Euphemia is pretty. Calliope isn't bad, but I find it an awkward name to actually say out loud.

Calliope. I like Euphemia but can really only picture it on a fictional character.

I like Calliope, Euphemia is okay

Calliope is nice

Euphemia is superior, no contest for me. It's so soft and graceful.

Calliope has a beautiful meaning. I don't think a stressed syllable 'lie' is a good choice, but people would be likely to guess 'cal-ee-OH-pee' so it probably wouldn't matter. And I vaguely remember an American poem about a calliope, pronounced Call-yohp, which was a very noisy fairground ride.

Euphemia is far too close to 'euphemism'.
