I want to like it, but I really don't. I think of riverboats and carnivals because of the instrument and then hokey kids adaptations of folktales spring to mind. I also really didn't like the character who bore it in Grey's Anatomy and that swayed me given my iffy associations. I love Callie and can't find a full name I love haha.
Her siblings would be Ginevra, Lavender, Alexei, and Perseus

Cue the crazy circus music. This name just makes me giggle. I know mythology and all, but for me it is like merry-go-round.
I like it. The meaning especially draws me to it, and I love mythological names. As for siblings I'd say:
Calliope and...
Marigold
Alexandria
Olympia
Georgiana
Amadea
Arabella
Valencia
Rosalind
Arietta
Illyria
Phaedra
Lysander
Evander
Lucian
Prosper
August
Indigo
Fabian
Valentine
Perseus
Phoenix
Lorenzo

Not as prissy sounding as Penelope and a lot more friendly/approachable than Calypso. Sounds a little rich and affluent, but at the same time weirdly free-spirited? Also not frilly but still super girly in a spunky/playful way.
