I love it, love it, love it, love it.

It's such a gorgeous name. I like Iris Winter Alba but I don't think that Alba & Calla are too close to use, although they seem like very different styles to me.

I can't find a name in the style of Calla that I like. I'd love to, it's so perfect, but it's so hard to find something that works as well. What name would be similar in style IYO?

I think Iris and Sonnet, maybe even Jenna, come the closest in style to Calla, I'm unsure exactly why. Calla somehow manages to be feminine, crisp/smooth and mysterious in one fell swoop.

Can't use Jenna, my cousin's name, and I don't like.
Like Sonnet as a middle name.

Lumi is one of my top names, but not sure if I'm brave enough to use it if we leave Finland which might be on the cards soon. Love Wren, but too close to Finn. Not sure if Juno works with surname, but have Juna and Junia on my list. Love Beata, but it's a bit too heavy for me. Rain is DD's middle name so can't use Raina. Seren is lovely but don't like it with surname. Alma seems old ladyish to me, while Alba doesn't.
Thanks.
