Calista meaning

My name is Calista! I am frequently called Cali, and having a unique name like this is nice. I enjoy telling people my name because it rolls off the tongue.
Hello from Detroit, Michigan!!!

Calista is my daughters name, I have never meet anyone with the name Calista before, and no I did not get it from Calista Flockhert. This name was mentioned to me when I was very young, and It'stuck with me until I had a child of my own. People always take a second breath and say "What was that again❤️"

I am thinking about naming my baby Callista. I love that the name is strong yet feminine and definitely unique. The name has grown on my husband although my mother and mother-in-law aren't so fond. They think it'd difficult to pronounce...really I don't think its that hard. Besides I would nickname her Callie. That's easy for anyone:)

My name is Calista and people say it wrong all the time. I have just given up trying to correct people unless they are really wrong. I have only been in a room with one other. I know of two othe's. I love my name and would not change it for the world!

my name is calista<33im from fort worth texas!i love my name!

My 4-almost-5 year old Daughter's middle name is Calista. I had desperately sought for an unusual name during the entire pregnancy. And one afternoon as i waited in line at a medical office i heard another mom speaking to her little girl, Calista. It'struck me there how beautiful It'sounded on a little bouncy girl. i've only met one other Calista in my 25 years. Not many here in Georiga. Uniquely beautiful and undeniably feminine, i have gotten nothing but positive comments over the years. Plus, my daughter thinks everyone should have a "Calista" in their name! And for those who like nicknames, there are a couple of possibilities. Callie, Lista, & Listy.

Well, my name is Daniel too... and although I'm still in high school all of my friends call me Dan or Danny... I love having more than one name because it makes me feel like people are restricted to just calling me by one name!! i love my name!!!

My name is Calysta. Everyone wrIt's it with an i I just correct it with a y. Every time I tell someone my name they say It'sounds pretty. I like my name. I dont know anyone else with it.

Calista is my sister's name, she was born in the 50's, long before we knew of Flockhart. A truly unique name. Not trendy or cute, but timeless. I have only met one other woman with this name, and she is close to 90 years old.

My name is Calista and people definitely always pronounce it wrong! I find I'm used to it now as I'm 21 years old. My name is pronounced CA-LI-STA. Just how it looks! It is very rare to run into another Calista. Last time I did I was about 7 or 8 years old! I do love my name and don't regret being named this name.

I spell my name Calista and pronounce it Ca-lis-ta, just like It's spelled. People do tend to ask two or three times what it is and mispronounce it as Carissa or Calissa. I usally get a "That is such a pretty name" Or "That is a unique name." 95% of the time people ask me if I was named after Calista Flockhart. I always answer NO. Growing up my little sister'struggled saying my name until she was three or four so I was Sista. I do not go by any nicknames because then'the originality of my name is lost.

our name is veerrryyyy rare! lol :) only 2,432 of us!!! hahah thats awesome!;)

My name is Callista Antonina, meaning most beautiful and super excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better name(: it gets mispronounced and misspelled quite a bit though. My 4-H leader calls me Cuh-Lis-ih-tah like there's an extra "i" in there, so it gets old sometimes. But I love my name! My family calls me Callie, as do close friends(: I have never hated my name and never will. Once my friend said I should change it to "Callis" as in Cuh-lees but I think she was just a weirdo haha.

Calista is my name i am 28 years. When i was 8 to 13 year i hate d name because i do not know the mean. But now i am proudy of my name calista

My name is Callista and while It's unique, many people particularly Asians could not even pronounce it.

My best friend is named calista! It's the most beautiful name i've ever heard! It truly matches her personality! Unique and rare!! No wonder her name means "most beautiful!!"

Have my name'spelled Calysta. Everybody says its a beautiful name.it is. Most people spell it with a I.

this is a gorgeous name. even'though i don't have this name, It'sounds so unique and pretty.

I happen'to love the name Calista because it has special meaning to me. You see my dad passed away a long time ago and his name was Calixto, the male version of Calista. If I ever have another girl I will name her after my dad because he was the most important man in my life.

my mom named me after her friend and when i was younger i didnt like it because of the faces i'd get. but later on i relized how unique my name really was and it gives like a self boost everytime someone says it to me. the only other girl with my name was like 6 years old of this year. now everytime i see her i give her a bear hug for being soo special.

we got dis homegurl called greta n she is da best cos of her 'unique' name we also got dis one called Margaret but we don call her 'greta' BUT 'GRETAR he'sELF FINKS HER NAME IS ALL DAT

I named my daughter Callista, because it means most beautiful in Greek. I am not Greek but I also have a Greek name, Corinthian, and I have always found Greek mythology beautiful and ethereal. That is what my daughter is to me, she is the most ethereally beautiful thing in my life and I can't imagine her as anything but my little Callista.

We named my daughter Grace not knowing it was quite as popular as it is right now. It is a family name for us and we planned to use it for years before we had our daughter...I think it is beautiful, simple, and does not need any nicknames. The name has not worn out on me despite yelling it over and over (she is two!).

Calista my daughter...ethereal. Child of the'stars. I gave her this name because it is both strong and elegant formal with a hip nickname. I love you baby girl and may you rule over us all with wisdom and compassion. Affectionately your father.

Calista is my name (born long before Flockhart made it famous :)). She pronounces it "kuh-LISS-tuh" and I'm sure many who named their children after'she became famous do too, but mine has always been said kuh-LEES-tuh. The name is Greek, and I think the Greek pronunciation is really somewhere in between, but I like the pronunciation the way my parents gave it to me. i've always had very positive feedback whenever people hear my name. All my life people have told me my name was beautiful, and I think that helped give me confidence meeting people even as a kid. They don't always remember it, which is why I have a nickname (Cally) as well, but i've never gotten a weird look or a confused reaction. Maybe people do that if the pronunciation is kuh-LISS-tuh (because It'sounds like Carissa)❤️

when i was pregn't it took me forever to come up with a name for my son. i wanted something perfect, i named him Caden Elijah. i love It'so much and i get sooo many compliments on how cute it is and how cute and sweet he is of course.

Named our Daughter Callista after my Gradfather's sister. My great aunt Callista's name was always pronounced Cah-LIST-ah. Its a fantastic name, as mentioned, strong yet feminine, and actually quite old.

I LOVE the name Calista ♡ it is my daughter's name. Yes, she was born in 2011 & yes, I first heard the name when Calista Flockhart was Ally Mcbeal. Thanks for this rare and beautiful name choice Ms. Flockhart :)

My husband wanted to name our daughter Calli. However, I felt that Calli was a nick name or was a short form of some other name. I then purchased a baby name book and looked up the name "Calli", which informed that "Calli" was short for Callista or Callison. I liked the name Callista best, thus decided to name our daughter Callista and call her "Calli" for short. Our Callista was born March 20120 and she is forever getting compliments on her name.

Well my name is DaiJa also. I LOVE THE NAME DAIJA BECAUSE IT FITS ME. i really like it because the way it is pronouced!:)

My name is Calysta. I love my name. When I was younger people would pronounce my name wrong but not so much anymore. My name is pronounced Kuh-liss-ta. I have not met anyone else with my name.

We named our baby girl Imelda Rose. We think its an absolutely beautiful name with stren'th and character. We call her I'me for short and pronounce her name Imelda like "Im"portent.

People always pronounce my name wrong but It's funny to me and I just correct them. I love my name. People ask me if I wanted to change my name, what would it be❤️ And i always say I would never change my name. I'met one girl while I was shopping named calista. Her mother called her over and I thought she was calling me!

My daughter's name is Kalysta Dysis. Both names are Greek and treanslate to mean most beautiful sunset. My husband and I spent nine months trying different names but Kalysta Dysis is the one we chose when we met her. No one (family) liked the name in the beginning but now they all say we couldn't have picked a better name. People do tend to stop and ask us to say her name again because they have never heard it before. We will not use a nickname for her, but I am sure one day her friends will.

This is a beautiful name and if we have a daughter we will name her this. It's so sweet, short and yet still fancy.

I love it. It is my daughter's name. I did get it from Calista Flockhart from the'shows opening credits the first time I saw the'show. The name just stuck with me as unique and beautiful. I named my daughter years after Ally McBeal went off the air-I did not do it to be trendy. Very unique name-do not use if you care too much about othe's opinions.

People always ask me if I want to change my name, but I always say no because It's unique! That's one reason why I love my name (Calista)!

this is my sister's name and she has not met anyone else called this, as it is a very unusual name.

My daughters name is callista and it traces back to the native american language. The english translation was daughter of the'stars she loves her name and when I told her that'she loved it even more

My name is Callista and I love my name. People use to call me ka-lis-tha. But I like to have a name like this. I have not seen anyone with my name

I named my daughter Calista and she is always getting compliments on it, the only problem is when I tell someone her name I usually have to repeat it, people tend to miss the "T" pronunciation and they say "Calissa" I really like how unique it is!

I named my daughter Calista, and it was before Flockhart came to the'scene. My husband wanted to spell it with a K, but I still like the C spellling much better.

my name is calista and i feel proud that i am calista

Almost everytime I tell someone my name, they say "How beautiful!" So I just tell it like it is and say "That's what it means." I absolutely love my name because It's 9 spots away from being THE MOST UNCOMMON NAME in the U.S. No one has it. It makes me really unique, and it makes it really hard to confuse people about "which girl" I am. I AM PROUD TO BE CALISTA!

I think Kalysta is a very nice name.I have a friend named Kalysta. She is my best friend. My name is Caitlyn,and I will not let her be offended by the note on this page.

My name is Calista and I love my name because I think I am beautiful and I like Calista Flockhart.No matter how you think about my name, I know my name is the best and I feel proud to be Calista.

My name is Kalysta(ka le sta). Everyone calls me kallie(kally, like kelly but with an A). I really like the name. It is unique and I really like it. Some of my friends call my Kalysta still, like a joke but I don't mind.

I think Calysta is an awesome name because my name is Calysta and everyone says they love the name Calysta, it also means 'Most Beautiful

My daughter's name is Callista taken from the name of Orthodox Church saint Virgin martyr St.Callista of Cappadocia. She is almost 8 years old now and beautiful as her name.

We named our six year old son Mack. We thought it was a great name that could not be shortened. Our friends normally spell it "Mac" - until I put them right! Jacqui Brett, Suffolk, England.

Hi! My name is Calista as well and I love the name. An extra bonus is that it means most butiful! :)

My name is Calista as well. People are forever pronouncing my name wrong, but also say it is beautiful. Never in my life have I'met another Calista, And I am grateful for that. If I had the'same name as someone else, I'd feel as if I were not unique. There was someone else that had MY name. My parents did NOT name me after Calista Flockhart, they found it in a baby book. So now I know I'm not named after'someone, so that's good. People always say I am beautiful, though I do not agree. Then again, Calista means "Most beautiful." I am also the most intelligent child in the family. That is why I love my name.

I think Callista is a beautiful name. My mother is as author and one of the characters in her most recent book is called Callista. I loved that name ever'since I read it! If I ever have a little girl, I will call her Callista! :)

My daughter's name is Kalysta pronounced Kaleesta not calista. Young people love her name.

This is my daughter's name. We spelled it like this because her grandma's name is Marilyn, and so Madilyn is only one letter different, they are connected, but she has her own name within the family.

I was born in 2004 and my full name is Callista.. but I have gone by Callie my entire life. Not because I don't like Callista.. my parents just decided they would name me Callista, but call me Callie. I think because Callie is much more casual and cutesy, but then'they still wanted me to be able to sound more formal and professional as I got older by going by Callista. Some of my friends call me Callista on occasion because they think It's pretty.. because it is! Haha. I respond to either, but what I introduce myself as to new people depends on the'situation. But yeah, I like the name.

Ally McBeal, first thought. Two, Calista sounds more like the name of a business (Calista Enterprises) rather than a female's name. Not a pleasant sounding name.

my name is colista pronounced the'same as calista but i wish it was spelled kalysta

My name is calista and i sometimes like it because people prounouce it wrong its pronouced as Kuh-lis-tah and people prounce it as Kuh-lees-tah. But most of my friends say my name is unique and pretty. I learn to love my name as i grow.

my name is calista too, but its spelled kellista wierd and i cant find a meaning for it...

I named my daugther Calista in 1983. The name was taken from the middle name of her Nana which had been in the family for a very long time. I love the name and refused to call her anything but Calista. The name is as unique as my daugther.
