Name Crisis

BeccaMichelle · Nov 10th, 2009, 09:02 AM

Me and hubby have always had a really hard time deciding on a name.. I thought we had had one sorted but off and on he has said "I'm not really sure about the name Michelle" and then the other morning when he got out of the shower he had decided he was against it now...

So now he's leaning towards Jessica but the 2008 name ranking shows it at #5! I really don't want her to have to deal with 5 other girls with the same name in her class. I like Callista. Nickname Callie. Not sure the best way to spell it though. Seems that traditionally it's with one L. Calista, but I've always had it in my head that it had 2 Ls. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

I voted Jessica. I think its a very pretty name and I like the shortened name Jessie aswell.

Thanks

it helps a little that Jessica is only ranked 59th in America and we do plan to move back before she's school aged... so maybe the fact that it's so popular in Britain won't be that much of a problem??

I like Calista spelt either way, but I would naturally spell it with 1 L.

I voted Jessica - I don't know of too many little girls with this name - in fact just 1 in the last couple of years.

good luck choosing! xx
