The first six are rated in order of preference. The second six, I just can't rate them.
Caroline – used for my daughter
Caitlin – less ubiquitous than Catherine
Catherine – prefer Katharine
Camila – preferably Camilla
Calista – preferably Callista. What’s with the single Ls?
Carmen – lovely opera, OK name
Callie – all right as a nn for a small child
Calliope – pronounced Callyope when it’s a steam whistle! No.
Cara – flimsy, and past its prime
Carla – unattractive
Cassandra – long and clumsy, and I dislike Sandra
Catalina – fine in its own language

Calliope cal i o pe
Not when it's a steam whistle. Which were apparently used to make a cheerful noise in American fairgrounds - merry-go-rounds and such. I had a poetry anthology which got left behind in our last move: it contained a poem by an American writer whose name I forget, but someone on this site will probably know. His poem is'spoken' by a calliope which flatly rejects the 'correct' pronunciation: it insists on being called a call-yope, can't recall its exact spelling, to celebrate its happy, noisy, energetic American working-class identity. The point being that the men who operated it didn't have a classical education and did their best with what they saw in front of them. It's a good poem! I'm sorry I lost it.
