Callista has always sounded empty to me - like there was just something missing. Calixta kind of fills that space I always had a problem with. So, I guess, it's a necessary complication for me! ;)My faves are:
Calixta Cecily
Calixta Charlotte (also like the reverse of this)
Calixta Inez - because Inez just makes everything better to me
Calixta Genevieve
Calixta Vivien
Calixta Mary
Calixta Emily

I lean towards preferring Calista because it feels lighter to me and doesn't have the "licks" sound in it, but Calixta is still nice.I think Calixta Fern is sharp and Colours Inez is elegant. Calixta Naomi is sweet.

I think saying it in English is a little laborious, but I can understand the appeal of the Spanish pronunciation, which is pretty; though no one would pronounce it in that manner in America. Calixta Margaret is nice.

There is a Swedish town called Kalix which is all I can think of when I hear Calixta.
