

Calanthe Iona - "eye-OH-na" - lovely flow
Calanthe Julian - Julian is a boys name
Calanthe Justina - nms
Calanthe Magdalen - I like Magdalena
Calanthe Mara - I prefer Mira
Calanthe Meriel - nms
Calanthe Scarlet - prett
Calanthe Georgiana - they don't work together

---

Mariel Calanthe - nms
Honour Calanthe - no
Summer Calanthe - alright
Estella Calanthe - I dislike Estella but nicknames Stella, Ella, Elle, Ellie would work
April Calanthe - pretty
Annabelle Calanthe - lovely
Aisling Calanthe ("ASH-ling ") - I like this

I can't say I like Calanthe, it makes me think of ... calamity .... sort of.
But if you want to use it, I like the combo Calathe Magdalen the most.

I like Calanthe but I would pair it with a more common fn, like Calanthe Summer or Calanthe Jillian. I prefer Julian for a boy.

---

Annabelle Calanthe is my favorite.

"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

Calanthe is a bit to unusual. I don't really like it but if you do, that's fine. It's especially not a very pretty middle name.

---

Opinions on first name combos:
Calanthe Iona- Iona is a bit to strange for me as well
Calanthe Julian- Julian is a boys' name!
Calanthe Justina- Justina's very pretty
Calanthe Magdalen- Magdalene is better than Magdalen
Calanthe Mara- Never been the biggest fan of Mara
Calanthe Meriel- Don't like names like Meriel, Mariel, Muriel, Merle
Calanthe Scarlet- Only if she has red hair; I prefer Scarlett
Calanthe Georgiana- Georgiana is also very pretty
