What's in a name?

So today I've been looking at baby names. No, I'm not pregnant, just bored. But what sparked this, I have not a clue.

Anyway, a few years ago I found out that my great aunt Gaynell's first name is Callie. Why she goes by her middle name, I have not a clue lol. Anyway, I thought this name was pretty and decided if I ever have a girl I want to name her Callie. Well, Callie sounds like it is short for something else, but my aunt said it's not short for anything. At least her name wasn't. I went online and saw that Callie, and other variations of it, is short for Callista which is an absolutely beautiful name. The name itself is greek meaning the most beautiful one.

This is where my boredom kicks in. I went online today to look at other female greek names to use as a middle name. I have a thing for greek names, considering my first name is greek in origin =D. So, I came up with this combination: Callista Enora. It just rolls off the tongue. Enora means light. Together you could say the name means the most beautiful light =)

Yeah, there's my morning so far. I had to jot this down somewhere, else I would have forgotten.

My neice's name is Callie...a lot of people think we're trying to say Kelly but we're misprouncing it. People are idiots.

I like Callista. :)
