Callista. I think it's younger sounding and prettier than Estella. The Es sound of Estella always annoys me. Callista can also be shortened to Callie which makes it a much more normal sounding name. Unusual names stand out and I think it is important to have the option of a name that fits in with Emilys and so on better. About Estella, I always think Estelle is a rather classy, elegant name. Adding the a on the end ruins it. I do however prefer the nns Ella and Ellie to Callie. I'm not a fan of Stella which might explain a bit why I don't like Estella.
For spellings I like Callista and Calista the same really. Kalysta is also pretty but I don't think it would fit so well on all age ranges.
