HelpRe: Calpurnia
in reply to a message by ACL
Calpurnia is just the sort of off-beat, retro, funky name I'd love to see revived. And it would be even better on a young girl. As you say, the nn Callie is easy enough to access. Big names on little kids just makes them all the more lovable (the name, that is.)
Calpurnia and Victoria are both ancient Roman names, of course. Both beautiful in their own ways. But I see Victoria as more mainstream, less odd-ball (in a good way) than Calpurnia. That "purn" sound in Calpurnia is going to be an acquired taste for many in the general public.
I would go with a conventional mn to ground it, like Calpurnia Jane / Joan. Then again, Calpurnia Juno is calling out to me . . . .
